4 Reasons You Should Make Your Own Candles

May 5, 2015 by Shellie Wilson

DIY-Beeswax-Candles-683x1024

Candles are a wonderful addition to any home, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere with their soft glow and gentle fragrance. But have you ever thought about what ingredients are in the candles you buy at the store? Many commercial candles contain synthetic fragrances and other harmful chemicals that can be harmful to your health and the environment. That’s why making your own candles is becoming increasingly popular. Not only do you know exactly what ingredients are in them, but you can also customize them to suit your own preferences and decor.

One of the biggest advantages of making your own candles is the ability to choose the vessel in which the wax sits. Whether it’s a vintage teacup, a mason jar, or a sleek glass container, you can create a candle that perfectly suits your style and complements your decor.

Another benefit of making your own candles is the ability to add your own scents and perfumes. You can choose from a wide variety of essential oils and fragrance oils to create a unique and personalized scent that suits your fragrant palette.

But perhaps the best thing about making your own candles is how easy it is. With just a few simple ingredients and some basic equipment, you can create beautiful and fragrant candles in no time. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to make beeswax candles – a simple and natural alternative to traditional paraffin wax candles. So let’s get started!

They are so darn easy to make.  Beeswax Candle Tutorial.
