Allow the wax to dry completely before repeat on the remaining sides of the mason jar.

Once all the dried lavender is in place, stand the mason jar upright.

Apply some melted wax to the bottom of the mason jar and place the candle wick inside.

Wrap the long end of the wick around a skewer and rest the skewer across the top of the jar.

Add 4 drops of flower and spice essential oil to the melted wax and stir.
