CANDLE MAKING SUPPLIES

This candle making kit is awesome, especially for the price! I had not made container candles before and it was super easy to use, the instructions were easy to understand. I will say that the amount of wax included is only enough to make about 14-15 ounces, as I made two 6.5 ounce container candles and I poured the leftover wax onto my fragrance warmer (not sure the exact amount, but I’m guessing around 2 ounces). No fragrances nor dyes are included, so keep in mind you’d have to purchase those as well as more wax to make more candles. I do wish that the instructions were more clear on what temperature to melt the wax to, and when to add fragrance (at what temperature). There are no instructions for what temperatures to do for either of these, it just says to melt the wax until it’s no longer cloudy. For me, I believe that happened around 165 degrees Fahrenheit, or maybe higher. I added the fragrance at that temperature, the lowest I added would have been 150. I stirred in the fragrance oil slowly for 2 minutes so it could really bind with the wax. I did these temperatures based on YouTube reviews on soy wax, which is this wax type. It seemed to work well for me, as the candles I made have a very nice cold throw (you can smell them when they’re unlit). I have not lit them to test because they will most likely be gifts, but I am optimistic that they will smell lovely as they burn also. I recommend pouring the wax into the container at around 130-135 degrees, because I poured at around 145 degrees and I think it was still a little too hot. I say this because after my wax had set for 30-60 minutes, there was a hole on the top nearby the wick on both candles. I looked up that this is often caused by temperature difference between the wax and its container, and if the container is too cool and the wax is too hot, it can cause issues with how the wax sets and can cause holes. Anyway, overall an excellent product. You get everything you need to make unscented, soy wax container candles at an amazingly low price and value. I had no issues whatsoever with the pitcher, it was very easy to pour wax and to melt wax. Usually I could touch the handle without it hurting my hand; often it was the steam from the hot water that would hurt more, but I would turn down the heat because you don’t want the water to boil too much anyways when melting wax (or so I’ve read).

This is kit is perfect for beginner candle makers! I just got my second kit! I’ve made tons of candles but the tools in this work even when you’re experienced! They last very well! I think I’ve probably had my first kit for around five years! Super easy to use and clean…if you add a little white vinegar in the water in your pan and then stick the pitcher with the wax in, it helps keep buildup off the outside of the pitcher. The pitcher is big enough to melt wax for two or maybe three 8 oz candles at a time. Makes a great gift! That’s how I got my first set.

I'm a total candle-making beginner so I wanted a kit that had everything, including the hot plate because why not. The kit is great for making a few candles and learning the basics. The instructions are helpful (the English is iffy but you still get the point). They also warn that you might see some smoke come off the hot plate the first time you use it. After seeing for myself how much smoke was coming off it, plus the smell, I put it out on my balcony and opted to make a double boiler with some boiling water and the metal pitcher that came with the kit. (Maybe I would have given the hot plate more of a chance if I wasn't in an apartment where an alarm going off would potentially disturb everyone in the building.) TLDR: Great kit for beginners but you really don't need the hot plate. If you have a stove, a double boiler is really easy to make.

I was nervous to make candles, always wanted to but thought it would be hard. This kit however made it extremely easy! I purchased candle dyes to make different colors and used yogurt OUI glass jars to pour the wax into. I measured 1 and a half cups for the OUI jars and that capped out almost perfectly (had to dump just a little leftover into the trash but if I had been motivated enough I could have made a tiny tealight candle with the leftover (but that would be challenging due to such small size ) I read several reviews about this product before ordering it and was hesitant to order due to so many comments about the wick going out fast and candle wax tunneling into a small column not ever really using most of the candle. That was not the case maybe it was the type of containers I used for the wax (Oui yogurt jars) but mine came out wonderfully and burned just fine and did not tunnel. The scent isn't that great I would recommend trying to add scents later after you get comfortable with the making of candles for the first few times but I imagine it wouldn't be that tough to add. It does not come with a thermometer so if you really want to be anal about temperatures etc then purchase a candy thermometer that is said to work well based on other reivews I read. Happy creating! May your homes burn bright and lovely!

Easy, easy, easy! Made my first candles today and just needed to buy some wooden dowels from craft store as only two wick holders come with this product and I made more than two candles at a time. Would purchase again!

OK for beginners but the only thing I don't like this thing does not keep The smell of the fragrance that well! I keep The degree at 140 or lower. This soy candle drowns out the fragrance and I put a lot of fragrance into it the second time around trying to figure out what's going on? Seems like I Gotta add the fragrance once the wax is melted by the heat below to add to smell but when I mix it in it for the wax there's barely any order after everything melts! The candle smell great before I light it smells wonderful but once it heats up and melts to a liquid form the smell goes away. I got to add droplets for the smell to stand out. Maybe if I use a different wax I found a great smell but the perfume or the fragrance but the end results ain't that good the only thing I can think of is the wax just something without any order maybe? I'm trying to figure out why it's not working I found a great smell and I tried to replicate it by making my own but the wax I'm trying to duplicate they don't make for home use??? Maybe if I had to ats and craft store to figure out what's up and why is not working maybe I'll try a little more expensive perfume next week to see if that's the problem but I think it's a wax. That fragrance I bought has really high ratings but let's try the wax first to see if that's a problem.

LOVE this candle kit. It’s everything you need to make a candle, minus the vessel itself. I have a fancy Diptyque candle that I like to use with Diptyque’s Fresnel photophore (candle holder). Now I am generally against candles that don’t come in a pretty re-usable vessel (Diptyque is just a plain jar with a label), but the Fresnel was specifically designed to showcase the Diptyque label, so… I got this candle kit because I couldn’t stomach the thought of splashing out another $70 dollars for a Diptyque candle. Today was my first time making a candle, and it was a BREEZE. The kit comes with a small pitcher to melt the wax, a bag of wax, a stirring spoon, two wick holders, a bag of wicks, and stickers to attach the wicks to the container. The pitcher and spoon are both made of good quality stainless steel. The BEST feature are the mL markings etched into the sides of the pitcher. This makes it EASY to accurately melt only enough wax to fill your candle holder. In my case, the Diptyque candle was 6.5oz, which converts to roughly 192mL. I used the interior markings to slowly add wax until it melted to that level. GENIUS!

It’s a fabulous beginner kit. Great wicks and double stickies to secure wick to glass, then attach wick direct…then a metal clip to attach wick to stand tall and still room to pour in hot wax that was melted by the use of a double boiler…

Loved the wax that came with the kit. The wicks are good and the melting pot and other items just as described. I’d buy more of that wax.

جيد

Got this kit after a long delivery time and it seems they forgot to put wax in there. Disappointed.
