How do you make a candle with oil?

Depends on the candle I suppose. Way back in the old days, candles were made of beeswax. A wick would be dipped in hot beeswax repeatedly until the candle was of substantial size.

Paraffin wax is used today. Please let me add a cotton wick that must pass all the way through so you have something to light. You can also add scented oils and wax colorants. If you want to get tricky, you can put brightly colored leaves and small decorative sticks in the candle. Beware of glass beads and marbles as the can explode if heated.
