Materials You'll Need:

• Essential Zen Holiday Collection (Cinnamon, Frankincense, Peppermint, Rosemary, Sandalwood, Vanilla)
• Soy wax beads
• Candle wicks
• Heat-resistant containers or molds
• Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
• Stirring utensil
• Thermometer
• Optional: Dried herbs or flowers for decoration

Step 1: Choose Your Fragrance

Select your desired Essential Zen essential oil from the Holiday Collection to set the mood for your homemade candle. Whether it's the cozy warmth of Cinnamon, the timeless elegance of Frankincense, the refreshing burst of Peppermint, the herbal allure of Rosemary, the grounding embrace of Sandalwood, or the sweet indulgence of Vanilla, each scent promises to elevate your space.

Step 2: Measure the Soy Wax 

Carefully measure the desired amount of soy wax beads based on the size of your container or mold. Aim for an ounce of wax for every inch of your container's diameter.

Step 3: Melt the Wax 

Using a double boiler or a microwave-safe bowl, melt the soy wax beads until fully liquefied. Keep a close eye on the temperature with a thermometer to ensure it reaches around 170°F (77°C).

Step 4: Add Essential Zen Magic 

Once melted, let the wax cool slightly before adding 10-15 drops of your chosen Essential Zen essential oil. Stir gently to ensure even distribution, and marvel at the aromatic symphony taking shape.

Step 5: Secure the Wick 

Dip the metal base of the wick into the melted wax and place it in the center of your container. Hold it in place until the wax sets, ensuring a secure foundation.

Step 6: Pour in the Magic 

Carefully pour the scented wax into your container, leaving about half an inch from the top. If you wish, add dried herbs or flowers for a touch of natural elegance.

Step 7: Let it Set 

Allow your candle to cool and solidify completely. This may take a few hours, so be patient – the anticipation is part of the magic!

Step 8: Trim and Light Up 

Trim the wick to your desired length, and behold the masterpiece you've created! Light your candle, bask in the Essential Zen aura, and let the holiday spirit fill your home.
