Gel Container Candles

Gel candles give a different look then wax candles and can provide a nice glow through the gel as they burn.

Ingredients:
Candle Gel
Pre-tabbed Wicks (make sure they burn in gel)
Scent
Glass Jar
Burning Instruction Labels
Wick Bar
Wick Tape
Melting Pot
Thermometer

Step 1

Prepare your work area and gather your materials. Place your gel into an electric melting pot or melting pot on the stove burner on med/low heat.

Step 2

Heat gel to 230 degrees Fahrenheit and keep it at this temperature until the gel appears as a clear liquid. Place your burning instruction label on the bottom of the jar. Place the wick tape on the bottom of the wick and then center and place the wick into the jar, secure wick into the wick bar so it is centered in the jar.

Step 3

Add your fragrance (no more thean 1/2 ounce per lb. of gel) and stir well with a metal or plastic spoon. Keep stirring and when you think you have stired well enough, stir some more to ensure that the fragrance is blended with the gel properly. Allow the gel to cool to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 4

Pour the gel into your pre-wicked jar when the gel’s temperature is between 180 F to 200 F. Allow your candle to cool for at least a day before burning.

Enjoy!
