Thanks TallTayl!

I had some leftover wax blend, so I'm trying doubled EO in 2 glass votives.  My wicks may be a bit big...we will see!

I have also been looking for Essential Oil fragrance ratio advice.  I usually make Massage Candles, cosmetic grade soy wax, coconut oil etc...& essential oils for fragrance.

BUT for the holidays, I decided to use the white beeswax that was mistakenly sent to me with coconut oil & a fragrance mix I made with EOs to make the MANY candles our family burns on Christmas eve & Christmas day.

I made the base wax/oil first & stored in mason jars until I had the time to get the production line going (today!)

I made a test candle with the ratio of 1 oz EO to 16 oz Wax/Oil blend (by weight) last week.

It burned well with a hint of the fragrance.  For one candle, I would definitely double the EOs, but since I know we will be burning 20+ candles in a small space,

I am keeping this ratio for this purpose.

These are all poured into containers (mostly pretty colored glass votives between 4-6 ozs)

I am also experimenting with 2 triple wick candles in bowls from the dollar store that fit inside deep, beautiful glass decor bowls that will GLOW when a candle burns inside. 

Last year, all those cheap tealights gave me SUCH a headache! I told my mom I would make beeswax this year & improve the air in the house instead of polluting it!
