DIY Gourmet candles

Want to add a warm and fragrant touch to your interior? Why not make your own gourmet candles? It is a creative and fun activity that will allow you to customize your candles according to your tastes and style. In this article, we give you some tips for making gourmet candles using creative wax. Follow the guide!

Materials required:

  • Creative wax
  • Candle wicks
  • Perfume of your choice
  • Food colouring (optional)
  • Glass or metal containers
  • A pan
  • A kitchen thermometer
  • Sticks to stir

Manufacturing Steps:

1. Start by melting the creative wax with a bath-marie in a saucepan. Do not exceed 80°C to avoid any risk of fire.

2. While the wax melts, prepare your containers by placing the candle wicks in the center. You can keep them in place by attaching them with some melted wax to the bottom of the container.

3. Once the wax is completely melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few moments. Then add the perfume of your choice by making sure to mix well to distribute the perfume in a homogeneous way.

4. If you want to color your candles, add a few drops of food dye to the wax. Mix well until you get the desired color.

5. Gently pour the scented and coloured wax into your prepared containers. Make sure you do not fill the container completely, leave a little space at the top to avoid overflowing.

6. Then let the candles cool and harden for a few hours. Once the wax is solidified, cut the wick to the desired length.

Additional tips:

  • Adjust the amount of perfume according to the size of your candles and the power of the perfume you want.
  • For even more gourmet candles, you can add small pieces of wax of different colors for a marbled effect.
  • Feel free to use original containers such as cups, glass jars or metal boxes to create unique candles.
  • Experience with different fragrances and colors to create a collection of personalized gourmet candles.

By following these simple steps and putting a little creativity, you can make your own gourmet candles to decorate your home or offer as a gift to your loved ones. It is a relaxing and rewarding activity that will allow you to enjoy delicious scents at home. To your marks, ready, to your candles!
