Making coffee-scented candles can add a cozy and inviting aroma to your space. Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to create coffee-scented candles:

Materials you'll need:

Candle wax flakes (soy wax or a blend recommended for container candles)
Candle wicks
Double boiler or a heat-safe container and a pot
Thermometer
Coffee-scented fragrance oil or coffee essential oil
Candle dye or color blocks (optional)
Heat-resistant container or candle jars
Wick stickers or hot glue gun (if using a container)
Coffee beans (for decoration)
Step 1: Prepare the container or jars
Clean the container or candle jars thoroughly and make sure they are dry and heat-resistant. Attach the wick to the bottom of the container using a wick sticker or a small amount of hot glue. Ensure the wick is centered in the container.

Step 2: Melt the wax
Fill a double boiler with water and place it on the stove over medium heat. Add the wax flakes to the top pot or a heat-safe container. Stir occasionally and use a thermometer to monitor the wax temperature. Heat the wax until it reaches the recommended melting point for the specific type of wax you're using.

Step 3: Add fragrance and color (optional)
Once the wax has melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Add the coffee-scented fragrance oil or coffee essential oil to the melted wax. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the recommended amount of fragrance per pound or kilogram of wax. If desired, add a small amount of candle dye or color blocks to achieve the desired color. Stir the mixture well to ensure the fragrance and color are evenly distributed.

Step 4: Pour the wax into the containers or jars
Carefully pour the scented wax into the prepared containers or jars. Fill them to the desired level, leaving some space at the top for expansion. Hold the wick upright to keep it centered as you pour the wax. If needed, use a wick holder or pencil to keep the wick in place.

Step 5: Decorate with coffee beans
While the wax is still partially melted and soft, gently place a few coffee beans on the surface of each candle. Press them lightly into the wax, arranging them in a visually pleasing way. Be sure to leave enough space around the wick for safe burning.

Step 6: Allow the candles to cool and set
Let the candles cool and solidify completely. This typically takes a few hours, but it may vary depending on the size of the candles. Avoid moving or disturbing the candles during this time to ensure they set properly.

Step 7: Trim the wicks
Once the candles have hardened, trim the wicks to about 1/4 inch protruding from the candle's surface. This will promote a clean and even burn when you light the candles.

Step 8: Enjoy your coffee-scented candles!
Your coffee-scented candles are now ready to be enjoyed. Place them on a heat-resistant surface and light them to fill the room with the comforting aroma of coffee. The coffee beans on top will also add a decorative touch.

Remember to follow general candle safety guidelines when burning your candles and never leave them unattended. Enjoy the warm ambiance and inviting scent of your homemade coffee-scented candles.
