I’ve been on a bit of a candle-making kick lately. It all started when I decided to make a candle for my desk at work. I was looking for something to make my work area smell a little nicer and I thought it would be fun to make my own candle. I found a great tutorial online and I was off!
Since then, I’ve made several different candles, all with different scents. I’ve even made a few candles for friends and family. It’s a really fun and easy activity and the results are always impressive.
If you’re interested in making your own candles, here’s a quick and easy tutorial on how to make an essential oil candle.
What you’ll need:
-A jar or container of some sort (I used a mason jar for this tutorial)
-A wick
-Essential oils (I used lavender oil for this tutorial)
-A pot to melt the wax
-A stove top
Step 1:
Cut the wick to the desired length. I recommend cutting it a little bit longer than you think you’ll need, as you can always trim it down later.
Step 2:
Put the wick in the jar or container.
Step 3:
In a pot, melt the wax. I used soy wax for this tutorial, but you can use any type of wax you want.
Step 4:
Once the wax has melted, add the essential oils. I used about 10 drops of lavender oil for this candle, but you can use whatever scent you want.
Step 5:
Pour the melted wax into the jar or container. Be sure to pour it over the wick so that the candle is fully submerged.
Step 6:
Let the candle cool and harden. Once it’s cooled, you can trim the wick to the desired length.
There you have it! Your very own essential oil candle. Enjoy!
How To Put Pictures On Candles
There are many ways to put pictures on candles. The most popular way is to use a photo printer to print the picture on to transfer paper. You can then iron the picture on to the candle. Another way is to use a computer to create a design, and then use a transfer paper to put the design on to the candle.
Selling Candles At Home
Candles are often used in homes for many reasons. They can be used to provide light, to produce a pleasant smell, or to create a relaxing atmosphere. Candles can also be used as decorations.
There are many different types of candles available, including scented candles, aromatherapy candles, and candles that are made to look like food. There are also different types of wicks, including lead-free wicks and cotton wicks.
When selling candles at home, it is important to consider the needs of your customers. Some customers may be looking for candles that produce a strong scent, while others may be looking for candles that are made from natural materials. It is also important to consider the type of wick that is used in the candle.
When selling candles, it is important to remember that not all candles are created equal. Some candles are made from high-quality materials, while others are made from low-quality materials. It is important to price candles accordingly.

Making Scented Beeswax Candles
When it comes to making candles, there are a few different types of wax that you can use. The most popular option by far is beeswax, which has a natural scent that many people love. If you’re looking to make scented beeswax candles, there are a few things you need to do in order to make sure the scent is strong and lasts.
The first step is to make sure you have some high quality beeswax. You can usually find this at a local beekeeper’s shop or online. The higher the quality of the wax, the better the scent will be.
Once you have your beeswax, you’ll need to melt it down. You can do this using a double boiler or by placing it in a microwave-safe container and microwaving it in short bursts.
Once the wax is melted, you can add your desired scent. There are a number of different essential oils that you can use for this, or you can use a scented candle wax scent. Be sure to mix the scent in well so that it’s evenly distributed.
Next, you’ll need to pour the wax into candle molds. You can find these at most craft stores, or you can make your own molds using household objects.
Once the wax has hardened, you can light your new scented beeswax candle and enjoy the lovely aroma!
