What you need is at your fingertips
Anyone can make candles. What will be needed?
Wax
Sometimes it can be successfully replaced with paraffin. The difference between them is that wax, due to its naturalness, does not emit soot, while paraffin, when completely burned, smokes.
This simple materials, the acquisition of which is not difficult. You can find them at any craft store or last resort, melt a ready-made candle, the cost of which is quite low.
Wick
There are also two options here: take it out of an unnecessary candle or make it from cotton-based threads. Twisting them strongly is not recommended - the flame may go out.
It is also worth considering that a wick that is too thick will cause the candle to melt faster, while releasing a lot of smoke.
The length of the wick is determined by the size of the candle plus a small length for easy lighting.
mold
A hollow container made of any material. The only thing: the edges of the form should be straight and not tapered.
Handy materials are:
- Saucepan and metal utensils for a water bath;
- A stick or any long thin object (pen, match) to fix the wick.
Making a candle
Having prepared everything necessary materials, you can start creating. A detailed master class will show how to make candles with your own hands quickly and beautifully.
Lower the wick into the prepared mold for the future candle, fix one end of it on a stick, and place it on the container.
Paraffin or wax grind and melt in a water bath. The fire should be small, and the process must be observed, and in order to avoid lumps, constantly stir the mixture.
It should be borne in mind that the temperature of the molten material is quite high, so it should be handled with care.
Pour a little melted paraffin (wax) into the mold with the prepared wick. Place the tip of the cotton thread in the middle, and let the material harden a little.
Wax has the ability to quickly cool, so you need to work with it quickly.
Note!
Fill the form with the remaining melted material to the required level.
Wait for the candle to harden and cut off the excess part of the wick. It is recommended that this be done at least 24 hours later.
It remains only to remove the candle from the container. For ease of removal and to avoid damage, the form must be sent to the freezer for half a minute or lowered into hot water.
You can light a finished candle only a day after the end of its manufacture. During this time, it will have time to completely freeze, which will favorably affect its operation.
Candle colors
You can make candles at home not only in the main (white) colors, but also in absolutely any shade.
In order to color a wax work, paints cannot be used. Oily or acrylic, they will not fulfill their purpose, but will only stick together in molten paraffin, turning into unattractive colored flakes.
Note!
Wax pencils will help to give the desired shade. They are perfectly mixed with the selected material by adding small pieces directly during the melting process.
Using several pencils, you can create a real rainbow of shades by gradually pouring paraffin of various colors into the mold.
aromatherapy
When making wax products, it is only painted, but also forced to give aroma. The fragrance of a burning candle can create an atmosphere of peace and comfort, as well as energize or, conversely, relax.
In order to make a beautiful candle that will please the eye and smell, you will need essential oils. They are in great abundance blown in any pharmacy or cosmetic store.
A few drops of oil will give the future candle a unique aroma.
Note!
When choosing a smell, you need to focus on the purpose or color of the wax miracle:
- relaxation will give lavender oil, and a candle, in this case it is better to paint it in a light purple color;
- bergamot can also relax - it’s suitable for this green color candles;
- an orange can improve your mood - a bright orange tint will complement the effect;
- ylang-ylang will set you in an intimate mood - lilac or pink color candles will just be in place.
Wax art
Decorating candles belongs to the real top of wax craftsmanship.
You can decorate a candle in various ways:
- Natural materials - pebbles, shells, twigs and others. Basically, they are placed at the bottom of the mold before adding the molten paraffin.
- Food products - coffee beans and dried fruits. Such materials can be placed throughout the entire volume of the form, pouring wax gradually and giving it the opportunity to fix the decoration.
- Decoupage. The technique has been known for a long time and has been successfully used in the manufacture of candles. A colored pattern from a napkin is placed on the surface and fixed with glue designed specifically for candles. This fixation protects the paper from burning.
Separately, it is worth highlighting carved decoration candles. Not everyone can do this - it will take perseverance and accuracy, but the result exceeds all expectations.
For cutting you will need: a clerical knife, paper and a pen. Wrapping the candle with paper, determine the size of the future drawing, cut off the excess. A pattern is applied to the remaining rectangle.
Paper is wrapped around the candle again and secured with tape. Carefully acting, the knife circles the pattern along the contour, and then cut out the excess layers of wax.
You can use these candles at a wedding, to decorate the table or just for the interior.
