Unique Novelty Candles

July 30, 2008 | 1 Comment

Like many women, I am mad about chocolate. Why not combine two loves with this lovely box of chocolate candles?
Wouldn’t this make a great gift from a date or even your spouse? Mine is always getting me cherry blossoms and I suspect he likes me plump.
I found these at Something for the Wickend and there [...]

Scented Palm Wax Candle Experiment

July 27, 2008 | 1 Comment

Ok, I think palm wax might be my favorite wax yet, which is too bad because it costs almost twice as much as paraffin or soy.
Either that or I’m just getting better at this. I didn’t add any additives, the candles burn well and they’re the strongest smelling candles I have made.
This is “feather” palm [...]

July 25, 2008 | 4 Comments

If you have a few wax bits around that you don’t know what to do with, try recycling them into a beautiful chunk candle!
If you don’t, you can still make your own chunks. Just pour some colored wax onto cookie sheets about a half inch and cut into pieces once cooled.

Beeswax candles with kids

July 22, 2008 | 1 Comment

Beeswax tapered candles are beautiful, they smell sweet and they’re easy to make. Our 12 year olds enjoyed rolling these up and because they’re so sticky you can seal the rolled line together easily.
All we did was cut one sheet in two nine inches in on the left and then again on the right. You [...]

I wanted to share another candle supply company I came across recently. They have some intriguing organic wax blends with coconut, soy and palm. Of course they also offer paraffin and beeswax.

Container Candle Craze

July 15, 2008 | 6 Comments

I walked to the grocery store and bought 12 mason jars to make container candles.
They only cost eight dollars and I like the fact that they have lids so you can put them back on when you’re not using them. That way the scent doesn’t leech out faster than you would like.
They’re one of the [...]
