Candle Making Kit
Candle making is a great hobby for people of all ages. It offers a creative outlet and can be a therapeutic experience. It’s also a fun way to create gifts for friends and family or personalize a gift for yourself.
The best candle making kits contain all the essential supplies to make candles, including wicks, fragrance oils, dyes, and containers for storing them. Some kits also include soy wax molds and candle tins for creating custom-shaped candles.
Scents and Color
Candle scents are the most important ingredient in a candle, so you should choose a fragrance oil that is appropriate for the type of candle you’re making. For instance, a green candle can use a pine scent, while a red candle may be better suited to strawberry scents.
Coloring
Candle coloring is an important part of the process, so you should choose a color that will blend well with the melted wax. Usually, this will be in the form of liquid dyes or powders.
Tools
The tools in a candle-making kit vary, but most include a heating pot, a thermometer, a stainless steel pouring pot or mixing spoon, a stirring stick, and wick stickers. Some kits also include wax carving tools for engraving or trimming away uneven parts of the candle, while others come with reusable silicone molds and candles tins.
The kit also includes soy wax in a microwave-safe bag that allows the crafter to heat the wax without using a melting pot, mixing spoon or stirring sticks. The bag’s open top allows air to enter the wax, dispersing heat evenly throughout the melted wax.
