Making Basic Candles

Posted by Blogger On August - 28 - 2008 ADD COMMENTS

Candles are very easy to make and don’t require a lot of money or equipment. You will need wax, wicks, fragrance, and colorant. As for equipment you will need two old pots (one larger then the other), a double boiler you no longer need, or a candle melting pot. You will also want something to stir with, and molds or jars.

You will want to melt your wax in smallest pan by placing it in the larger pan of water. The same is done with a double boiler or the melting pot. You will then add fragrance and colorant. Stir well. Then place the wick into the mold or jar. Hold in place as you carefully pour the wax into the mold. Let the candle harden for 24 hours and then remove from the mold. If you pour it into a jar then you can leave it there.

You can decorate your jar and keep it or give it as gifts. The candles can also be decorated or left plain and given or kept. It is all up to you!
