I love how these candles turned out! These would make nice presents :)

Thank you! Yes, I've given lots of them away through the years, and handmade candles always seem to be appreciated!

Thanks! I am starting a small biz! This helped a lot. I use my DōTerra essential oils too! Super excited.

I have also used these (if you prefer not to have the quilted look on the side of the glass): amzn.to/30sT04N

how much essential oil would you use for that batch? Are you going to do the video?

Hi Susan! I've read that you should use at least 100 drops of essential oil for every pound of wax. It takes a lot of essential oil to scent candles! I haven't had a chance to make a video yet, but I hope to get one made in the future.

I don't have any experience with that. I've only made these candles just with the soy wax, and they always turn out great!

I've never added coconut oil to my soy candles before, but I do add coconut oil to my beeswax candles. You can find the tutorial for those here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h5uHlpKcYdnfh6Q.html
