| A few years ago I bought my daughter a candle
making kit from Walmart. It had everything we needed to begin making candles. (See
below) It sat in a closet and we finally dug it out. After experimenting for a day or
so - we discovered that we could dig out all those old candles and remelt them - repour
them and add some scented oil. Wow! I place them on a
candle warmer (the smaller one's) instead of using a wick and the scent throw is
wonderful! It looks like we've discovered a new hobby and I'm sure they will make some
great gifts!
We have mixed scents for some new and wonderful aromatic candles.
Also I have learned that crayons make wonderful dye for candles!
For containers, reuse the original glass jars or buy cheap coffee
mugs from thrift stores! And for cheap wicks - use birthday candles.
Since I'm still an amateur I have provided some links below for
candle making with suppliers: |
