Lavender Vanilla Geometric Candle

With so many fragrances available to scent candles with, it’s hard to choose just one. Rather than agonizing over the perfect scent, I decided to use two! As this Lavender Vanilla Geometric Candle melts, the Vanilla Bean Candle and Soap Fragrance Oil and Lavender Candle and Soap Fragrance Oil will mix together and fill your home with a sweet and earthy scent.

In addition to two fragrances, the candle also has a fun geometric design. The layers are made by pouring EcoSoya Advanced Soy Wax into Tapered Neck Candle Jars that are angled on a stable surface. The purple, white and orange layers go perfectly with the lavender vanilla scent. The design does take a bit of time to achieve, but we think the unique look is totally worth it. This technique is a great way to shake up your normal candle routine.

What You’ll Need:
20 oz. EcoSoya Advanced Soy Wax
Purple (Lavender) Wax Dye Block
Orange Wax Dye Block
1 oz. Vanilla Bean Candle and Soap Fragrance Oil
.5 oz. Lavender Candle and Soap Fragrance Oil
2 Tapered Neck Candle Jars
2 CD-16 Wicks
.5 oz White Beeswax
Optional: Droppers

EQUIPMENT PREP: To get the angled pattern in the candle, the jars will need to be propped on something. We chose a folded towel, but you can use anything that will provide a stable surface. You’ll also need something to hold the wicks in place. We cut slits into two straws. Then, place two spoons in the freezer. These will be used to check the color of the wax later.

ONE: Melt .5 oz. of white beeswax in a heat safe container on 10 second bursts. This will help “glue” the wicks to the candle jars and keep the wicks centered. Using a dropper, place a small amount of beeswax in the center of the jar and press your wick in. Hold for 5 seconds, and repeat with the second jar. Then, push the wicks through the slits in the straws to hold them in place.
Note: We used beeswax to glue the wicks because it is a firm wax with a high melting point. You can use EcoSoya wax, but you will need to pour the first layer at 110 ° F so it won’t melt the wax holding the wicks in place.
TWO: Measure out about 6.6 oz. of EcoSoya Advanced Soy Wax into three heat-safe containers. Put one of the containers in the microwave and melt the wax on 30 second bursts, stirring between each burst. Add .5 oz. of Lavender Candle and Soap Fragrance Oil and stir to fully incorporate.

THREE: Add shavings of the Purple (Lavender) Wax Dye Block until the wax is a rich purple color. To see what color the wax will be when it cools, place one of the frozen spoons in the wax and remove. The wax will instantly harden on the frozen spoon. If you want it darker, add more wax dye block shavings. Learn more about “The Spoon Trick” in this post.

FOUR: Slowly and carefully pour the purple wax into the angled candle jars. Allow to fully cool and harden, which can take anywhere from 1-3 hours.

FIVE: Put a second container of wax in the microwave and melt on 30 second bursts, stirring between each burst. Add .5 oz. of Vanilla Bean Candle and Soap Fragrance Oil and stir to fully combine. This layer will be white, so you won’t need to add any color.

SIX: Check the temperature of the wax. It will need to be 110 ° F or cooler so it won’t melt the first layer. When the wax is at the correct temperature, move the candle jar to the other side of the towel so it is angled the opposite way. Slowly and carefully pour the wax into the jar and allow to fully cool and harden.

SEVEN: Melt the last container of wax in the microwave on 30 second bursts, stirring between each burst. Add .5 oz. of Vanilla Bean Candle and Soap Fragrance Oil and stir to combine. Add shavings of the Orange Wax Dye Block until you get a light orange color. To check the color, place the second frozen spoon in the hot wax. If you want the color darker, add more wax dye block shavings.
EIGHT: When the wax is 110 ° F or cooler, remove the towel and set the candle jar flat on the counter. Slowly pour the orange wax in and let the candle fully cool and harden. When the candle is cool, trim the wicks and allow the candle to cure for 48 hours. This allows the fragrance to set up properly. Enjoy!
