How To Make Home Made Candles: Learn How To Make Homemade Candles The Easy Way!
Yippy today we are going to be learning how to make homemade candles. Making homemade candles can be such a fun and profitable hobby. I personally prefer to make my own homemade candles rather than just walking into a store and purchasing them, because first of all it’s cheaper and secondly I can make my own candles to my own liking. Today I will be teaching you how to make homemade candles, the method I will be teaching you is very simple and ideal for beginners, so sit back grab a coffee and enjoy reading this article.
Before I Teach You How To Make Homemade Candles You Are Going To Need The Following Items:
1 Sheet of bee’s wax (You can purchase this at any crafts store)
A Scissors
2 Long Cotton Candle Wicks
Now For The Fun Part Learning How To Make Homemade Candles
Now that you have all that you need you are ready to start making your very first homemade candles. As you may have gathered we are going to be making bees Wax Candles, the reason I chose the bees wax candle is because it’s simple, quick and ideal for beginners.
To start of you are going to take your sheet of bees wax and fold it in half, after folding the bees wax you are going to unfold it, and you will now have a line down the middle of the sheet of wax. Using your scissors cut the bees wax into two, when cutting make sure you cut along the line that you made by folding the bees wax. You should now have two sheets of even sized bees wax.
Take one of the bees wax sheets and place it on a flat clean and even surface, You are now going to get one of your long cotton candle wicks and place it onto the bees wax were you had cut. The cotton Candle Wick should be sticking out the bottom and the top of the sheet of wax, now using your finger tips slowly but tightly roll the end of the bees wax around The Candle wick and continue to do this till you have formed a candle. The heat from your hand will help to seal the candle. Now press along the edges of the candle to help make sure they are sealed.
Its time to get your scissors again and you are now going to trim the candle wick, make sure that you cut the candle wick flush at the bottom of the candle, and on top you are going to cut the candle wick so that it is at least 7mm long. Now take the candle and turn it on its side on a flat even surface, and roll it using the palms of your hands this is just to make sure that the candle is well sealed.
Now you are going to take the second sheet of bees wax and repeat the above process. And there you have it you have just learned how to make homemade candles.
