• Prepare your candle container. Center your candle wick (I prefer medium lead free wire candle wicking) into your glass container. Let a drop or two of your scent roll down the wick from top to bottom.
• Melt the candle wax in the double boiler or tin can in a pan of water, on your stove top over a medium high heat, add pieces of your crayon and stir into the candle wax - note the color will intensify as the wax cools. Remove the melted wax from heat and allow to cool slightly - about 1 minute, then add your scent 6 to 9 drops to your preference.
• Pour your wax into prepared container. Reserve some of the wax - as your candle cools it will shrink away from the center around the wick - when it is cold you will want to reheat the reserved wax and pour into the depression around the wick to even out your candle top. Allow to cool.