Transparent candles
You can make completely transparent candles using a special gel.
The advantages of such material are:
- lack of smoke, odors and soot;
- transparency (for beauty and decor);
- the possibility of self-cooking.
How is the gel prepared? Glycerin, gelatin and tannin are mixed in equal amounts, the same amount of water is added to them, all this must be put on a small fire and boiled until the liquid evaporates.
At first, the gel may be cloudy, but as it cools it will become clear.
Working with gel is not much different from using wax, but there is still a slight difference:
- after the candle hardens, it cannot be removed from the mold, so it is better to use a glass and transparent container;
- before the process of adding the gel, the form should be slightly warmed up - this will protect against the appearance of air bubbles in the candle.
You can color, scent and decorate a gel candle in the same way as any other.
Knowing how to make candles on your own, you can always have a wonderful table decoration at hand, an exclusive gift for friends and relatives, and also use your creations in the interior.

Place the paraffin in a glass jar and lower it into a pot of warm water. Heat the water over low heat until the paraffin is completely melted in the jar - it should become transparent.
At this time, prepare the form for pouring. In a larger plastic cup, place the smaller one, after filling it with water. There should be a fairly wide space between the walls of the cups. Pour coffee beans up to half the height between the walls.
Pour the melted paraffin into the mold to the level of the grains, wait 10 minutes. Then pour the paraffin up to the edge of the mold and let it harden completely. This will take about an hour.
Carefully pour the water out of the inner beaker and remove it from the paraffin ring. Lower the wick into the workpiece so that it reaches the bottom of the glass. Tie its upper end to the holder and place it on top of the glass, centering the wick.
Pour melted paraffin into the middle of the candle. Place a few grains on top for decoration. Now, until the candle completely solidifies, you will have to wait 4-6 hours.

Attach a dry flower to the candle to be decorated and gently iron its petals external side of a spoon so that they melt to the paraffin and do not stick out. Thick stems may need to be ironed several times while heating the spoon.
Excess stems that extend beyond the candle, carefully cut with scissors.

So, we have many reasons to finally start our creative process. But to make a candle, we need to stock up on certain materials and tools.
Materials for making candles
Indeed, how to make candles with your own hands without special materials? In our work we will need:
- Vessel for melting wax
- Candle molds
- Saucepan (for a water bath)
- Sticks (the first is to fasten the wick, the second is to stir the wax)
- Decorative elements to decorate the product
- Wax crayons
- Household candles or stubs of old candles
- Paper threads (cotton 100%)
All this will help us create, if not a wax masterpiece, then a beautiful original candle. So let's get started!
Candle wick
Now we have to learn how to make a candle wick with our own hands. We make a gel, paraffin or wax candle, in any case, we will need a wick. In order to make it, we need a natural cotton thread without any impurities. Alternatively, take colored floss as a wick. Looks very cute and unusual.
The thickness and texture of the wick depend, first of all, on the thickness of that part of the candle that should burn through. For example, there are candles, partly consisting of combustible materials. Only the core burns in them.
For those who are going to cast a candle from wax, you need to take thick threads and twist them not very tightly. Paraffin and gel candles, on the contrary, need a tight weave of threads (otherwise, the wick will smoke when burning).
Wick for wax candles
Wick for gel candles
You need to be attentive to the following detail: if the candle is painted with wax crayons, small chips can clog the wick without dissolving in paraffin or wax. In general, there are a lot of nuances in this matter, be prepared for the fact that you will have to select a wick for a certain type of candle by trial and error.
If you take a very thick wick, excessive melting of the candle is possible, and this is fraught with soot. If you make a very thin wick, it will constantly go out.
There are several design options for the wick: it can be crocheted, braided, twisted with a rope. Before pouring the candle, you can impregnate the thread with wax, or you can do both filling and impregnation at the same time.
If you do not want to waste time making a wick, then use a wick from ready-made household candles.
candle mold
In this matter, your imagination plays a decisive role. You can use any plastic or metal molds that you find cute and appropriate for making candles. Don’t limit yourself to ready-made molds: yogurt packaging, cream jars, baking molds, tins, glasses or mugs that can withstand high temperature heating. Some even use milk tetrapak as a mold for a future candle.
Candles poured into tea cups
Candles made in egg shells
But for your first experience, it's better not to philosophize slyly: take something simple. For example, a glass of yogurt. Be sure to remove the paper label first, as it may catch fire.
