How do you know how many drops in each 8 oz jar?

You can use colored mica. It’s non toxic, but messy.

I am wanting to do this with a group activity and want each person to be able to pick their scent. Thanks!

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!

It is much easier to use a measuring tool for essential oils and there are approximately 20 drops in 1 milliliter.
I love making candles myself and really enjoy the process. I buy everything from this store that I found online
(https://www.eroma.com.au/) and the whole process is much easier.
