Candles are an important element for creating an atmosphere of comfort and warmth in everyone's home.
Making a candle at home is quick and easy. It's enough to follow instructions and show some creativity.
You will need:
- wax;
- cotton thread;
- utensils for melting wax;
- utensils for a water bath;
- wooden sticks;
- molds for candles;
Instructions
- Place the cotton thread in the center.
- Secure it on top of a wooden stick first.
- Place a ladle of wax in a water bath.
- To speed up the process, cut it into small cubes.
- Melt the wax over low heat and stir constantly.
- The consistency of your candle should be smooth and lump-free.
- Pour the melted wax into the bottom of the mold and fix the edge of the wick in the center.
- Wait a minute for the wax to thicken and the wick to set.
- Fill in the entire form with the remaining wax.
- Leave the candle for 24 hours for the wax to harden completely.
- Also trim the edge of the wick to the desired length.
- A ready-made candle can be used only after a day.
Life hack
After making the candle, you can also remove it from the mold. But for this, the container must be with an even, straight edge, not narrowed upwards. For example, plastic cups, homemade tetrapack containers or ice molds.
