~ to wipe the glasses without leaving a single drop of water,
~ make sure the wicks stick steadily on the middle of the glasses,
~ use chopsticks to hold the wick so it will stand straight up when pouring the wax,
~ select natural scent oil and drip 15 drops into the soy wax,
~ stir to make sure wax and essential oil blended well,
~ slowly pour the wax into the glass.

My first candle with Lime Basil & Mandarin scent
(라임바질 & 만다린), and second candle with 
White Musk + Jasmine (화이트 머스크 + 자스민).

It takes 2 hours for the wax to cool down and solidly harden.  | www.meheartseoul.blogspot.com   Holly Go Natural Scented Candle class | www.meheartseoul.blogspot.com
We didn't bring back our candle because it need to be stationed for 
about 2 hours for the wax to cool down and solidly harden.
