Low Temp Candle Making
Candles are a great way to add a touch of ambiance to any room. They can also be used to make a room feel warmer, or to create a romantic atmosphere. There are a variety of different types of candles, each with their own unique properties.
One type of candle is a low temp candle. Low temp candles are made by pouring wax at a low temperature, typically around 130-140 degrees Fahrenheit. This type of candle is ideal for making candles with intricate designs, as the low temperature prevents the wax from melting too quickly.
There are a few things to keep in mind when making low temp candles. First, you will need to use a wax that has a low melt point. Second, you will need to use a container that can withstand the heat of the wax. Finally, you will need to use a wick that is the appropriate size for the container you are using.
If you are new to low temp candle making, it is a good idea to start out with a simple design. Once you have mastered the basics, you can start experimenting with more intricate designs.

Instructions For Making Homemade Candles
Candles are a great way to add a touch of luxury to any room. They can also be used to create a relaxing or romantic atmosphere. Making your own candles is a fun and easy project that can be completed in just a few hours.
The first step in making your own candles is to gather the supplies you will need. You will need a jar or container to hold the wax, wicks, a heat source, and fragrance or essential oils (if desired).
The type of wax you use is up to you. There are a variety of different types of waxes available, including soy wax, beeswax, and paraffin wax. Soy wax is a good choice for beginners, as it is easy to work with and is non-toxic.
Once you have chosen the type of wax you want to use, you will need to melt it. You can do this using a stovetop or a microwave. Be sure to use a pot or bowl that is large enough to hold the wax, and make sure the container is heat-safe.
Once the wax is melted, you can add the fragrance or essential oils, if desired. Be sure to stir the wax well to ensure that the fragrance is evenly distributed.
Next, you will need to attach the wicks to the jar or container. You can do this using a hot glue gun or by tying them to a pencil and sticking the pencil through the lid of the container.
Once the wicks are in place, you can pour the wax into the container. Be sure to pour it slowly and carefully, so that the wicks remain in place.
Once the wax has hardened, you can light the candles and enjoy them.
