Step One: Vegetable Shortening and a Microwave
Fill your jar to the top with vegetable shortening. Next, stick the jar in the microwave for two minutes. This will melt the shortening into the texture that is shown in the nearby image.
If you want the candle to have a specific color, you can melt crayons in a separate container and then pour the melted residue into your liquid shortening and stir. To obtain the seasonal look in the images, use two dark green crayons, along with one light green and one yellow. After which, you can add a tablespoon of the scented essential oil of your choice in order to produce a fragrant candle. For example, pine scented essential oil provides a nice holiday ambiance that smells like a pine tree.
