Why is it worth making decorative candles?

Making decorative candles offers you freedom – you choose the shape, colors, scent, and style. Not only is the process relaxing, but the result is also practical: you can use the candles as home decor, for aromatherapy, or as original gifts.

What will you need to make decorative candles?

Making decorative candles does not require complicated materials. The basic items are:

  • A metal rod or stick to hold the wick

  • Thermometer (optional)

Step-by-step making of decorative candles

  1. Melt the wax – Melt the wax slowly in a warm water bath or using the steam method.

  2. Add fragrance and color – Once the wax has melted, add the essential oil and dye. Mix well.

  3. Prepare the molds – insert the wick into the mold and secure it so that it is in the middle.

  4. Pour the wax – Carefully pour the liquid wax into the mold. Let it cool completely.

  5. Trim the wick – Once the candle has hardened, trim the excess wick.
