Review on Paraffin Favorite Fragrance Projects Aromatherapy Crafting by Carrie Spencer

Fast delivery and enough for 2 x 8oz candle jars. I didn't want to invest in a bunch of consumables just yet. After a lot of research and making 5 natural soy wax candles, I finally figured out how to make beautiful candles from a very small amount of store-bought materials: 1) Rinse glasses and ceramic mugs/bowls/jugs thoroughly. I used the ceramic glasses I had at home and bought some ceramic mugs from thrift stores. 2) Melted wax flakes in a cleaned can (which holds canned goods) in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Double boil - watch her video. Don't make too much fire. 3) Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature while gently stirring the grain until it melts. Remove the wax jar from the heat when the thermometer reads 180-185 degrees Fahrenheit. 4) Depending on the type of fragrance, allow the wax to cool until you are ready to add the fragrance. I have Candle Science flavoring oils (B0092RNCSY, most of which could safely be added at 180 degrees F). As the wax cools thread the wicks through the wick tabs (B001683N86 wick will be taught later, I won't pull the wick out. I don't want to buy wick tabs. I found this method works too. 6) Place the wick and wick tab in the container. Pour enough wax to cover the top of the wick tongue. Don't worry about placement - just make sure it's on the bottom and covered with wax. Allow the wax you just poured to cool until slightly opaque (should not be liquid but not completely solid), then gently press the wicking tab (I used a chopstick) into the center of the container. This wax hardens over the wick tongue so it stays fixed at the bottom. By this time, as the wax hardens, the rest of the wax should be ready for pouring. 7) Allow the rest of the wax to cool to 110-115 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour in the rest of the wax, leaving some space at the top. Container so that the wax does not overflow during the subsequent firing. 8) Wrap a rubber band around the center of a pen or pencil. Insert the end of the wick *carefully* into the elastic. Stand the wick upright and straight and place a pencil or pen on top of the container. 9) Allow the candle to cool. Don't repeat my mistake by putting it in the fridge! This will crack the top if you cool too quickly. I remove the rubber from the wick, when it feels stable enough (usually no longer than 20-30 minutes after pouring the wax). If cracks or other imperfections appear on the surface, blow dry on low speed. It melts the top layer and settles nicely with a slightly frosty appearance. 10) In 24 hours your candle will be ready to burn! I hope these tips help another newbie! :) see her video in the listing.
