Candles are a popular item to make because they are relatively easy and can be made with a variety of scents. They are also a great way to add a touch of decoration to a room.
There are a variety of ways to make candles. One of the most popular methods is to use a kit. A kit typically includes all of the supplies you need to make candles, including the wax, wicks, and scent.
The first step in making candles with a kit is to melt the wax. Most kits include a melting pot, which can be used to melt the wax in a microwave or on the stove. Once the wax is melted, you can add the scent, if desired.
Next, you will need to cut the wicks to the appropriate length. The wicks should be about two inches longer than the height of the container you are using to make the candles.
After the wicks are cut, you can add them to the container. The wicks should be centered in the container and should not touch the bottom or the sides.
Once the wicks are in place, you can pour the wax into the container. Be sure to fill the container to the top so that the wicks are submerged.
After the wax has been poured, you will need to wait for it to cool and harden. This can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on the temperature and the type of wax used.
Once the wax has hardened, the candles are ready to be lit.
