How to Make Candles: Enjoy The Art

How to make candles is a fun and easy craft that can be done as a family.It is a fantastic idea for gift baskets and presents, because each candle is a exclusive creation fashioned with care. Supplies for candle making can be found in grocery or craft stores, so getting started is a simple process.

Types of Candles

There are different types of candles that can be created. One type is a solid candle that is formed in a mold.It can be a large block candle in dissimilar shapes, such as a tube or rectangle, or it can be short, even down to a votive candle. A variation of these solid candles is to add a scent, which can be anything from vanilla or mint, to cinnamon. Basically any spice can be added in candle making to provide that unique scent for any occasion.

Another option in how to make candles is to create a crayon candle by mixing old crayons in with the paraffin to give it a colorful appearance. This is a great choice for families who have old, broken crayons lying around with which they don’t have any use. Bees wax candles are also a great choice for families to make since they do not require any melting of the wax in the making of them.Bees wax candles simply require a tight wrapping of the wax around the wick for this type of candle making.

A more ancient type of how to make candles is dipping the candles. This type of candle is made two at a time, since the wick is draped to form two equal lengths that are dipped into the wax.This kind of candle making takes more of a process to do, since the candle has to be dipped, allowed to cool for one minute, and then dipped again, repeating the process until the candle is as thick as desired.This kind of candle can also be scented, just as the solid candles are.

Supplies:

There are several basic ingredients that have to be included in the candle maker’s candle making supplies. The main ingredients are wax (of course,) wicks, a way to melt the wax, like a double boiler, and candle molds or containers. It is vitally important to have a double boiler or a wax melter because the paraffin wax can catch on fire at the high temperatures needed to melt it.Other vital items are a candle making thermometer to keep track of the heat and make certain there isn’t a fire, fragrances for scented candles, dyes for colored candles and putty for the molds.
