Candle Making Classes

Ever wonder what you might need to start making a candle?? This is the set up I use for one of the candle making classes I teach. As you can see, most of the items used for candle making can be found in your home. For safety reasons, if you decide to use some of your kitchen utensils for making candles you shouldn't use them in the kitchen again. And as a reminder...keep solidified and liquid wax away from your kitchen sink. All wax is bad for your drain. Pour left over wax in either ice cube trays to reuse later or in a metal can to throw away. If you save the wax to reuse for later then remember to label what type of wax it is. Happy Candle Making!!

Toilet Paper Air Freshener and Floating Candles!!!

This is an example of what some of my students will make in this class. Pictured here is a toilet paper roll dipped in scented paraffin wax, three floater candles and three hand molded floater candles. I found that it is better to use an ivory or cream color for the toilet paper roll as it will blend in better with the whiteness of the toilet paper. The molded stars were made from the same wax as the toilet paper dip. The hand molded floating flowers were colored using a pink block and cut-n-carve was was used. It's always fun to be creative and use different waxes to see how they work! This will be a very fun class!!!
