Create your own candles - Candle-making Kit - DIY Gift idea | Giveaways | Small Business | Hobby

Make 8 stylish tin candles with this fail-proof candle-making kit — perfect for gifts, giveaways, small business ventures, or simply a creative hobby. Easily customizable with your choice of scent and color. No weighing needed — just melt the wax, add fragrance oil and (optional) color*, then pour into your pre-wicked tins.

Each candle weighs approximately 40g (including fragrance oil).

Inclusions:

300g Satin soy wax blend

8 x Cotton wick set / wooden wick set - choose from variation

8 x 50ml tin cans - choose color from variation (Silver, Light gold, Black, Rose gold)

Note: To offer you a wider variety of scent options, we have not included fragrance oil in this kit. Fragrance oils are sold separately. Each kit requires 20g of fragrance oil (approximately 6% fragrance load), which you can purchase from our 20g fragrance oil listing.

*Candle dye is also available in a separate listing.

Tools you will need: 

1. Heat-safe container for melting the wax
2. Heat-safe mixing utensil
3. Candy thermometer / infrared thermometer

How to Use the Kit:

1. Melt the entire bag of satin soy wax in a heat-safe container over low heat to avoid overheating. 
2. Secure the wicks to the center of the cleaned jars using the glue dots.
3. When the wax is fully melted, add your colorant (if using), then pour in the entire 20g bottle of fragrance oil and gently mix for 2 minutes (to avoid/minimize air bubbles - which can be fixed using a heat gun)
   
4. Pour the wax into your pre-wicked clean tins.
5. Allow the candles to cool and solidify. Trim the wick, leaving approximately 3mm for cotton wick and 2mm for wooden wick.
6. Let them cure for at least 1 week before lighting or gifting.
