Basic Candle Making Instructions

Looking for something that is easy to make and add a little light fun to your life? One of the easiest crafts to pursue is candle making. The initial costs can be for materials and equipment needed to make the candles but shouldn’t break the bank. The basic instructions can be found online or at a crafts shop in town. Just follow the easy to do instructions and in no time you’ll have a beautiful scented candle that you can lite on any occasion.

Key Takeaways:

• The basic steps include preparing a wax that is dyed, getting wick, preparing a mold, pouring melted wax, and cooling mold.
• The mold can be single-use or multi-use. A good mold is a milk carton that can be pealed away after completion.
• The wick can be held in place in the mold with a horizontal stabilizer like a pencil resting on the top.

“If it is a single use mold (such as a milk carton) then just tear it away. If it is plastic then run the outside of the mold in hot water, this will melt the outside wax helping it to adhere to the mold and it should just slip out.”
