How to Make an Oil Burning Candle
- 1). Cut the flexible wire so that it is two times the length of the mason jar.
- 2). Shape one end of the wire into a long hook.
- 3). Wrap the other end of the wire around the nail to make a coil one to two inches high. Remove the nail once the coil is fashioned.
- 4). Cut a 30-40 cm. wick, then stuff the wick into the wire coil. Make sure to leave one-quarter inch of the wick outside of the coil, then carefully pinch the top of the coil to hold the exposed wick.
- 5). Place the wire coil-end at the bottom of the jar, with the previously fashioned hook over the top of the jar.
- 6). Pour olive oil into the jar until the level of oil is just under the exposed wick.
- 7). Allow the candle to rest for five minutes or so to let the oil soak into the wick.
- 8). Light the candle by pulling the hook up and igniting the wick, then lowering the wick back into the jar, again using the hook.
