3. Cool the melted wax down to room temperature, then pour it into the prepared glass. Then add your favorite essential oil according to your preference. The amount of essential oil does not need to be too much. Add one tenth of the wax each time, and then use a special glass stirring rod to stir the wax and essential oil evenly.

4. Let the wax liquid with essential oil cool further. When it is about to solidify, insert the prepared candle wick. If the surface of the wax is uneven, continue to heat and melt the wax liquid and pour it on it to smooth it out. When making scented candles, you can also add crayons of your favorite color to melt together, so that the scented candles will become your favorite color.
