Advance your candle making with gel wax through three techniques, including insects, and create candles with external and internal floral displays, molds, marbling, and intention candles with crystals.
Beeswax melts around 144–147 f, produced by honey bees, yields long, clean-burning candles with minimal dripping and less smoke than paraffin, and carries a gentle honey fragrance for versatile molding.
Explore rapeseed wax, a 100 percent vegetable, eco-friendly wax ideal for molded candles and wax melts, with a long burn time and safe fumes.
Explore paraffin wax, a petroleum byproduct used in candle making, and its health considerations, including toxic emissions, benzene and toluene carcinogens, and importance of ventilation versus choosing non-toxic eco-friendly alternatives.
Learn to work with silicone candle molds: prepare wick holes, seal leaks with putty, and ensure easy release. Use beeswax or rapeseed wax rather than soy for molds.
Explore intricate silicone moulds to craft venus-inspired candle shapes and decorative pieces. Use eco-friendly rapeseed and beeswax, seal wicks, pour slowly, and manage sinkholes and leaks for safe, stunning candles.
Explore revealing silicon moulds by removing finished candles from molds, fixing breaks with heat, and flattening uneven bottoms with greaseproof paper for a stable, honeycomb beeswax finish.
Learn to make pillar candles with various molds, prepare with mold release and bottom sealant, center the wick, color in stages, and allow a 24 hour dry before finishing.
Learn to build a safe gel wax display by layering water to encase decorations, sealing with set gel, and inserting a wick for a striking, illuminated centerpiece.
Decorate plain candles with dried wildflowers by melting rapeseed wax, drying flowers on greaseproof paper, and pressing with a steam-free iron.
Learn to decorate container candles with dried flowers inside using rapeseed wax, wooden wicks, and safety-minded steps, including warming the glass, proper wick sizing, fragrance loading, and color-rich finishing.
Discover decoupage on candles using napkin art, including full and partial coverage, plus steps for measuring, cutting, sealing with greaseproof paper, and finishing with a heat gun.
Learn to make a decoupage cover for a candle using an Easter-themed napkin, measuring the candle with string, wrapping with baking paper, sealing, and adding pearl pens for decoration.
Craft intention candles by channeling energy for a person with blue color to boost the throat chakra, and Archangel Michael, then surround soy wax with crystals, angel wings, and potpourri.
Learn to marble plain candles using a skewer to create side holes, inject liquid candle dye, and melt with a heat gun or hairdryer for a shabby chic look.
