Basically to make a candle - melt the soy wax flakes slowly until clear and then add the scent, stirring continuously to make sure the wax is all the same temperature. The jar should be already prepared - rinsed and dried to ensure it is clean, pre-waxed wick glued to the bottom of the jar and masking tape ready to secure the wick in a central position. Then carefully pour the wax in to the jar and let it set. When it is set decorate the jar and cut the excess wick.
I'm making these for friends and family's Christmas presents at the moment but would love to be able to sell these at vintage/craft fairs!
What do you think? Do you like them? Will you be trying this?
Oh my goodness, these are so cute! Now I really want to make a candle! xxx

DeleteThese look fantastic, Danni! I love the one with the string of tiny fairy lights around it.
ReplyDeleteI've quite often thought of making my own candles, especially in vintage teacups but I haven't gotten around to it yet!
Thanks Angela! :)
