Hearts and Crafts Soy Wax and DIY Candle Making Supplies | 10lb Bag with 100 6-Inch Pre-Waxed Wicks, 2 Centering Devices 10 lbs

This Hearts and Crafts candle kit is awesome! I have never made candles before (I’ve been too intimidated by the process), but I have always wanted to try. This kit includes 10 pounds of soy wax (healthier than parrafin and other artifical waxes that contain harmful chemicals), 100 6″ cotton wicks, and 2 metal centering devices. I didn’t need to buy anything else to make candles- I just used what I had in my home! I found two cute ceramic plant pots (the plants inside of them died) and used them as the candle containers. To make a double broiler, I filled a pot with a couple inches of water, placed a metal canning ring at the bottom (to keep the glass measuring cup from touching the bottom of the pot), and placed a glass measuring cup inside the pot, filled with the wax I needed. To measure how much wax you need, I simply filled each of my containers twice with the soy wax chips. (When the wax melts down, it will be about half the volume it is when it’s in chip form.) I stirred it constantly with the handle of a wooden spoon, and tested the temperature with a grilling thermometer until it reached about 180 degrees F. Then I put some essential oil frangrances that I already had on hand. For the candle containers, I placed a tiny bit of tape on the bottom to keep the wick centered, and I also used the metal centering devices. I then poured the wax and waited a day to use the candles. So easy! I’d highly recommend this candle making kit to anyone that wants to make their own healthy candles at home. This would make great gifts for the holidays as well (the kit itself, or you can make and give away the candles you make for your loved ones!).
