Receta de velas de piñas de pino

Prepare your work area by gathering the ProBlend 650 Candle Wax, Frosted Cypress & Mint Fragrance Oil, Brown Liquid Candle Dye, Silicone Pinecone Mold, six CD 6 wicks, Pouring Pot, digital scale, thermometer, skewer, and stirring utensils.

Prepare the Silicone Pinecone Molds. Use a skewer to poke a hole in the bottom center of each mold. Thread one CD 6 wick in each mold, keeping each wick centered and secure.

Weigh 12 ounces of ProBlend 650 Candle Wax into the Black Mini Pouring Pot. Heat the wax to 185°F, stirring as needed, until completely melted.

Leave the first 4-ounce portion uncolored. For the light tan portion, dip the tip of a toothpick into the Brown Liquid Candle Dye, then dip the toothpick into the wax and stir. Add only a tiny amount at a time until a very light tan shade is reached. For the dark brown portion, add approximately 3 drops of Brown Liquid Candle Dye and stir until evenly dispersed.

When each wax portion cools to 170–175°F, add 0.4 ounce of Frosted Cypress & Mint Fragrance Oil to each 4-ounce portion. Stir slowly and thoroughly until the fragrance is fully incorporated.

Allow each portion to cool to 160–165°F. Carefully pour the wax into the prepared Silicone Pinecone Molds, making two pinecone candles in each color: uncolored, light tan, and dark brown.

Allow the candles to cool and harden completely before gently removing them from the mold. Trim each CD 6 wick to approximately 1/4 inch before use.
