Candle & Soap Making

Creating your own homemade candles and soaps is easy with the right supplies. By doing it yourself, you have the option for increased personalization regarding what scents and products you use. Find a candle making kit for an easy to follow guide, or look for soap and candle molds in a variety of fun shapes. Ready to dive in? Materials like soy and beeswax are great for candle making. Soy is non-toxic and burns clean, while beeswax provides a longer burn than traditional candles and actually pulls toxins from the air! Embellish your beeswax with silicone candle molds that have a honeycomb pattern for a look that is bee-utiful. You’ll also enjoy adding your favorite scents to these freshly designed candles. There are plenty of essential oils and candle fragrances to choose from, including the scents of freshly baking treats and rich florals. Scatter your candles with gold foil, glitter, dried rose petals, and dried leaves to enhance their visual appeal. Finish the look with rustic wooden wicks. Wood wicks offer a fireplace crackle while burning with less soot and at a slower rate than regular wicks. For soaps, there are also soap makings kits, or you can fill your soap molds with personal recipes that include mango butter, shea butter, coconut sugar, and avocado oil. Similar additives, such as glitter and dried flower petals, also work well in soaps. Promote wellness by adding activated charcoal to the mix, as well as bath scents that encourage relaxation and comfort. Grab a soap cutter so you can create individual portions to hand out as gifts or party favors. Whether you’re making a batch for home or for friends, there are tons of interesting soap and candle creations waiting to be explored! Check out our DIY pages for more inspiring ideas!
