Instructions:

1. 1. Gather equipment and supplies. Weigh 15 oz. of Production Single Pour Wax and heat to 180 °F. In a separate pitcher melt 3 oz. of Soy Votive/Pillar wax.
2. 
   
3. 2. Prepare jars while wax melts. Affix burning instruction label to bottom of jar. Use wick tape to attach the wicks to the inside bottom of the jars, evenly spacing the two wicks from each other and the sides of the jar.

5. 3. Once the soy pillar wax is melted add 1 drop of black liquid dye and stir.

2. 5. Remove the Production Single Pour Wax from the heat and 2 drops of Kelly Green Liquid Dye and 1 Neon Green Diamond Dye and stir. 
3. 
   
4. 6. Once color is fully mixed add 1 oz. of Witch’s Brew Fragrance Oil and stir. Leave wax off the heat to cool so you can whip it. This will take about a half hour to cool enough for whipping.
5. 
   
6. 7. Once the tomb embeds are cool remove them from the mold and round the edges to create a tombstone effect. You can either melt the sides on the griddle or heat up a metal spoon and round them out. 

1. 8. If desired, use a metal skewer to carve out “RIP” or anything else on the tombstone then lightly heatgun to remove any debris and make it look aged. 
2. 
   
3. 9. When your Production Single Pour Wax is ready to whip, use a fork to stir, you want it to hold its shape and not melt back. Pour into the container and straight out wicks.
