How to Make Triple Scented Candles
Triple scented candles are more fragrant than regular candles. These types of candles permeate the room more quickly. Although a tripled scented candle is made like a regular candle, it requires higher quality material for the candle to give off a triple scent effect.
Supplies needed:
- Double boiler
- Paraffin Wax
- Fragrance oil
- Candle mold/wick
- Wooden paint stirrer
- Liquid dye
- Vybar
- Place the double boiler on the stove. Fill it halfway with water. Place a smaller pot on the double boiler.
- Melt the Paraffin wax on medium heat until completely melted. After it has melted, turn the heat down to low.
- Add the liquid dye to the wax. Stir it until it is even distributed using the wooden paint stirrer.
- Add the fragrance oil. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the amount of oil needed. However, for a triple scented candle, use three times the amount. If the instructions say add one ounce of oil for every pound of wax, you would use three ounces for every pound to achieve a tripled scented candle.
- Use a half of teaspoon of Vybar for every pound of wax. Vybar is an additive that allows the wax to hold the extra scent. There are some wax blends that can be bought to eliminate adding Vybar.
- Place the wick into the candle mold. Fill the mold with wax until it nearly reaches the top.
- Let the candle cool. Once the candle has cooled, melt some more wax to fill the sink holes that have formed in the center of the candle.
- Fill the sink hole and let the candle cool.
