 Step-by-step instructions for your own DIY candle

Phase 1: Preparation and safety

Organize your workspace and ensure that all utensils are within reach. Secure the surfaces appropriately and wear suitable work clothing.

Phase 2: Liquefying the wax

Use a suitable wax melting pot to liquefy the rapeseed wax at a constant temperature (approx. 65°C). Make sure you keep an eye on the temperature to prevent the wax from overheating. Optionally, you can add suitable dyes or scented oils to give your candle creation an individual touch.

Phase 3: Preparing the wick

Wet the wick completely in the melted wax and ensure it is sufficiently saturated. Then place the wick in the center of the candle container using a wick holder.

Phase 4: Pouring in the wax

Pour the melted wax carefully and evenly into the candle mold without interrupting the flow. Make sure that the wick remains straight and in one position while pouring.

 

Phase 5: Patience and hardening

Give the candle enough time to cool and harden completely. Depending on the size, this process can take several hours. Avoid abrupt temperature fluctuations (e.g. by using a refrigerator) to prevent cracks and sink marks.

 

Phase 6: Give free rein to your creativity

Once the candle is stable, you have the freedom to let your creative side run wild. Embellish the candle to your taste with ribbons, labels or other decorative elements.
