Well the candle making was actually very straight forward in the end. I ordered soya wax flakes, candle fragrance oil and wicks, all from Amazon. We then made a double boiler from two saucepans of different sizes. We don't have a microwave but if you do have I think the wax can be melted just in a pyrex bowl.
The wax has to be melted and heated to between 175/185 degrees. You then add the fragrance, we used french vanilla, and stir for 2 minutes. Soya wax easily washes off with soap and water so we used our regular kitchen equipment.
Once cooled to about 110 degrees you pour into your containers and add the wicks. Easy!
We left them overnight and then cut the wicks to length.
Beth then decorated the glass and we wrapped it up as a Christmas gift for Nannie and Grampy.
What you can't appreciate on the computer is the fragrance, they smelt divine!
