So, let's just go step by step through the process so that you can make your own candle today!

How to make candles step

First you must gather all the ingredients and materials. Therefore, putting all of your wax in a container resistant to heat, get a mold for his candle, and put a wick in the center with a wick tab. A wick is a small metal disk tab that keeps the wick from burning all the way done, which would be very dangerous. Once you have all the materials together to put the wax (in the cup!) On a pan of simmering water to melt.

While it is melting, put the wick tab (with the fuse in it) in the center of your mold. Once the mold and the wick down, turn your attention to the wax. When the wax is completely liquid is the time to add the colors, smells, or items (eg, flower petals or herbs) and let the colors and pronounced aromas of wax.

When the wax reaches 160-170 degrees (depending on the type of wax, if it is not safe to go to 170), pour slowly into the pan and put the rest of the wax fire. Now just wait for an hour or two for the wax to cool, and you have to make a decision.

Depending on the type and the size of the mold that is used, there is a good chance that the wax sank a bit in the middle. You can leave or sail like this, or correct so that the top is completely smooth. To smooth the top of the candle, carefully blending with a heat gun or heat the remaining wax and pour (just a bit!) On the candle cool. If you choose to pour more wax, heat to about 180 to avoid having a seam between the two layers.

The last step in how candle making is simply unmold the candle and trim the wick. Now just put the sail where you want it, light the fuse, and enjoy the fruits of their labor (as you start to do more)!
