Pumpkin Spice Candle // Clean Living


This candle has fall written all over it. Enjoy!



 ingredients:

2 cups soy wax shavings
wooden candle wick
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cardamon
1 tsp ginger
5 cloves
10 drops vanilla essential oil
candle holder
tape
cooking pot

Begin by melting the wax on the stove top on low. Once melted, mix in spices and essential oil. 


Pour the wax into the candle holder. Wait a few minutes for wax to cool a bit, then insert the wooden candle wick. 


Next, place a piece of tape over the top of the candle holder, keeping the wooden wick in place so that when the wax hardens, it will be centered. 

Once the wax completely hardens, your candle is ready for use!

  3. Question: Do you have to use a wooden wick or can you use a cotton wick. I figured they were interchangeable but I wanted to ask first. Thanks!

  8. Ah, this is so great! I ordered some wax for candle making for Christmas gifts but I know so little about it. I LOVE that you can use kitchen spices! I didn't know that the wooden wicks worked in small candles, either. I love them but I thought I'd have to use cotton. Thank you, and beautiful photos.
