How to Make a Candy Corn Candles Directions:

● Place six (6) yellow wax cubes into a glass measuring cup.

● Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted.
● Dip the bottom of your candle wick into your melted yellow wax and quickly attach it to the bottom center of your glass jar.
● Allow to harden in place.
● Pour the melted yellow wax into your glass jar, making certain your wick is sticking straight up in the middle.
● Note: to hold the candlewick in place easily, wrap the top around a pencil or chopstick and allow the pencil to rest on the top of your jar. Remove the pencil after the first melted wax pour (or you can leave it until the end).

● Transfer your candle jar carefully to the freezer for approximately 20-30 minutes or until hardened.

● Place four (4) orange wax cubes into a glass measuring cup.
● Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted.

● Pour melted orange wax over the hardened yellow wax.
● Carefully transfer your candle jar to the freezer for about 20 to 30 minutes or until hardened.

● Add the soy wax flakes to a glass measuring cup.
● Heat in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
● Add in ½ teaspoon of vanilla candle scent. This is an optional step if you are using the wax candle cubes – they already have scent. If you dyed your soy candle wax, this is necessary (and could be added at every step of melted candle wax.)
● Pour your melted soy wax over your hardened orange candle wax, leaving about 1″ of empty space (head room) at the top of the glass
● Carefully transfer your candy corn candle to the freezer and freeze for 20-30 minutes, or until hardened.
● Trim your candle wick before lighting.