We take our glass and in the middle of its bottom we pierce a hole with a thick needle - we insert a ready-made wick there. WITH reverse side cup, the wick must be tied in a knot. In this very place of the knot will be the top of our candle, because filling it will be “upside down”: the knot minimizes the flow of paraffin, stearin or wax through the hole we made at the bottom of the glass.
Go ahead. Across the glass we need to put any stick - a toothpick, brush or pencil. On it we need to tie the other end of the wick. It should be placed strictly in the center in a vertical, even position. So, you guarantee yourself that the candle will burn evenly and melt.
Candle coloring
Really beautiful candles you will succeed on the condition that you do not forget to color them. The easiest and most acceptable way is to color candles with simple children's wax crayons.
Do you think it would be wiser to use watercolor or gouache? Indeed, the palette of these colors is richer than the color variety of crayons. But the problem is that both gouache and watercolor are made on a water-soluble basis: these dyes are unsuitable for working with a candle. They do not mix well with wax or paraffin, they can float in them in flakes of an incomprehensible color, and then completely settle to the bottom.
The decoration of candles can and should be carried out only with fat-soluble dyes, and these are our wax crayons.
Often, many craftsmen use lipsticks or shadows in the decoration of candles. If you don't feel sorry for your makeup, please follow their example. But be sure that the scent of lipstick will soar throughout the house, which is far from always pleasant. To many, this smell may seem intrusive.
If you've taken it upon yourself to do decorative candles with your own hands, it is better to use less aggressive materials. Choosing wax crayons, we dwell on the soft types of this dye. Candles made using mother-of-pearl wax crayons are especially good.
If you come across hard crayons, the procedure for melting them will be difficult. And yes, it's pretty hard to cut them. So, we chose a piece of crayon, with the help of a grater, we cut it off and added this shaving to the wax stubs. Thoroughly mixed the chips and cinders with a stick.
However, there is another coloring option. It is easy to find tableted pigments of different colors in special stores. They can be mixed with each other, dosed. Using such pigments, you will be able to make a truly unusual, bright or delicate candle. Pigments in tablets greatly expand the possibility of obtaining interesting shades.
You should not refuse to use dyes: they give the candle a unique look, create a unique pattern.
Pouring a candle
Now the wick is ready, it's time to fill. We need a regular tin can. It will have to be flattened a little to form a kind of nose. This is necessary in order to facilitate the process of pouring the molten material.
It is better to lubricate the pre-prepared form with a thin layer of dishwashing liquid or a simple vegetable oil. Both of them are equally good.
We need to put the fragments of candles into the jar (the candles must be of the same quality). If we are going to make a paraffin or wax candle, you can take a saucepan or a ladle for melting, which are not very pitiful. In any case, this container must be placed in the pan that will be used as a water bath. In principle, you can use whatever you want, except for glassware.
So, we fill the pot with water, boil the water, and then immerse the container with wax or paraffin there. So our material will melt.
When the material and chips are completely melted, you can start pouring the candle.
We fill the bottom of our mold with wax, let it cool. Do not rush to fill the entire mold at once, otherwise a lot of wax or paraffin may leak out through the hole in the bottom. Wax is poured in layers, what has leaked out is re-sent for remelting. When the candle is already completely filled, it must be cooled. The temperature should be at room temperature.
Many people make a mistake at this point: they try to speed up the cooling process by placing a candle in freezer. In this case, it may spread unevenly.
This is not critical if we fill the candle upside down. If you use another method, then you should leave a little wax in order to fill the depressions next to the wick. And after drying, they will definitely appear.
When the temperature of the candle already becomes equal to the temperature of the room, you need to untie the knot at the bottom of the mold. At this moment, we remove the product itself by gently pulling on the wick.
If this is not possible, the form can be cut. Or put it in the refrigerator for a minute, and then put it under hot water for a few seconds.
After that, we cut off the excess part of the wick, leaving a tip of 1 cm. If ugly seams remain from the form, they can be removed hot water. But with these manipulations, the candle may become cloudy, its brilliance may fade. Therefore, the best solution would be to choose a candle shape that does not contain seams.
Do-it-yourself aroma candles
It is quite possible to make scented candles with your own hands. In particular, this is worth doing for those who are true fans of aromatherapy. In order for you to get just aroma candles, you need to add some essential oils before pouring into wax. The choice of oil depends on your taste: you can add any oils, except that you should not take pink. After all, its smell when burning will be suffocating, heavy.
