Method 2: Melting the Wax

Measure out your wax flakes. You want to have two times the amount of wax flakes than your jars' ounces. For example, an 8 oz jar will need 16 oz. of wax flakes. Use a heat-resistant glass measuring cup with a handle, such as a Pyrex cup, to measure and then later melt the flakes.

When choosing wax flakes, soy based wax burns longer than paraffin and some people prefer it as a natural ingredient.Make sure that you buy wicks that are meant for soy candles if you choose to use soy instead of paraffin wax.
