Procedure text in making candles
Making coloured and scented candles is really quick and simple. What’s more, you’ll save so much money. If making candle is easy, why do you ever brought one from a shop?
What you need in making candle are:
- Wax
- Moulds
- Wick
- Dye discs
- Essential oils
- Double boiler
After providing the materials, follow this procedure in making candles:
- 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 wich. Thread the wick through the mould and make sure that you leave a good few centimeters 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, release the bubbles and top it up. Releasing the air bubble 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 4 or 5 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.
