Step 1 - Measure out the wax. The amount of wax required should be weighed out. You can make about eight votive candles per pound of wax.
Similarly, you may ask, how much wax do I need to make a mason jar candle?
Heat the wax to about 170 to 180°F (77 to 83°C). Stir the wax often as it heats to help it melt evenly. Do not leave the wax unattended at this time, as hot wax is flammable. You will need about 1 pound (455 grams) of wax for a pint (475-milliliter) sized mason jar.
Similarly, how much does candle wax cost?
We'll need to divide that figure by our 135 candles to get our per candle cost of $0.82. And that's it! When we add each item up, we get a total variable cost of $2.99 for each candle.
It may not be a raging fire, but a group of candles in Mason jars can add delightful charm to a summer evening! The jars are heat resistant so they're safe with the flame — and the flame won't get extinguished by the wind.
