Candle making is definitely more of a science than I realized but they had sooooo many helpful videos and FAQ’s when it comes to portions, wick selection etc.  I didn’t feel overwhelmed at ALL!  And making candles (which always seemed like a lot of work) was easy, simple and fun.

So let’s get started!

SUPPLIES
Wooden Wicks
Fragrance of your choice (mine is the Salt Air)
Candle Vessel
Wick Clips
Wax ( I used the coconut apricot creme)
Pouring Pitcher
-Pot to make a double broiler
Thermometer

-First, melt your wax.  Depending on how many candles you are making your wax portion might be more or less.  I made two small candles so I cut off three 4-inch chunks of wax.
-Once the wax is melted put in your thermometer.  Pouring in the fragrance at a certain temperature makes a big difference.  You can read about it here.  But I poured mine in at 180 degrees.
-Fragrance amounts can be up to your discretion depending on how fragrant you want your candle, but also too much can affect the burning.  You can find fragrance portions here.  For me, I added about half of my 8oz container to make two candles.
-I let my wax cool to 160 degrees before I poured it.  While my wax was on the stove cooling I put my wick and wick clips together.  Wooden wicks are kind of the coolest!!  And so simple, which I love.
-Take your selected wick size and put it in the wick clip and place it inside of your candle vessel.
-Now it’s time to pour in your wax.
-Let it sit till it has completely cooled.  If there are any bumps or sink holes you can smooth those out with a heat gun later.  It gives the top of your candle that finished look.
-Lastly, cut your wick.  Finding the best wick size for your candle is important.
-Then burn that beautiful candle, make more, give to friends or start your own candle business because Lab & Co. makes it THAT easy!  For real!Learn how to make these amazing DIY luxury candles with this amazing company Lab & co.Learn how to make these amazing DIY luxury candles with this amazing company Lab & co.Now gift tags are a MUST when giving gifts and so I have some printable ones for all of you!

    That candle looks so expensive! I am into candle making myself, but I never seem to find the right essential oils or fragrances…
