How to make a soy wax candle
Better Homes and Gardens

Gather your supplies

• Soy wax kit - which includes:
• 3 x 300g bags of Soy Wax Advanced,
• 6 x medium glass tumblers,
• 6 x wicks,
• 6 x wick stickers,
• 3 candle fragrances,
• 1L wax pouring jug,
• 2 x pegs,
• 2 x wick holders,
• thermometer and bamboo skewer;

 

You’ll also need a double boiler saucepan

These easy-to-make soy candles are perfect for quick candle-making in the kitchen. You can pick up a handy kit from Natural Candle Supply, containing everything you need.

Step 1 Following the instructions included in Soy Wax Kit, stick 2 wicks to the base of 2 tumblers using wick stickers. Thread wicks through wick holders and peg in position so wicks are centred in tumbler.

Step 2 Melt 1 bag of wax in double boiler saucepan, stirring until melted and it becomes liquid (about 70°C). Add 30ml of chosen candle fragrance and stir.

Step 3 Let cool by 10°C, then using jug, pour into prepared tumblers. Leave to cool for 24 hours. Trim wicks. Repeat to make remaining candles, if you like.
