Material list

These beautiful candles are handmade. They are an ideal gift at any time of year, such as a birthday candle, as a hostess gift and on many other occasions. The beautiful candles in the metal tins spread a pleasant scent and look decorative.

This is how the candles are poured:
You will need approx. 160 g of wax per metal tin.

First place the candle wick in the metal box. It is best to stick it in the centre with a little glue and wrap it around a skewer or fix the wick with a clothes peg, which you then place on the tin so that it is centred when you pour in the wax.

Then melt the wax in a water bath at a low temperature or in a melting pot and add some scented oil if you like. Carefully pour the liquid wax into the tins. The candle will sink in a little after the drying time. If this is not desired, then a little extra wax can be melted and poured onto the dried candle.

After the drying time, the flowers are decorated on the candles.

Finally, the banderoles are designed and glued onto the lids.

Info: The dried blossoms are only decoration. They should be removed during the burning process as they are highly flammable.
