When the wax is completely melted and reached 180 degrees, add your color and/or fragrance oil. I used a wax "chip" - it took one chip for each pound of wax, and I used about 1 oz. of fragrance oil per pound of wax.

Stir in both the color and fragrance well.

Let the wax cool down to about 150-160 degrees.
