Make Layered Container Candles

Figure out how much total wax you're going to need for all of the candles, and divide it by the number of layers you're making. I needed about 24 oz. of wax to make three jar candles - in three layers - made for 8 oz. of wax in each layer.

If you need to figure out just how much wax you'll need for your particular container, use this Handy Container Calculator.

Put the first 1/3 of the wax into your melt pot and heat it to about 180 degrees.
