Gather Supplies

The first step is to gather all of the supplies that you will need. For this project, you will need some wax and wicks. But if you want to be more creative, you can get your molds, fragrance oil, and coloring.

Aside from that, make sure to get your stove ready. Once you have all of your supplies, it’s time to get started.

Melt the Wax in a Pot on the Stove

The next step is to melt the wax in a pot on the stove. You will need to do this to pour the wax into your molds. If you are using a candle kit, they will usually have instructions on how to do this. Although you can use any wax, it is best to use beeswax or paraffin wax. Then, you want to place the pot on the stove and turn it on low heat. Make sure to stir the wax until it is completely melted. Once the wax has melted, you can add your fragrance oil and coloring.

Add the Scents or Essential Oils

As mentioned, you can add scents or essential oils to your candles. It will make your candles smell nice and give them a pleasant aroma. You can add these before or after pouring the wax into the molds. Fragrance oil is an excellent option if you want your candles to have a strong scent. But if you are looking for a more natural alternative, then essential oils are the way to go. Just add a few drops of your desired oil and stir it into the wax.

Dip the Wicks Into the Melted Wax and Place Them in the Candle Jars

The next step is to dip the wicks into the melted wax and place them in the candle jars. You want to make sure that the wicks are fully coated with resin. It will help them stay in place and prevent them from falling over.

Once you have placed the wicks in the jars, you can pour in the wax. Moreover, make sure to leave a bit of space at the top so that the flame can breathe. The last step is to let the candles cool and harden. Once you have poured the wax into the jars, set them aside and let them cool for a few hours. After that, your candles will be ready to use. You can now enjoy their beautiful smell and relaxing ambiance. Candles are a great way to add some personality to your home. So get creative and have fun making your own! Thanks for reading.
