A Beautiful Candle for Weddings, Summer Picnics & Everyday Decor
There is something timeless about a candle that looks as beautiful unlit as it does when glowing on a table. This elegant layered design combines crystal-clear gel wax with creamy EcoLux wax to create a sophisticated floating effect that works beautifully for weddings, bridal showers, summer picnics, dinner parties, and everyday décor.
The warm scent of Cocoa Butter Kisses adds a luxurious finishing touch, while the golden EcoLux base creates a soft, candlelit glow even before the wick is lit.
Supplies Needed
- Gel Wax
- EcoLux Wax
- Cocoa Butter Kisses Fragrance Oil
- HTP Wick
- Golden Wax Dye Chips
- Heat Gun (optional)
- Wick Sticker
- Glass Vessel
Step 1: Prepare Your Vessel
Clean and dry your glass vessel thoroughly. Secure your HTP wick in the center using a wick sticker or a small amount of hot glue.
Step 2: Create the Golden EcoLux Base
Melt your EcoLux wax according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Add a small amount of Golden Wax Dye Chips until you achieve a soft champagne-gold colour. Stir thoroughly.
Add Cocoa Butter Kisses fragrance oil at your desired fragrance load and mix well.
Pour the EcoLux wax into the bottom portion of your vessel, filling approximately one-third of the container.
Allow the wax to cool completely before moving on to the next step.
Step 3: Prepare the Gel Wax Layer
Melt your gel wax slowly and carefully to avoid creating excessive bubbles.
Once fully melted, allow it to cool slightly before pouring.
For a crystal-clear appearance, pour slowly over the back of a spoon to minimize disturbance to the EcoLux layer below.
Fill the remainder of the vessel with gel wax.
Step 4: Final Touches
Allow the candle to cool completely.
If needed, use a heat gun briefly to remove minor surface imperfections.
Trim the HTP wick to approximately 1/4 inch before lighting.
