Materials
- Soy wax flakes
- Candle wax pitcher
- Candle wicks
- 170 ml glass jars
- Candle wax colorant (yellow or in any color of your choice)
- Pineapple fragrance oil (or any of your choice)
- Black paint
- Green paint
- Paintbrush
- Green felt
- Hot glue gun
Procedure
- To make the DIY pineapple-scented candles, first use a drop of hot glue to attach the candle wicks to the center of the bottom of the glass jars.
- Then, in the candle pitcher, over low-medium heat, melt four cups of soy wax flakes, stirring frequently.
- Now, add three blocks of yellow wax colorant, mixing it in with 20-30 drops of pineapple fragrance oil (depending on how mild or strong you like your scented candles). Stir it all together.
- Then, carefully pour the hot wax into the candle jars. Make sure to allow the jars to sit undisturbed until the wax is completely cool.
- While the candles are cooling, paint the lids of the jars green and make the felt tops. For this, cut a green felt in a zig-zag fashion.
- Now, simply roll the sheet to resemble the pineapple leaves.
- Lastly, use the hot glue gun to attach the felt toppers to the jar caps.
