Do you know? You can make your own (DIY) candles at home.

Materials:

  • Soy wax flakes
  • Candle wicks
  • Fragrance oils or essential oils
  • Candle dye (optional)
  • Glass or metal container (for example, a jar or tin)
  • Double boiler or a pot and a heat-safe container
  • Thermometer
  • Wooden skewers or chopsticks
Lilin Institute scented candles.

Instructions:

  1. Prepare your container, cleaning it and securing the wick at the bottom. You can use a wick sticker or a dab of hot glue.

  2. Melt the soy wax flakes in a boiler or a heat-safe container placed inside a pot of water. Heat the wax to a temperature of 170-180°F (76-82°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature and avoid overheating.

  3. Once the wax has melted, remove it from the heat and add fragrance oil. Use about 1 ounce (30 ml) of oil per pound (450 g) of wax. Stir well to combine.

  4. Pour the wax into the prepared container, leaving some space at the top. Use a wooden skewer or chopstick to center the wick and keep it straight.

  5. Let the candle cool and harden for several hours, preferably overnight. Trim the wick to about ¼ inch (6 mm) before lighting the candle.

Congratulations, you have made your own soy wax scented candle! Enjoy the soothing scent and cozy glow of your creation.
