Pouring a scented candle is a simple and relaxing process, perfect for those who want to bring a little ambience and pleasant smell into the home.
Here are the basic steps:
Step 1: Choosing the right materials
To get started, you need candle wax, a container for melting the wax, perfume or essential oil, a wick, and optionally, dyes and molds. For specific details, see the Beginner's Guide . 📖
Step 2: Melting the wax
Place the wax in a heat-resistant container and melt it to a suitable temperature. This can be done using a bain marie or a microwave, but be sure to follow specific instructions for safety.
Step 3: Adding the perfume
After the wax has completely melted, add your favorite perfume or essential oil. The amount depends on personal preference and the intensity of the desired smell. The Beginner's Guide to the Art of Candle Making offers a lot of useful advice in this regard.
Step 4: Preparing the wick and container
While the wax is cooling, prepare the wick and container. Make sure the wick is suitable for the size and type of candle you want to create. Fix the wick in the center of the container and prepare it for pouring.
Step 5: Pouring the wax
Carefully pour the melted wax into the prepared container, being careful not to move the wick. Allow the wax to cool and solidify completely before cutting the wick and lighting the candle.
Step 6: Completion and use
After the candle has completely solidified, cut the wick to a suitable length and light the candle. Let yourself be carried away by the pleasant aroma and enjoy the moment of relaxation it brings.
