Ingredients & Supplies
Making your own candle can be made with healthier ingredients and supplies. The Vanilla Candle Making Kit is a great way to get started on making your own custom candles.
The Vanilla Candle Making Kit comes with all the essential ingredients and supplies you will need such as paraffin wax, dyes, wicks, and instructions. To create healthier alternatives for the kit, we recommend swapping out the traditional paraffin wax for either beeswax or vegetable wax. Beeswax is made from the multi-faceted honeycomb cells built by worker honeybees and has natural therapeutic properties that can help reduce stress or aid in relaxation. Vegetable waxes are also a great alternative to paraffin because they naturally contain emollients and other beneficial properties that make them good for your skin, environment and lungs when burned. Additionally, instead of using artificial dyes to color your candle you could use natural extracts such as dried herbs or citric acid instead. Furthermore, there are many different plant-based wicks available on the market today you can use which will give your flame a more even burn than traditional cotton wicking.
In addition to creating healthier candles, using alternate materials such as beeswax and vegetable wax may require different techniques and changes in measurements so be sure to do some research before getting started!
Instructions
Before beginning with your Vanilla Candle Making Kit, please use appropriate safety precautions to help protect yourself while working with the materials. These items include, but are not limited to:
• Proper eye protection (safety glasses or goggles)
• Gloves to protect skin from hot wax and other hazardous elements
• Long sleeved clothing that covers arms and legs; avoid loose-fitting clothing that could come in contact with the wick
• Proper ventilation for house areas when melting the wax
• Place wax on level surface away from distractions
• Use candle stand or other holder to keep the wick upright when pouring wax
Fragonception
The Vanilla Candle Making Kit is a great way to craft your own unique scented candles. Vanilla-scented candles can be combined with other fragrances to create interesting and unique combinations. For example, vanilla works well when paired with floral notes like jasmine, lavender, and rose, to name a few. Other woodsy scents or spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon pair nicely too. If you want something invigorating try combining vanilla with citrus or herbal-based scents like rosemary or peppermint. You can also combine different types of vanilla together; for instance, French vanilla pairs nicely with Madagascar or Tahitian vanilla bean for an extra luxurious blend. Or try a combination of clover, almond and Madagascar vanilla for a more vibrant aroma! No matter what you decide the possibilities are endless–experiment and get creative!
Storage & Maintenance
When you have finished candle making using the Vanilla Candle Making Kit, it is important to properly clean up and store all of your supplies in order to maintain the quality and usefulness of them. Before cleaning, make sure that all containers with liquid wax are completely cooled down. Gently remove any excess or spilled wax from surfaces by scraping it off with a popsicle stick or other similar flat object. The remaining wax can then be wiped away with a damp cloth or paper towels.
It is also important to thoroughly wash any tools and supplies such as wicks and molds used in the candle making process, before putting them back into storage. Doing so will help ensure that no residue remains on the items which could cause future candles to burn incorrectly or not produce a desirable scent or colour.
Once everything has been cleaned and dried it can now be stored properly until your next adventure in candle making! Items such as glass tumblers should be stored separate from other items such as wax bars and scents, to prevent breakage or contamination. Wicks should be kept in an airtight container so they don’t become brittle or wet due to moisture. And lastly, make sure that all flammable materials like waxes and essential oils are kept out of reach of children and pets, preferably in a cool dry location out of direct sunlight!
Decorating Ideas
When customizing candles with the Vanilla Candle Making Kit, there are many creative ideas to explore. Dyes can be used to create colorful wax designs and blended together for unique shades. Glitter can be added to give your candle a unique sparkle and shine, as well as adding texture and an eye-catching effect. Herbs such as dried flowers, leaves, and petals can add beautiful scents of fragrance while adding natural texture to the design. Ribbons, string and other embellishments can also be used to adorn the finished product with a personalized touch. If you’re feeling adventurous you could even use beads or metal charms for an added decorative effect! Crafting your own candles allows you endless possibilities for customization and creativity.
