After that, they’ll pour the melted mixture into an upcycled jar and let it sit until it cools off and solidifies into their own personalized custom-made candle.

Share customer testimonials
I attended the Candle Making Workshop Chicago last weekend and it was an amazing experience! I learned so much, from different candle-making techniques to essential oil aromatherapy. I loved how informative and creative the instructor was, and her helpful demonstrations made it easy to follow along. Plus, there were a lot of great tips on how to step up my home candle making game. The supplies and materials provided were high quality, and I even got to take my creations home.
