Carve out the inside of the pumpkin like you would a jack-o-lantern. Use the paring knife to cut open into the pumpkin and then use the melon baller to scrape out the guts.
Use the kitchen scale to weigh your soy wax. On medium heat, add it to the double boiler.
Wait until the wax has reached the required melting temperature to add the essential oils (it should say on the package). Add in the essential oils and stir well.
Let the wax cool to 140°F and then pour it inside the pumpkin.
When the candle wax turns opaque in color, insider the wick and use the chopsticks to hold it in place. To slowly set the candle, wrap the candle in a towel and place it in a warm room.
Let the candle sit for 24 hours. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch above the wax.
Gift right away as the pumpkin is perishable. To protect the surface, place a decorative wood slice or ceramic plate below the candle while burning.
