Title : Making Candles
Tool and Ingredient :
- wax moulds,
- wick,
- dye discs,
- essential oils,
- and a double boiler.
Steps :
- First of all, melt the wax. All wax has a flash point, so to prevent it bursting into flames, you must melt it in a double boiler, with water in the bottom pan.
- Then, prepare the mould with the wick. Thread the wick through the mould and make sure that you leave a good few centimetres sticking out of the hole in the bottom.
- After that, add the scent. If you want a scented candle, add a few drops of essential oil to the melted wax. You can use any essential oil you like, as long as it doesn't contain water.
- Next step, pour the wax into the mould. Try and tip the wax into the mould quickly, all in one go, to minimise spillage and air bubbles.
- Then, release the bubbles and top it up. Releasing the air bubbles will eventually make the candle sink, so you will need to top it up with more melted wax.
- Finally, remove it from the mould. After four or five hours, the candle can be taken out of its mould.
- Your candle is now ready for display. Remember, you must always leave it for a day before lighting it.
