Candlemaking

Kls got this for her birthday:

It’s a candle making kit! Here’s what was inside:

Enough supplies to make nine soy candles, including colours and scents. Of course we’ve already made several.

Start by preparing the tin by adding the wick:

Melt the wax and colour block by floating the metal jug in boiling water (which takes about 10 minutes):

Add the scent, carefully pour the liquid wax into the candle and then let it ‘cure’ for 48 hours:

Then trim the wick, affix the stickers and it’s ready to light:

Soy candles are good because they don’t smoke, and these home-made ones are easy and come out very nice indeed. Why not get a kit and make some yourself?
