There was a great turn out of students for our recent candle making activity. 🕯️
This was the first time the students had made a candle from scratch and to their pleasant surprise it was a very easy and fun process.
Our candles were made using a combination of natural soy wax and fragrance oil comprising of mandarin, orange, bergamot, rosewood and peony with hints of peach, strawberry and raspberry.
Here is our scented candle making process:
- Secure the wick in the centre of the tin with double back tape
- Heat the wax in a microwave until liquid, cool for a couple of minutes
- Add the desired amount of fragrance oil and stir
- Pour the wax mix into the tin until ¾ full
- Use wooden sticks with tape to secure the wick in place
- Leave the candle to cure for 24 hours (a longer curing time creates a more spread-out scent)
