Steps for Making Container Candles

    * Use a double boiler to liquefy the container wax at about 175 degrees Fahrenheit.
    * Add fragrant oil and coloring dye in the melting wax and stir well.
    * In the meantime, add a drop of hot glue at the end of the wick and attach it to the center of the glass container.
    * Take the other end of the wick and tie it on a pencil to keep it straight.
    * Then, heat the container by placing it in the oven at about 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
    * Pour the melted wax gently from the side of the container, until you fill it up to the desired height.
    * Leave the container candle for cooling, which may take about 5-6 hours.
    * Cut the excess wick off and enjoy your container candles.
