Back then, candles looked very simple and are used mainly for lighting. They go without any fragrance since it wasn’t deemed as important then. With the changing of times, the candles evolved into glorious decorations, with all the trimmings and different scents. They are also utilized as good therapeutic tools. Dinners become more intimate when candles are lit.

Since candles are highly sought after for their great styles, businesses have caught on the trend and increased their prices. What most candle-lovers did was to learn how to make their own. Not only do they save up but also they were able to personalize the candles. Some even turn it into business. And if you love having candles around your home, why not learn candle making? It is very easy to do and will definitely not break the budget.

First, have the materials ready. The basics for candle making are wax, wicks, dye and molds. But if you want to add scent to your candles, then purchase some fragrance oils. To melt the wax, a double boiler may be used. A regular kettle will suffice if you do not want your double boiler smelling of wax.

We now go to the candle making proper. First, melt the wax to the point that no solid wax may be seen. Since wax is very prone to bursting if placed under high temperature, use a stove that has a temperature control. The time to melt the wax depends on the amount placed on the stove. Usually, the candle wax packet contains instructions. There is also a difference between the melting of gel wax and the solid wax. Ask the store where you bought the materials for tips.

After carefully melting the wax, add the dye. Only a small amount is needed lest you want a very dark candle. Pour the wax on the container or molds. Use an aluminum cup or glass when transferring the melted wax. Make sure you do this with utmost caution since melted wax is very hot.

Add a few drops of fragrance oil to add scent to the candle. The wick must be secured in the middle and must reach the bottom. Use a clip to steady it in place. To make the wax harden fast, place them in a cool area.

You may also do layering of colors. This is done by pouring pre-colored wax into the mold but leaving extra space for other wax. The second (or third) wax must be of a different color. The wax will not mix with each other if poured very slowly.

For decorations, use your imagination. Make use of things around you like dried leaves or colorful ribbons. Keep in mind that it must not be too distracting to look at. After all, candles should give a relaxing feel even when they are not lighted.
