DIY Candles That Make Great Gifts

DIY candles make excellent gifts. They're also great for making for yourself. When making candles, you can experiment with different scents, herbs, and other ingredients. Let us go over some different types of candles and how to make them.

1. Mason Jar Candles With Lavender

Here's how to make a lavender-scented mason jar candle, which is ideal for spring. Enrich your life with the lovely aroma of lavender, which has therapeutic properties.

Ingredients For Mason Jar Candles With Lavender

  • Mason Jar - 30 Ml
  • Dried Lavender Stems - 1
  • White Soy Wax - 2 Cups
  • Candle Wick - 1
  • Wood Skewer - 1
  • Lavender Essential Oil - 15 Drops

Instructions For Mason Jar Candles With Lavender

Step 1: Ensure your glass Mason jars are clean and dry before using.

Step 2: Melt the candle wax slowly in a double boiler. The wax could burn if you overheat. Get rid of the heat.

Step 3: Attach the wick's clip to the little mason jar's bottom center while you wait.

Step 4: Put a skewer across the top of the jar and wrap the wick's long end around it. This will maintain the center of the wick in your jar.

Step 5: Add 15 drops of lavender essential oil to the melted wax. For a more pungent smell, add more.

Step 6: Pour the wax into the ready container gradually. Let the wax finish cooling and setting.

Step 7: Cut the extra wick 14" from the top of the candle once the wax has hardened.

Step 8: Put the smaller jar gently inside the giant jar.

Step 9: Place the dried lavender in the gap between the two jars, one stems at a time. Work your way around the jar again until the desired result is attained.

Step 10: If desired, tie some twine around the jar's neck and add a few lavenders stems.

2. Eggnog Soy Wax Candle

Eggnog soy wax candles make the ideal gift for friends and family. With these eggnog soy wax candles, you can make your home look beautiful and atheistic. Here's how to make your soy wax candle.

Ingredients For Eggnog Soy Wax Candle

Instructions For Eggnog Soy Wax Candle

Step 1: To a microwaveable, add soy wax flakes.

Step 2: Stir thoroughly between 45-second intervals of microwaving the flakes in the microwave until they are barely melted. Use pot holders since the bowl will boil when you take it out of the microwave.

Step 3: To allow the fragrant oils to mix with the soy wax, add essential oils to the molten wax and swirl continually for a minute or two.

Step 4: Put the metal wick holder with the wood wick inside, then place the wick in the center of the candle jar. You might add some glue to the bottom to ensure it stays fastened to the jar's bottom.

Step 5: Pour the wax into the candle jar with caution. Rinse right away to stop the wax from setting and ruining your bowl.

Step 6: Making a homemade wood wick candle.

Step 7: Give the wax time to set (typically an hour) completely.

Step 8: Trim the wick if needed, leaving it about 14" above the candle.

Step 8: Before burning, let soy candles cure with the lid on for one to two weeks for the finest smell effects. This gives the oils and wax sufficient time to bind and produce the most incredible aroma. After that, enjoy burning your wood-wick candle!

3. Dried Flower Candles

This straightforward recipe yields a long-lasting, aromatic, decorative dried flower candle. Make your cozy space feel like heaven while also looking fantastic.

Ingredients For Dried Flower Candles

  • Dried Flowers - 4-5 
  • Soy Wax Flakes - 1 Cup
  • Wooden Candle Wick Holder - 1 Holder
  • Cotton Candle Wick - 1 Wick
  • Glass Jar - 1 Jar

Instructions For Dried Flower Candles

Step 1: Place the soy wax flakes in a glass dish over a saucepan with roughly a third of the water to create a double boiler. While it warms up, mix it occasionally with a wooden spatula until the wax is pliable and pourable. Alternatively, you can microwave the wax for one minute at a time.

Step 2: After your wax has fully melted, give it one or two minutes to cool. Add your chosen dried flowers to the wax that has been melted. To ensure that the essential oil is correctly combined, thoroughly combine it.

Step 3: Fill the container with the wick. A small wax dot should be placed in the center of the container's base. Allowing enough wick at the top to hang over the end of the container, insert the wick until it touches the wax.

Step 4: Keep the wick in position until the wax solidifies, then use a wick holder to pinch the top end of the wick and place it over the top of the container while keeping the wick upright and centered.

Step 5: Over the top, pour the wax. Pour the wax into the container with caution after thoroughly stirring it. Make sure the wick in the candle jar is standing straight.

Step 6: Overnight is plenty for the wax and dried flowers to solidify. Trim the extra wick the following day, and your soy candle is prepared.

4. Coffee Candles

Step 1: Mix two tablespoons of coffee powder with around half a cup of water to make a coffee solution.

Step 2: Place the beaker on a burner with a smooth surface and fill it with candle wax. Stirring frequently, heat until melted.

Step 3: The candle wax should be mixed with a spoonful of coffee and a few drops of vanilla essential oil. Stir thoroughly to mix.

Step 4: Put a candle wick in the coffee cup and secure it with a wick holder.

Step 5: Put the heat-resistant glove on before filling the cup with the melted candle wax, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
