Are you ready to embark on a journey into the enchanting world of candle making? At Candle Fairy, we believe that candle making is not just a craft, but an art form that allows you to express your creativity and create beautiful, personalized candles. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced candle maker, we have the resources and classes to help you master the art of candle making.

One of the most popular candle making techniques is beeswax candle making. Beeswax candles have a natural, warm glow and a subtle honey scent that adds a touch of elegance to any space. If you're interested in learning how to make beeswax candles, we have a step-by-step guide to help you get started.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

To make beeswax candles, you will need beeswax pellets, a double boiler, a candle wick, a wick holder, essential oils, and a candle container. These materials are easily accessible and can be found at your local craft store or online.

Step 2: Melt the Beeswax

Place the beeswax pellets in the double boiler and heat them until they are fully melted. Be sure to keep an eye on the melting process and stir occasionally to ensure even melting.

Step 3: Add Essential Oils

Once the beeswax is melted, it's time to add your chosen essential oils. Whether you prefer a calming lavender scent or a refreshing citrus aroma, the choice is yours. Stir well to ensure that the scent is evenly distributed throughout the wax.

Step 4: Prepare the Wick

While the beeswax is cooling, attach the wick to the bottom of your candle container using a wick holder. This will ensure that the wick stays in place as you pour the melted wax.

Step 5: Pour the Wax

Slowly pour the melted beeswax into the container, making sure that the wick stays centered. Take your time and pour the wax in a steady, controlled manner to avoid any spills or uneven surfaces.

Step 6: Let it Cool

Allow the candle to cool and harden completely. This may take a few hours, so be patient. As the wax cools, it will solidify and take on its final form.

Step 7: Trim the Wick

Once the candle is hardened, trim the wick to about a quarter of an inch. This will ensure a clean, even burn and prevent any excessive smoke or soot.

Congratulations! Your beeswax candle is now ready to use. Light it up and bask in the warm, soothing glow that only a handmade candle can provide.
