Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare your red mini cubes. Weigh out 180 grams of the Pillar of Bliss. Also, add a small amount of the red color block (less than 1 gram). Melt the wax in your double boiler to 195F. Stir occasionally as the wax is melting.

Step 2

2. Drop the temperature to 180F. Add 18 grams Christmas Spruce Fragrance Oil. Stir.

Step 3

3. Drop the temperature to 175F. Use a pipette to fill the many mini cubes mold. Allow to set up before removing from the mold. Set aside. Note: Alternatively, you can pour the wax into the mold. However, it is very easy to overflow the mold, so we recommend placing the mold on a pan dedicated to candle making to protect your surface if you go this route.
