Step 1: Prepare Eco-Powder
Mix three parts Eco-Powder with one part water in a container. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
Step 2: Pour Into Mold
Carefully pour the Eco-Powder mixture into the mold, filling it nearly to the top but leaving a slight edge. Gently tap the sides of the mold to eliminate any air bubbles. Allow it to sit for about an hour.
Step 3: Demold
Gently work your way around the edges of the mold, pulling the sides to release your container. The container should come out easily without sticking. You can use it as a simple container or proceed to make a candle. For this tutorial, we'll be making a candle.
Step 4: Seal (For Candle Use Only)
Apply Matte Sealer to the inside of the container using an artist brush. This step is essential if you plan to use it as a candle.
Step 5: Melt Wax
Melt organic beeswax and essential oils in a double boiler until fully liquid.
Step 6: Prepare Wick
Insert the wood wick into the metal clip, then place it at the bottom of the container.
Step 7: Pour Wax
Carefully pour the melted beeswax into the container, ensuring the wick stays centered.
Step 8: Final Touches
Once the wax has fully set, trim the wood wick to your desired length using scissors. Enjoy your chic, elegant, and versatile fluted container or modern vase candle, perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to any space or gifting to loved ones!
