Ingredients:

Optional: 24g Fragrance oil of your own choice

Equipment:

Wick centring tool

Double boiler

Thermometer

Spoon

Large roll of tape

Jug

Step 1:

Melt the wax in a double boiler on a medium heat until clear and smooth. Whilst this is melting, prepare your glass by making sure it’s clean and dry inside. Then use a glue dot and place this on the end of your wick and place into the middle of the glass. Secure this centrally with a wick centring tool over the glass.

Step 2:

Optional: Weigh and add your fragrance oil below its flashpoint temperature and mix until fully blended into the wax.

Step 3:

Once the temperature is between 60-65c, pour 48g of melted wax into a jug and add a pinch of light green dye. Mix this well until completely dissolved, for around 2 minutes. Leave the left over wax in the double boiler on a medium heat.

Step 4:

Place the wicked candle glass securely at an angle into a roll of tape. Then pour the green wax into the glass. You will need to wait for this layer to set, for around 30-45 minutes.

Step 5:

Once the green layer has set, move the glass in the opposite direction, in a tilted position. Repeat step 3 with the next dye colour and 48g of wax- light blue. Wait for this to set again like in step 4.

Step 6:

Continue this process of tilting the glass the opposite way and pouring the next colour layer in, with purple and pink dyes.

Step 7:

For the very last layer, once the pink wax has set, place the glass onto a flat, even surface. Then pour your last cream layer on top to finish the candle.

After 24 hours, trim the wick to 1/4 inch and enjoy your candle! This would make a beautiful centre piece to match with pastel colours. Why not test this technique out with alternative dye colours?
