DIY Easy Soy Essential Oil Candles

This year I really wanted to make some homemade gifts. The kind people would use though and not say "oh thanks" but then store it in their closets or regift. I love candles. Most people I know have candles or essential oils. I wanted to mix them together bec its a candle that's nontoxic and good for you. For those oilers like me. Other candles can be too toxic.

This was beyond easy! I bought containers and soy flakes that came with wicks from Amazon. At the end of the blog, I will put the websites if you want to use the same kind.

1. Put containers on cookie sheet. Just makes it easier.

2. On the stove in a pot, you don't really want or need I melted a full pot of soy flakes. It was the size of pot that you would do like a box of mac and cheese in lol. While listening to Christmas music I put 25 drops of Essential oils in. If didn't smell enough I would add another 10. Pick whichever one you want. Make sure it is a good brand to make sure it's pure. I love the Holiday scents from DoTERRA not only is it good for you but it smells AMAZING!  Melt on Medium until it turns in liquid.

3. Put the wicks in the containers and pour just a little bit of the wax in the container to hold the wick. Make sure its just a little so the wax turns white. The wick will now stay:) YEAH! Then you can pour the rest of the melted soy wax into the containers to the top. Make sure its all the way to the top bec as it firms it will go a little lower in the container.

4. Now its done and you can cut the wicks to the size you need to close the top. It smells great and its a great super easy gift. This actually took longer to write about than it did making it! Super easy. Smells soooo good. Again my favorite Essential Oils are doTERRA. Here is the link to the Holiday Scents! SO GOOD!  https://www.doterra.com/US/en/p/doterra-holiday-joy-essential-oil-blend 

Plus you can diffuse it for the rest of the holidays. There are 240 drops in one bottle. That's a lot of candles.
