My mum is a huge lover of candles, so this Christmas I wanted to make her something special. Not just a candle, but a handmade one-of-a-kind candle made especially for her. Nothing says I love you like a thoughtfully handmade gift. These make great stocking fillers or little extras or perhaps if you have to buy a Secret Santa gift.
You Will Need:
- Soy Candle Wax
- Pre Waxed Wicks
- Fragrance Oil
- Dye Flakes
- Candle holder
Instructions:
- To melt the wax, place it in a heatproof bowl on top of a saucepan of boiling water and stir continuously until the wax had liquified.
- Chip off a piece off the dye flake and dissolve it in the melted wax, continuing to stir.
- Once the dye has dissolved into the wax, add a few drops of the scented oil.
- Pour the scented and dyed wax into your candle mold whilst holding the wick in place.
- To keep the wick straight while the wax hardens, hold it in place with a clip.
- To speed up the cooling the process, either place the candle holder in cold water or place it in the fridge for a few hours.
