Candle Making Tips for Beginners

Wow, it's awesome! As a beginner in candle making, I was a little concerned that it would be difficult to use, but don't worry! It's child's play. Here are some tips for beginners. (Melt the beeswax in a double boiler (or in a jar in a saucepan of water) and add mica powder for the color. Add essential oils after the wax has melted.) 1. Make a hole. First, use a needle or sharp pencil to poke a small hole through the top of the shape (top of the tree).2. Holding the Wick - Then wrap the wick around the tip of the paperclip. So that he sticks to the paperclip, I dip the wick in hot wax and crush it there. Then gently push the wick through the hole. Don't worry, although there is now a hole the wax will not ooze out as the silicone provides an excellent seal.3. Centering the wick - I use another paperclip to keep the wick centered. See my photos for reference.4. Pour the melted wax into the silicone mold. Use beeswax, which is harder than soy wax. Another review states that soy wax is too soft to make such candles. wait a few minutes As the wax cools, it shrinks and sinks. Pour some more wax over it.6. Decant the candle - make sure it's solid! You can put it in the freezer to speed up the freezing process. When hard, roll back the silicone. This part is a little tricky. But the mold is of good quality and I have not torn. Roll it up until it's almost inside out, then pop it! Your candle is out. Centering the wick - I use another paperclip to keep the wick centered. See my photos for reference.4.
