01
Preparation in advance (the following is the amount required for each candle)

Wax:White natural refined beeswax 20g, Ecosoya CB-Advanced soy wax (container) 130g
Due to the high temperature in May, , it is recommended to use US 464 natural soy wax or US C3 natural soy wax

Wax wick:No. 4 white cotton wick

Pigment flakes:Pigment flakes(red)

Fragrance:Fragrance (red rose)15g

Containers and tools:7oz clear glass (200ml), 7oz gold metal lid, 7oz black hard box packaging box , gold pattern transfer paper, electronic scale, glass rod, heating tools (furnace, heat gun ) , Thermometer , Wax core sticker , Wax core holder , 2 200ml stainless steel measuring cups , sprayer (Black mini spray gun 250ml), Bamboo sticks , Carnation mold Tools

02
Fixed wick

Before melting the wax, wipe the inside of the container with a paper towel and use wick stickers to secure the wax wick to the bottom of the container.

03
Weigh and heat Ecosoya CB-Advanced soy wax

Weigh 130 grams of wax and heat it to melt.
(One 7-ounce container candle requires approximately 130 grams of Ecosoya CB-Advanced Soy Wax. To make four candles, weigh approximately 520 grams.)

04
Mixed essence

When the wax is completely melted and the temperature is about 70°C, then add 13 grams of essence and mix. (To make four candles, mix approximately 52 grams.)

05
Wax injection

Use a heat gun to slightly heat the inside of the candle container, then pour the wax mixed with fragrance into it.

** It is recommended to use a wick holder to fix the wick before pouring it in so that the wick is centered.

06

Weigh andHeat white natural refined beeswax

Put 20 grams of weighed white natural refined beeswax into a stainless steel beaker and melt it to 90°C.
(It takes about 20 grams of white natural refined beeswax to make one carnation, and 80 grams of melted beeswax to make four carnations.)

07
Weigh the pigment flakes

When the white natural refined beeswax reaches 90℃, use red pigment flakes to color the carnations.
You can create light reds by adding a small amount of pigment flakes, and dark red carnations by adding a large amount of pigment flakes. With the desired concentration in mind, measure out a small or large amount of paint flakes and drop in.

08
Mixed essence

When the toned white natural refined beeswax reaches 85~90℃, add 2 grams of essence.
(The maximum aroma carrying capacity is 10%. One carnation is mixed with 2 grams, and four carnations are mixed with 8 grams.)

09
Inject wax into the mold

Use a heat gun to increase the temperature inside the silicone mold. When the temperature of the beeswax and essence mixture is about 80~85℃, pour it into the mold.

10
Make wick hole

When the surface of the carnation mold has hardened to a certain extent, use the back of a bamboo skewer to punch a wax core hole.
Before the wax is completely hardened, turn it slightly left and right to prevent the bamboo stick and wax from solidifying together, and widen the hole so that the wax core can be inserted well.

** Please punch holes according to the size of the No. 4 wax core.

Tag

Cut the part of the transfer paper that needs to be used, tear off the transparent film and stick it on the surface of the container candle so that the transfer can be seen where you want to stick it the back of the paper. Use a spray to moisten the back of the transfer paper. After spraying water for about 1 minute, gently slide the paper up and down to lift it up.
