These super cute Easter bunny jar candles made of natural wax are the perfect DIY idea for the Easter season!
Easter Bunny in a jar
You'll need
- Rapeseed wax 5761 for the bunny ears
- Soywax C-3, C-310 or C-1
- BWR wick with base
- Wax sticker
- If you like: candle color brown or beige
- Additionally: jars (you can also use our candle tins), bunny silicone mold, sharpie and everything you need for the water bath
1. Rapeseed wax
Melt the rapeseed wax at about 80°C in a water bath.
2. Prepare the glass/jar
While the rapeseed wax is melting, you can draw the desired motif on a sheet of paper and then put it into the glass to trace it with a sharpie. We went for a bunny face and the words "Happy Easter" in German.
Then attach the BWR wick to the bottom of the jar with the wax adhesive plates. Make sure you don't clog the wick at the bottom, just work with the edge of the wick base.
Then place the silicone mold and jars upside down on the heater to warm them.
3. Bunny Ears
When the rapeseed wax has melted, let it cool a bit (to about 60°C). Then pour into the silicone mold so that the ears are filled. Let the whole thing cool and harden at toom temperature.
4. Soywax
While the ears are hardening, melt the soy wax in a water bath at about 80°C. If you like, you can add color or fragrance. Always make sure to color the wax before adding fragrance if you want both.
When the wax is completely liquid, let it cool to about 60°C. Then pour it slowly into the preheated glass jar. While doing this, still leave enough room for the ears, so don't fill it up to the top. Also, leave a little soy wax for later. Center the BWR wick with a wick holder and let the glass candle cool off.
5. Place the Bunny Ears
Once the ears are hardened, you can carefully unmold them. When the soy wax has hardened, you can melt the surface with a heat gun and pour a little bit of wax.
When the wax starts to lose its transparency, place the ears with the wick in the center. You'll probably have to hold them a while to make sure they're secure.
Then all you have to do is wait and your Easter Bunny candles in a jar are ready!
