How many of you here love candles? A trip to the store will quickly tell you that scented candles are expensive. Making homemade scented candles will not only save you money, it will also allow you to make the candles in your favorite scents. Do you know that most of the materials you will need can be found in your kitchen? Yep. So if you would like to make a homemade candle here's how. Enjoy!Set up your molds on an old baking sheet. This will protect your countertops from accidental spills of way. Molds do not need to be store bought; you can use any plastic or cardboard containers. Think of using yogurt or pudding cups and paper towel or toilet paper cardboard rolls.
Step2
Wrap one end of a wick around a toothpick or chopstick depending on the size of your mold. Cut the other end of the wick to the depth of the mold. Attach a metal wick holder to the bottom of the wick, if desired. Center the wick assembly over the mold.
Step3
Add several inches of water to the lower pot of the double boiler. Add one pound of paraffin way to the top pot and warm until melted over medium heat. Stir occasionally with the wooden spoon.
Step4
Add approximately ten drops of your choice of essential oil to the melted way. Stir the wax mixture to spread the scent thoroughly.
Step5
Slowly pour the wax mixture into the prepared molds. They will begin to set up rapidly as the wax begins to cool. Allow the candles to harden in the molds for at least 24 hours before removing from the molds.
Step6
Let the candles cure for at least one week before burning.
