Other Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need: Mixing Spoon, Scale, Stovertop, Pot (for double boiler), Pouring Pot (sold separately), Thermometer
Directions:
- Prepare your red mini cubes. Weigh out 180 grams of the Pillar of Bliss. Also, add a small amount of the red color block (less than 1 gram). Melt the wax in your double boiler to 195F. Stir occasionally as the wax is melting.
- Drop the temperature to 180F. Add 18 grams Christmas Spruce Fragrance Oil. Stir.
- Drop the temperature to 175F. Use a pipette to fill the many mini cubes mold. Allow to set up before removing from the mold. Set aside. Note: Alternatively, you can pour the wax into the mold. However, it is very easy to overflow the mold, so we recommend placing the mold on a pan dedicated to candle making to protect your surface if you go this route.
- Prepare your green mini cubes. Weigh out 180 grams of the Pillar of Bliss. Also, add a small amount of the lime green color block (less than 1 gram). Melt the wax in your double boiler to 195F. Stir occasionally as the wax is melting.
- Drop the temperature to 180F. Add 18 grams Christmas Spruce Fragrance Oil. Stir.
- Drop the temperature to 175F. Use a pipette to fill the many mini cubes mold. Allow to set up before removing from the mold. Set aside.
- Place your clamshell containers in front of you. Fill each mold with both red and green cubes. Set aside.
- Weigh out and melt 270 grams of Pillar of Bliss Candle Wax to 195F using your double boiler.Â
- Allow the temperature to drop to 180F. Add 27 grams of the Christmas Spruce Fragrance Oil. Stir.
- Let the temperature drop to 150F. Fill the clamshell containers. Allow the wax to set up.
