## Gathering Your Supplies
Making candles with charms inside starts with getting the supplies. Here’s a list of must-haves for your candle making process:
– Candle wax: You’ll need wax for your candle, either melted or in blocks.
– Wicks: Wicks are a key component in the process, and you can buy any size and type.
– Candle molds: Candle molds come in all shapes and sizes, so you can customize the look of your candles.
– Charms: Charms for inside the candle will make it a special, personalized touch.
– Melting pot: For melting wax, a double boiler or melting pot is perfect.
– Color dyes and scents: Now the fun starts! You can add special dyes and scents to the wax to make the candle unique.
## Preparing the Candle
Once you have gathered all the supplies you need, it’s time to start the candle making process. Here are some steps to get the candle ready for making:
– Prep the molds: Preparing the molds is essential for a successful candlemaking project. Use a mold release spray or vegetable oil to lubricate the mold so that your candle removes easily.
– Place the wick: Place the wick into the mold and make sure it is centered. Use a skewer or chopstick to help keep the wick centered in the mold.
– Add charms: Place the charms of your choice into the mold. You can add as many or as few as you’d like, depending on the size of the mold and the size of your charms.
## Melting the Wax
Now that your mold is prepped and ready, it’s time to melt the wax. You can melt the wax either in a melting pot or double boiler. Many people prefer a melting pot because it can be used over and over again.
– Place the wax in the pot: Place the wax into the heating element and turn the heat to medium-high.
– Add color dye and scent: Once the wax has started to melt, mix in the dyes and scents you chose until everything is well blended.
– Pour into the molds: After the wax is melted and the scent is added, you can start to pour the wax into the molds. Take care not to over flow the mold as this can cause the charms to sink to the bottom.
– Let cool: Allow the wax to cool and harden in the molds before attempting to remove them.
## Finishing the Candle
Finally, it’s time to finish the candle and enjoy the results of your hard work! Here are the final steps to completing the candle:
– Remove from the molds: Gently remove the cooled and hardened wax from the molds. Be sure to use caution and go slow, so that the candle does not break or crack.
– Trim the wick: Trim the wick to the desired size to keep the flame from becoming too large.
– Your candle is done! You can now admire your finished product, and light up your own personalized candle.
Creating your own candles with charms inside can be a fun, creative and rewarding experience. All you need is the right supplies and a bit of patience, and you can show off your very own candle creations. So why not give it a try? You never know what you’ll create!
