- In your pouring pot, weigh out 24 oz. of gel wax.
- Melt the wax directly on your burner until it is in a fluid state.
- Add 0.72 oz. a gel safe fragrance oil.
- Pour the wax into a basic rectangle mold and allow to set up. If you do not have a mold, you can leave the wax unscented, skipping steps 1-3, and simply cut the wax into cubes.
- Prepare your tumbler jars by adhering a wick to each glass. We used 51-32-18z wicks.
- Add some of the ice cubes to the jar, filling it completely. Some of the cubes should be placed so that they will stick out of the top of the jar.
- Weigh out and melt 12 oz. of Gel Wax.
- Add 2 drops of the brown candle dye and 0.36 oz. of your fragrance oil.
- Pour about 3 oz of the wax into each jar. The amount you add can very and is dependent on the amount of ice cubes in each jar.
- Trim the wick to 1/4” and place a warning label on the bottom of the glass.
