These striped candles were easy and I’m quite pleased with the pretty results.  It does require some patience though because if you don’t wait long enough for one layer to harden, the colors will seep together.

Mason jars work well for container candles and it only costs about $7 for 12 of them. Container soy wax is what I used to create soft creamy colored wax that is easy to clean. The first layer is scented with Cappuccino, second fresh cut flowers and third cherry. Strange combo I know but that’s what I felt like doing.

A wick stickum thing (double sided round sticker) helped hold the tab and wick down. The wick is thick so it stayed straight on its own. I purchased the candle making supplies from Village Craft and Candle . They have so many wonderful waxes, molds and project ideas that it gets quite addicting.
