Build Your Own Candle Making Kit
Along with sourdough bread baking and DIY canning and pickling, candle making has become a popular at-home activity during the pandemic. If you’re thinking about trying your hand at this fun and creative hobby, candle making kits offer an easy, all-in-one way to get started making your own candles.
Our soy candle making kits have been in extremely high demand throughout 2020—and we’ll be honest, it’s been tough to keep up. Assembling our kits is no small task, and with the necessary COVID-19 precautions in place, it’s become even more difficult. But that doesn’t mean you have to forgo the convenience of a kit! We’ve curated four supply bundles that contain exactly what you need to get started. Each bundle is fully customizable, so you can add and remove supplies as you see fit.
The best part? No experience necessary! Every bundle includes 1lb bags of wax to pair with 1oz fragrance oil bottles to make measuring simple. They also include:
- Wicks
- Wick stickers
- Glass thermometer
- Large pouring pitcher
- Wick bars
- Warning labels
We pre-select fragrance oils for you in our kits, but with a bundle you can choose your own! Check out some suggestions towards the bottom of this page. The Mason Jar Bundle and Amber Tumbler Bundle do not include lids; if desired, browse our threaded lids lids for mason jars (any #70G threaded lid will fit) and metal flat lids for tumblers.
Once your supplies arrive, check out the tutorial videos and other learning resources below with all the how-to info and pro tips you need to get started creating beautiful, aromatic candles.
