- Maintaining a temperature of about 200 degrees Fahrenheit until the gel is smooth.
- Add the liquid colour dye and 1/4tsp of fragrance oil into the hot gel wax.

- Dip the embeds in hot gel before pouring them down into the container. If you want your embeds at the bottom of the container you can arrange them in the container itself before pouring down the gel.
- Preheat the glass container to about 150-160 degrees Fahrenheit to reduce the appearance of bubbles.
- Now pour the gel into the container from the side to prevent bubbles.
- Pull the wick up and position it in the center.
- Let the candle cool for 4-5 hours.

Precautions:
