Description

A fun and easy DIY sprinkle candle that makes the perfect birthday gift.

Ingredients

Scale

3 glass jars of choice
50 g white granulated sugar
50 ml water
600 g soy wax (3 cups)
sugar sprinkles of choice
3 or more candle wicks*
wooden skewers

Instructions

Before starting, make sure your upcycled jars are clean and dry.
To make the sugar sirup, combine the sugar and water in a pot and cook on medium cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Do not bring your mixture to a boil.
Let the sirup cool completely. (You can quicken the process by transferring it to a bowl and then letting it cool in the fridge.)
Melt the wax over a double boiler (see detailed explanation in the text above), remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly while prepping your jars.
With a brush, add a layer of sirup to the inside of the jars, leaving out the bottom. Add the sprinkles.
Fasten the candle wicks to the bottom of the candle jars. Keep them in place using wooden toothpicks or skewers (depending on the width of your jars). Place 2 skewers around the wick and fasten them together with tape.
Carefully pour in the melted wax and let it harden for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight.
Once they have completely solidified, trim the wicks.

Notes

*Depending on the width of your jars, you may want to add 2-3 wicks per jar as soy wax has a very high melting point.

I do not recommend using double walled jars as the sugar syrup coating will be a lot more visible.
