Making Scented Candles With Crisco
Scented candles are a great way to make your home smell nice, but they can be expensive. Making your own scented candles is a great way to save money and customize the scent of your candles. You can make scented candles with Crisco, which is a vegetable shortening.
To make scented candles with Crisco, you will need:
-Crisco
-Wax
-Fragrance oil
-Double boiler
-Thermometer
-Pot
-Candle wicks
To make the candles, start by melting the wax in the double boiler. Once the wax is melted, add the Crisco and the fragrance oil. Stir the wax and Crisco together until the Crisco is melted.
Next, use the thermometer to check the temperature of the wax. The wax should be between 150 and 170 degrees Fahrenheit. If the wax is too hot, let it cool down a bit before adding the wicks.
Once the wax is the right temperature, add the wicks. Allow the wax to cool completely before burning the candles.
Candle Making Supplies Thermometer
– A thermometer is an essential tool for candle making. It is used to measure the temperature of the wax, which needs to be between 130-170 degrees Fahrenheit in order to be melted.
– If the temperature of the wax is too low, the wax will not melt properly and the candle will not be smooth. If the temperature of the wax is too high, the wax will be too liquid and the candle will not be sturdy.
– A thermometer is also used to measure the temperature of the room, in order to make sure that the wax is not being melted in an environment that is too hot or too cold.
Wax
– The type of wax that is used for candle making is important. There are many different types of waxes available, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks.
– The most popular types of wax for candle making are paraffin wax and soy wax. Paraffin wax is a petroleum-based wax that is inexpensive and easy to work with. However, it is not environmentally friendly because it is made from petroleum. Soy wax is made from soybeans, making it a more sustainable option. However, soy wax is more difficult to work with than paraffin wax.
– Other types of wax that can be used for candle making include beeswax, soy-beeswax blend, and palm wax.
Wick
– The wick is the part of the candle that is lit. It is important to choose the right wick for the type of wax that is being used.
– The most popular wicks for candle making are cotton wicks and paper wicks. Cotton wicks are made from cotton and are easy to light. Paper wicks are made from paper and are less likely to burn out than cotton wicks.
– Other types of wicks that can be used for candle making include hemp wicks, wood wicks, and synthetic wicks.
Mould
– A mould is a container that is used to shape the candle. It is important to choose the right mould for the type of candle that is being made.
– The most popular moulds for candle making are metal moulds and silicone moulds. Metal moulds are made from metal and are easy to use. Silicone moulds are made from silicone and are flexible and easy to clean.
– Other types of moulds that can be used for candle making include plastic moulds, glass moulds, and ceramic moulds.

Making Candles Using Gel Wax
Candles are a popular item to sell at craft shows and make as gifts. However, the cost of beeswax can be prohibitive for some crafters. Gel wax is a great alternative to beeswax because it is affordable and easy to use.
Gel wax is made from a blend of paraffin and mineral oil. It is a soft wax that is easy to work with. It can be melted in a microwave or on the stove. Gel wax is also odorless and non-toxic, making it a safe choice for crafting.
When using gel wax, it is important to use a fragrance or essential oil that is specifically made for candles. Fragrances and essential oils that are made for soapmaking may not be safe to use in candles.
To make a candle using gel wax, start by melting the wax in a microwave or on the stove. Add the fragrance or essential oil and mix well. Pour the wax into a candle mold and let it cool. Once the wax has cooled, you can remove the candle from the mold.
Making Pillar Candles With Embeds
Pillar candles are a classic way to add ambiance to any room. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can be made with or without embeds. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to make a pillar candle with embeds.
What you’ll need:
-Pillar candle mold
-Wax
-Stearic acid
-Fragrance oil
-Embeds
-Candle dye
-Double boiler
-Thermometer
First, you’ll need to prepare your wax. We recommend using a blend of paraffin and beeswax, but you can use all paraffin or all beeswax if you prefer. Add stearic acid to the wax to help it hold its shape and to make it harder and less likely to drip. The amount of stearic acid you’ll need will depend on the type of wax you use. We recommend starting with 1-2% of the total weight of the wax.
Next, add fragrance oil and candle dye to the wax. The amount of fragrance oil you’ll need will depend on the size of your candle, but we recommend starting with 5-10% of the total weight of the wax. The amount of candle dye you’ll need will also depend on the size of your candle, but we recommend starting with 1-2 teaspoons.
Now it’s time to pour the wax into the mold. We recommend using a double boiler to melt the wax, but you can also use a microwave. The temperature of the wax should be around 160-170 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour the wax into the mold, and then add the embeds. Make sure the embeds are completely submerged in the wax.
Let the candle cool completely, then remove it from the mold.
