Step 1: We need to prepare ingredients including:
Beeswax (500g pellets) Candles
Coconut oil (¼ cup) Glass jar
Stirring stick
Step 2: Put beeswax beads in a glass jar. Boil the water until the wax beads dissolve. Stir well to avoid burning the beeswax.
Step 3: After melting the beeswax, turn off the stove and then add coconut oil and mix well (Mixing beeswax with coconut oil helps maintain a more stable burning candle).
