Oven Beeswax Candles
Making beeswax candles in the oven means you have zero cleanup to do after!
Equipment
- Glass jars (I used wide mouth canning jars. But any oven proof glass container will work.)
- Beeswax (big, big fan of beeswax pastilles – much easier to use than chopping up a big block of beeswax)
- Wicks
- Baking sheet
- Oven
Instructions
- Place the wicks in the jar and fill with beeswax. If you’re totally lazy, don’t even bother gluing down the wick. Add more beeswax than you think you need – go all the way to the top. Once the wax melts it will fill in all of the tiny air spaces, and it won’t end up as full.
- Heat oven to 200 degree F. Place the jars on a cookie sheet and stick them in the oven. You can fit about 9 candles on one sheet pan.
- Remove candles when all of the wax has melted. This may take 45 minutes to an hour.
- Position wick upright if needed by rolling the end around a pencil. Let cool until wax has hardened. Then trim the wick.
