Fall/Holiday Candle Making Starter Kit

I have been buying these starter kits and simply love them/ Love the fragrances.

This was the first time I made candles. My dad joined and the experience was amazing. This would make a great activity with family during the holidays. The FO stayed and you could definitely smell the FO all over the home. I also poured some into a candy mold I had just for fun to make wax melts and those turned out amazing as well. I gave some to a friend and she loved them and those wax melts made her entire house smell. From my little bit of understanding, I know this wax is not a wax melt wax but if it's just for gifts and fun it worked amazingly! Definitely a great first experience making candles! Thank you CS for making it so easy!

During this quarantine I was bored and decided to do some candle making.....so glad I came across this site. Already created my starter kit candles. The professional kit is next.

I enjoyed this starter kit to try my hand at candle making. I followed the instructions and all went well except when I pulled the wick "taut" as the instructions say, it came right out of its little metal holder. This was after I had poured the wax. So I had to pour the wax back into the pitcher and take a toothpick and jam the wick back into the little hole and re-pour the wax. So be careful when putting the wicks into the wick bars, which was also difficult. The slot in the wick bar was pretty small and I wasn't sure how to get the wick in it, so I made the slot bigger by prying it open with some scissors. I might just need practice. Otherwise, I had a lot of fun!

Great kit to get started making your own candles. I like that the wax is microwave safe and there's no measuring involved. The candles are excellent gifts, especially during the holidays. I believe this is an easy enough project for older kids and teens who enjoy diy projects.
