Romantic Rose and Vanilla Soy Candles

Happiness is homemade. Light up the night with these romantic rose and vanilla soy candles. You will need:

• Natural soy wax flakes
• Candle-making pitcher
• 6 oz. candle tins
• Candle wicks
• 25 drops of Source Vital Rose Essential Oil
• Five drops of vanilla extract
• Optional: dried roses

Fill candle-making pitcher two-thirds full of wax flakes to make seven 6-ounce candles. Place the pitcher inside a pot of boiling water or double boiler over low heat (about 150-180 degrees Fahrenheit). Stir frequently until wax has fully melted. Mix in drops of rose essential oil, vanilla extract, and optional dried roses. Dip the metal bottom of the wick in the hot wax and place into tin to secure the wick. After the wax bottom of the wick has dried, carefully pour wax into tins and be sure wicks stay upright. Allow candles to cool for a few hours before using.

Pair this gift with our Valentine’s Day kit or Valentine’s Day gift certificates – the perfect treat for your sweet.
