Christmas Tree 6oz Candle in a ResinCrete Jar
This is a beautiful homemade and hand poured 6oz Christmas Tree scented candle with a wood wick. The ResinCrete jar is also handmade and reusable!
ResinCrete is a new (new to me at least) development by JDiction. It’s an eco friendly and natural “resin” and feels like porcelain or ceramic. And unlike normal epoxy resin, is safe to use for candles; since it does not give off toxic fumes when heated like epoxy resin does.
After making and demolding the ResinCrete jar, I give it time to “cure.” Then it gets waxed; I use Howard’s food safe wax-it-all, but any wax would do, I just wanted a food safe wax in case you decide to reuse the vessel for something food related. I add the wood wick to the jar using a wick sticker. Then I melted 6oz of my all natural and organic soy container wax, add either 1/2oz of fragrance oil or a little over 1/4oz of essential oil (depending on the scent). And pour it in the jar.
Before burning the candle, please make sure it’s on a heat resistant surface, only burn for a few hours at a time, and cut the wick down between uses and get rid of any debris. If you start to smell burning, the wick is probably too long, blow out the candle, let it cool completely, cut down the wick and try again.
To reuse this ResinCrete jar, once you have used the candle to its fullest, just pour boiling water in to the jar, let it sit a second, dump the water out, outside (could clog the drain), then immediately wipe out with a paper towel. Repeat as necessary, then wash with soap and water. After some use, it may need another coat of wax.
Ingredients: all natural organic container soy wax, pine needle essential oil, and a wood wick.
*All containers vary in design as they are handmade.
