1. Other Ingredients & Equipment You'll Need:

2. Scale

3. Mixing Spoons

4. Knife

5. Pot (For Double Boiler)

6. 9 x 13 pan (lined with wax paper)

7. Step 1: Weigh out 1,425 grams of the Pillar of Bliss. Using a double boiler, melt the wax. Add 142 grams of the Breezes and Sunshine Fragrance Oil. Stir.

8. Step 2: Prepare your candle molds. This recipe will create three candles. Prepare three of the pillar molds by placing your wicks and rubber plugs to seal the holes.

9. Step 3: Once the temperature has dropped to 175F, fill each mold full with your melted wax. Keep the remaining wax for your second pour. Allow the candles to set up at room temperature. The wax will naturally sink in the middle. Poke your relief holes. Then, heat the remaining 1/4 of your wax to 165 degrees, and top off your candles in order to fill in the sink holes. Allow candles to cool at room temperature. Once set up, remove the candles from the molds.

10. Step 4: Use the color guide below to prepare each colored wax. Begin with the first color. Melt 57 grams of the Pillar of Bliss Candle Wax to 195F. Add the first Nature Friendly Liquid Candle Dye. Stir. When the temperature drops to 180F, add 6 grams of the Breezes and Sunshine Fragrance Oil. Stir. Allow the wax to cool to a slushy type state. Use a pipette to drizzle the wax over of the candle. Once you are happy with the drizzles, move to the next color. Repeat this process until you have used all of the colors.

11. Color 1: 2 drops Yellow Nature Friendly Liquid Candle Dye

12. Color 2: 3 drops Orange Nature Friendly Liquid Candle Dye

13. Color 3: 4 drops Red Nature Friendly Liquid Candle Dye

14. Color 4: 2 drops Magenta Nature Friendly Liquid Candle Dye

15. Color 5: 2 drops Violet Nature Friendly Liquid Candle Dye

16. Color 6: 3 drops Blue Nature Friendly Liquid Candle Dye

17. Color 7: 10 drops Sea Green Nature Friendly Liquid Candle Dye

18. Color 8: 2 drops Melon Nature Friendly Liquid Candle Dye

19. Step 5: Once the wax has completely set up, simply trim the wicks.

20. Once cured, your rainbow candles are ready to use!
