Candle Making Parties
Candle making parties have become a popular activity for an evening of crafting and fun. They are a great way to learn a new skill and create something beautiful, eco-friendly and personalised. Candle making parties can also be a great way to spend time with friends, family and colleagues, doing something creative and spending quality time together.
What Is a Candle Making Party?
A candle making party is an event where participants come together to make their own unique, homemade candles. Participants will learn the basics of candle making, including selecting waxes, melting and pouring techniques, adding colour and fragrance, and wicking the candle. At the end of the event each participant will have created their own unique candle.
The Benefits of Candle Making Parties
Candle making parties are packed with many benefits. Here are just a few:
- Creative Crafting: Candle making is an incredibly creative activity that is enjoyable and rewarding to do. Every candle is unique and personalised.
- Environmental: Many commercial candles are made from paraffin which is believed to produce emissions that are harmful when burned. Homemade candles, however, are made from natural ingredients such as soy wax and beeswax which are much better for the environment.
- Personalised Gifts: Participants can make candles as gifts for friends and family. They can personalise the candles with different scents and colours to give a truly special and meaningful gift.
- Bonding Experience: A candle making party is a great way to be around friends, family and colleagues doing something constructive. It is a great way to make unique and lasting mementos of the occasion.
