Answer 1

I have made them by getting supplies at a craft store- usually Hobby Lobby. They sell candle wax and also lavender scents, etc for candlemaking. You can make them with old jars which is easiest. Use a double boiler (or a pan of water or electric skillet and another pan for the wax) then as it's melting add fragrance and pour into your holder. you'll need the wick and metal for the bottom (also found in candlemaking area) and use a pencil or something to wrap the wick around while it's hardening (wax). It might take several hours or overnight. HOpe this helps- there are many books out there to search through for ideas also.

Answer 2

Well you need to melt your candle wax first in a double boiler then when the wax is ready to melt you add lavender essential oil in the amount depends on how strong you want it, just go by the scent of your nose you need to make your wick while the wax is heating by useing a metal round holder make the wick 2 inches longer than your glass candle container and tie it on a pencil or something that will go across the top making sure the wick is in center you do your first pour and wait about 8 hours for it to toatlly harden and melt somemore wax and put more essintial oil in it and pour again and repeat the process untill the candle is smooth and doesn't have a "pothole" in the middle of it.

This site will give you the step by step instructions for making several kinds of candles. As for your lavender, have you thought of making sachets out of what you have? I think they would make lovely gifts. Better Homes and Garden's web site has instructions on how to make the sachets.

Answer 5

buy 3 packs of cheap candles . (white ones) break 'em into pieces (Small pieces so that they melt more easily) you can use a potato peeler choose your mold . example: the bottom of a milk / orange juice box.

grab a stove, place a pan with boiling water in it. then, put inside the pan a smaller pot ( without boiling water) inside the small pot, place your candle pieces. add "fragance" (that's its name) that smells to lavender. you can buy this where they sell inciense. if you want to add color (necessary) add a couple of drops of oil paint. (purple)

add your hot wax into the mold, with its "mecha" ( string in which you put fire) propperly attached to the bottom of your mold..........and wait until it cools off. peel off the mold and.......................ta da!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mix the dried lavendar into wax as you melt it, pour candle into mold with the wick in it, wait till it cools, keep filling the depression that happens when it cools till there is no more depression. enjoy.