It's great if the decor of the aroma candle matches the plant whose oil we use. For example, taking lavender oil as the basis for the aroma, pink or lilac dyes should prevail in the decor of the candle.
Using laurel or mint oil, it is better to decorate a candle with green shades.
Vanilla or cinnamon will go well with warm, beige-brown candle tones.
Not only oils can make your candle scented, regular coffee is a strong and pleasant scent.
In principle, it is not so difficult to achieve the fragrance of a candle. Aroma oils added to paraffin, wax or gel. And then the process of making an aromatic candle is no different from creating an ordinary candle.
Experimenters are advised to mix oils: unusual bouquet flavors are guaranteed. If you are afraid to “fuck up” and synthesize incongruous smells, look at perfume recipes. Follow their directions, just don't add rose oil.
Gel candles
And now let's talk about how to make gel candles with your own hands. In order for us to get gel candles, it is better to use ready-made gel wax. On packages with it, the recipe for creating candles is often written, and you can use it.
For those who are used to doing everything themselves, the following recipe can help:
- 5 g gelatin
- 2 g tannin
- 20 ml water
- 35 ml glycerin
First we need to dissolve the tannin in the glycerin during the heating process. We continue to heat, adding the remains of glycerin and gelatin to the composition. Add water to the resulting clear solution. Bring the mixture to a boil. Some turbidity of the solution should not frighten you: it will soon disappear. Until the water completely evaporates, you need to boil the solution.
Essential oil can also be added to gel candles, this does not contradict the recipe. A separate, especially pleasant process, decorating gel candles. At the bottom of any transparent container, we freely lay decorative elements: beads, beads, pebbles, shells, sequins, coffee beans, dry stems of plants or flowers. Then fill everything with gel transparent wax. Such a candle looks simply incredible: transparent, delicate, with a magical pattern inside.
coffee candles
Decorative candles are also easy to make. For example, you can make an original coffee candle. Decor - naturally, coffee beans. The principle of operation is as follows: a small one is inserted into a large form. Between the walls of the two forms, you need to fill in coffee beans, and then fill them with candle mass.
As soon as the mass with coffee beans has frozen, the walls need to be blown with a hot hairdryer. Thanks to this, excess paraffin will drain, coffee beans will be clearly visible.
So the outer layer with coffee beans is ready. We put it back into the mold, fill it with paraffin / wax of a different color from the inside.
Coffee candles can be:
Sea candles can be made in the same way: instead of grains, they will contain pebbles or seashells. As an option - transparent gel candles with small pebbles or coffee beans.
Candle decoration options
How else can you decorate a candle made by yourself? The first way to give your candle originality is to use unusual, unexpected shapes. Sometimes an interesting shape can be more advantageous than even the most skillful decor. A wonderful element of decor for candles - different kind glass coasters.
In a specialized store you can find special stickers for decoration. Or decoupage is a great way to decorate candles. By the way, it is very fashionable among professional candle makers. Most often, napkins are used as the basis for decoupage. Do not forget about safety: use a special varnish for candles.
For lovers original decor the following would work:
Before pouring, lay out shells, pieces of dried fruit, cinnamon, seeds, dried flowers around the edges of the mold. Or let it be coffee beans in an ensemble with rhinestones and beads. But in the latter case, it would be more appropriate to talk about decor. finished product: we insert decorative elements into melted paraffin / wax.
An already frozen candle can be pasted over with bamboo or cinnamon sticks. You can add star anise stars or all the same coffee beans to them. It will be beautiful decoration for aroma candles.
If you are using dried plants (or any other decorative items that can become combustible), the candle wick should be thin so that the candle only melts in the middle.
In principle, if you have the opportunity to apply for material in specialized stores, there you will get a lot useful tools. For example, markers and contours are sold there, they do not burn, and during smoldering the wick melts together with wax / paraffin.
If you don't want to collect old candle stubs, use paraffin beads or candle gel. In specialized stores, you can even find ready-made wicks (with a metal holder). For floating candles, you can purchase specially formulated wax.
Today, the fantasy of a creative person is practically not constrained by anything: the prices for materials for making candles do not bite, the process is exciting and not as long as it might seem. Having once created a beautiful candle with your own hands, you are unlikely to deny yourself the pleasure of experimenting again.
