Ebony & Ivory Candle Co.
We've had a lot of people ask us how they can reuse their empty candle jars. And here's how you can do just that! These refill kits give you everything you need to refill your candle jars or to make a diy candle of your own in any heat tempered glass vessel!
Available in 8oz & 16oz size!
Each kit includes: scented candle wax, wick centering device, alcohol cleansing wipe, glue dots for wick, cotton wick(s), burn label!
YOU WILL NEED- A heat safe dish, a microwave (or stove to melt wax). If you want to use the stove, pour your wax cubes into a pyrex dish and place that dish in a pot of boiling water (like a double boiler) and melt your wax this way.
DIRECTIONS for 8oz candle:
1)Prepare your jar first. For an 8 oz candle, a jar between 2.95"-3.29" in diameter is ideal.
2)Wash out your jar with hot water and wipe the base with the provided alcohol cleansing wipe to remove any excess residue.
3) Take your glue dot and attach to the base of your wick, then with the other exposed sticky side on your wick, stick to the center of the base of your candle vessel.
4) Pour your scented wax cubes into a heat safe container. Microwave your wax in 30 second intervals, stirring inbetween, until all of your wax is evenly melted. DO NOT OVER COOK.
5) Carefully pour your melted wax into your vessel
6) Feed your wick through the wooden wick centering device and rest on the top of the vessel so that your wick stays in the center while cooling.
7) Allow your candle to cure for 24 hours
8) Remove your wick centering device and with scissors, trim your wick to 1/4"
9) Turn your vessel upside down and place the burn label on the bottom
10) Enjoy!
