In reply to Michelle Cyprian. I order mine off Amazon but most natural food stores or even Whole Foods will carry.

In reply to Dannielle. You can use colored mica. It's non toxic, but messy.

If I want to do multiple smells in “one batch” can I put the essential oils into each jar individually? I am wanting to do this with a group activity and want each person to be able to pick their scent. Thanks!

In reply to Sara. Hey Sara, So when I make candles, I measure out 5 lbs of dried wax (80 oz). Melted, that makes 7, 16-oz candles and usually 2 tea lights from the tiny bit of melted leftover wax. You didn’t mention how many ounces your candles would be. But if they are 16 oz, then another 40 oz of wax, would give you 3.5 more candles, ending up with 10, 16-oz candles and 1, 8-oz (maybe for yourself!). Hope that helps. Candle math seems extra hard to me, but I manage!
