Beeswax Candles in a Jar

Learning how to make your own candles not only saves you some cash, it allows you to know exactly what you are burning in your home. Instead of chemical-filled candles, these Beeswax Candles in a Jar are all natural and smell fantastic. Customizable and crazy simple these candles can be poured into dollar store containers and Mason Jars. Including just 2 ingredients (beeswax and essential oils) this tutorial is the minimalist’s answer to aromatherapy. They make great DIY gifts, as well!

Hint: These DIY candles are naturally an off-white color. If you want to add some color to the mix, consider adding food coloring or natural dyes to keep them looking as lovely as they smell.
