Making homemade candles can be a fun and rewarding activity. Here are some basic steps to follow:

  1. Gather materials: You will need wax, wicks, a double boiler or melting pot, a thermometer, a stirring utensil, fragrance oil or essential oil (optional), and a container to hold the candle.

  2. Melt the wax: Heat the wax in a double boiler or melting pot until it reaches the recommended temperature for the specific type of wax you are using.

  3. Prepare the wick: Attach the wick to the bottom of the container using a wick sticker or glue, and then secure it in place using a wick centering tool.
