Directions
- Melt the wax using a double boiler method to avoid burning your wax.
- Bring the melted wax to about 175°F, then remove from the heat and let it settle to 150°F.
- While the wax settles, using a hot glue gun adhere the base of the wick to the center bottom of the empty Bonne Maman jar.
