Our candle making kits contain all the necessary ingredients to get started with the exciting craft of candle making, designed with the beginner at mind. Candle making can be daunting when you first start out, what wax should I use? Which wicks are suitable? Are my ingredients compatible? We have all been there.

Just select the fragrance which you like the sound of and you are good to go, that way you can concentrate on the fun part, the candle making!

We have designed our kits for people ready to learn how to make candles the right way. Whether you are a crafter at home or a business enthusiast looking to expand your product range, our kits are the best way to start.

Our kits make a great gift for loved ones, or why not make a candle to give as a gift? Every kit is supported with an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide to help you on your candle making journey. The guide can be downloaded under the data sheet tab on each candle making kit product page. No specialist equipment is needed to enjoy candle making, you can do it all in your own kitchen!

In order to use our candle making kits you will require the following:

• A cooker or heat source to melt the wax

• A container to melt the wax in such as a double boiler or a pan inside a pan

• A pouring jug

• A utensil to stir the wax with

• A thermometer

What is the best temperature for melting candle wax?

Making candles at the right temperature is a key factor in achieving good results. Generally speaking, you should melt your wax to temperatures between 70-80°C depending on the type of wax you are using. Always check the instructions on your wax as each type may require different melting points and this can impact how effective it is for candle making.

What is the best environment for making candles?

When deciding on the best environment for making candles, there are a few considerations to keep in mind. First, there must be an adequate workspace that is well-ventilated with good lighting and access to electricity. This space should also have plenty of counter space or a large table for all necessary supplies such as wax, moulds, wicks, colours and fragrance oils. Additionally, ensure that appropriate safety measures are employed such as wearing goggles and gloves while handling hot wax. Furthermore, having an area dedicated specifically to candle making will help you stay organised while crafting your creations.

Temperature is another important factor when crafting candles as working with too low of temperatures can cause incomplete wax melting while high temperatures can create air bubbles within the final product which may lead to weak candles with poor burning qualities; the ideal room temperature range lies between 15°C–27°C.
