You can buy the soy pellets online from a candle making company--get a good mold--usually a straight sided glass jar will do--spray the inside with pam or another non-stick spray--melt the soy pellets either on the stove or in the microwave--slowly--and stir in between timings--do not over heat--if you see steam or smoke, it is too hot...allow to cool but still liquid and then slowly drop by drop and stir the aromatherapy scent you want to use--do not breathe in the smell while stirring and keep your face well away--if the wax is too hot, you can light the oils on fire-as they are volatile...

once the wax is mixed with the oils--attach the wick to the bottom of the glass jar with a small piece of tape or a drop of the wax--pull the wick straight and pour the wax slowly into the jar to the desired level and immediately pull the wick up straight--and wrap the end around a chopstick and lay that accross the top of the jar--allow the candle to set--usually for about 30 minutes at room temperature and then into the fridge to really heal it...

if you want to use the candle in the jar, you can-or you can pop it out--but you can only do that with a straight sided jar with no lip--dip in very warm water and pull gently on the wick--the candle should pop right out...

best of luck!

you can get the oils from companies like edens garden and aura cacia--some are even available at the health food store...
