The next time you need some DIY candle ideas, try to think outside the box. By thinking outside the box, you will be able to come up with better and more creative ideas that will not only be great looking, but also help you save money on your candles. Let’s say that you are making soy candles for your home. Instead of buying wax from the store, what if you could make your own?
One of the best DIY candle ideas out there involves using clear glass jars and layered scent diy candle kits. You can purchase clear glass jars at any dollar store or craft store for less than twenty dollars. These clear glass jars can be bought in different colors so you can easily choose a coordinating color for your candles. Some candle retailers offer candles in red, green, yellow, blue, ivory, lavender, and many other different colors. There are even clear glass jars that have little seashells on them!
For a wonderful array of color block candles, why not purchase a container filled with a variety of chips that you can paint and place on top of the jar? You can get these chips in every size, so you can create the exact color scheme that you need for your homemade candles. You can create rainbow candles by placing rainbow colored chips on top of your homemade candles. This is another of the great DIY candle ideas that are easy and inexpensive to do.
A fun alternative to soy and clear glass jars is to purchase jugs filled with hot liquids. Fill the soy or clear jugs with essential oils, potpourri scents, aromatherapy essences, and bath teas. These types of candles look great when they are stacked up, but they are also easier to make with the added ingredients.
Homemade candles are fun and easy to make, but they are also a great way to save money. Soy and clear glass jars allow you to reuse them over again, which means that you will have plenty of candles on hand if you need them. If you prefer using your own recipes, you can find soy or crayons at craft stores or even online. If you prefer to purchase the supplies, you can either pick up a package at a craft store, or you can find them at an online craft retailer. Both of these options will save you money, as well as allowing you to customize your candle creations.
Another one of the wonderful DIY candle ideas that are easy to do is to create custom candle holders using colored glass, wax, or crayons. One of the best candle holders on the market today is the Color Block Candle Holder by craftmatic. This holder allows you to place your favorite color blocks on top of the base and then simply add your wax or crayons to make your own personal set of candles. This holder comes in two separate packages: one with the base, and another with a pack of wax blocks that you can easily replace. This is an excellent choice for someone who wants to customize their candles, without having to buy all of the materials.
If you want your candles to have a more intense scent, you can layer your wax with different scents. If you would like to have a minty scent in one layer, put some mister in each individual layer. If you would like to have a musky scent in the bottom layer, use brown wax or gel wax in smaller jars and layer them on top of your original layers of wax. You can do all sorts of different things with a few different types of wax, so take some time and think about what kinds of scents you would like to smell in your candles.
If you prefer to let your candles cool completely between layers of wax, you can use a silicone mold to house your layers of wax. The advantage of this method is that it prevents the wax from melting and spreading across the sides of your molds. You will also need a bit of clear silicone sealant to keep the mold in place. Once your candle has finished cooling completely, you can finish positioning your molds around it and then pour your desired amount of wax into each individual mold, using a funnel to keep each layer uniform.
