Their first candle is not difficult, however the video made by Sheri Vegas clarifies that making candles is relatively easy , with her basic guide to making candles.

First, she suggests you decide on a container that will hold the candle. This could be a vessel, a mug or as she demonstrates in her video, a bowl. You will also require wax, wicks and scent.

Sheri states that wicks are usually made of cotton or wood. She selects two cotton wicks for this candle which she’s creating using the form of a bowl. Sheri discusses how to use sticky tape and other ways to make sure the wick stays straight.

The wax is composed of beeswax, paraffin or soy wax. The method she uses is a double boiler technique in order to melt the wax at the temperature desired. In addition, she adds fragrance after the wax has been melted and it has expanded.

Sheri then advises pouring the wax evenly and slowly into the bowl so that there are no the formation of holes as it gets cool. The wax will adhere to the rim if it is heated slightly first.

Allow the candles to be completely cool for at minimum 24-hours before cutting the wicks. Candles are fun to craft with a unique design for use at home or to give as presents!
