I would think at this point (the beginning) you need to research wicks just a bit....That HTP isn't gonna work in the 16 oz apothecary (imo)......So figure out which wicks you want to try, and buy a sampler pack (several different sizes) and begin! It's almost as easy as that. Wicking is going to be the most difficult. I can tell you that the 16 oz apothecary is probably going to need to be double wicked. After you decide on wicks, do a search for the type you have decided on for a starting point....If you believe the HTP will work in the smaller jar you have, melt your wax, add your fragrance and go for it! You have to just jump in - then test it to see if that wick will work with your wax, jar and fragrance....Have you read what types of supplies you need? Like thermometer, scale, something (glue, wick stickums, or??) to hold your wick to the bottom of the container, something to keep your wick centered as the wax hardens, either presto pot or double boiler method to melt your wax, and I'm sure there is more I am not thinking of now.Keep good notes as it will make it easier for you to perfect your candle.HTH - have fun!
