This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Glue Dots and DecoArt.  I received product for this post.  All ideas and opinions are 100% my own.

Last week I had a couple of friends over to my house to hangout and get to know one another.  I thought it would be a nice idea to make them a little gift to show them my appreciation for coming over.  For these DIY Eucalyptus & Thyme Soy Candle I recycled glass yogurt containers and made my own candle recipe using natural soy wax and essential oils.  This candle recipe will make two candles and they smell so amazing!

Supplies (affiliate links):

• 2 glass yogurt containers
• 3 cups natural soy wax
• candle wick
• candle wick glue dots
• Eucalyptus essential oil
• Thyme essential oil
• scissors
• printable label (download below)
• kraft brown sticker paper
• 2 inch circle punch

Instructions:

Start by applying one glue dot to the metal tab on the candle wick, then place the tab in the bottom center of a glass jar.  I used a new clamping method with two popsicle sticks and a clothespin.  This is the best way I have found to hold the wick in place.  Set aside.

This was my first time using the glue dots and I was very pleased how easy they were to use and how they held the wicks in place.

Place 3 cups of natural soy wax flakes into a heat resistant bowl.  Using the double boiler method, melt the wax until completely dissolved into a liquid.  I added 20 drops of eucalyptus essential oil and 15 drops of thyme essential oil to the melted wax.  You can add desired amount of oils.

Pour the scented liquid candle wax into the prepared jars.  Set aside and let harden.  The candle wax will change to a white color once it is completely set and hardened. Trim the wick by cutting it with a pair of scissors.

I made simple label for your candle.  This would make a great all-occasion gift for someone special.  I really like how the kraft brown sticker labels look on these jars.  I used a 2 inch circle punch to cut the labels.
