Instructions

    • 1

      Pick a transparent glass container that can endure high temperatures without cracking. This will hold the candle.

    • 2

      Pour hot glue into the bottom of the glass container, filling it evenly at the bottom so it covers the surface area.

    • 3

      Push the zinc candlewick and tab into the middle of the glue at the bottom of the glass, allowing it to settle and cool.

    • 4

      Place gel wax cubes into a pot on the stove. You should have enough cubes that, when they're melted, they fill three-quarters of the glass. For many smaller glasses, the cubes should be measured to about 2 cups. Discard any extra, if necessary.

    • 5

      Turn the stove on to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat the gel until it becomes a syrupy liquid.

    • 6

      Add a one-half ounce of potpourri liquid to the gel.

    • 7

      Warm the candle container to 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Place on a level surface.

    • 8

      Pour the potpourri and gel mixture into the glass container. Avoid pouring onto the wick.

    • 9

      Straighten the wick. Allow the candle to settle for four hours before using.
