How to DIY scented candles（1）?

This time I made three models.

Although they are similar to each other, each one has its own differences and needs its own attention.

Modeling

Because doing and shooting

I haven't done much tricks yet.

You can add some dried flowers and hay by yourselves.

Finish tying ribbons around and so on.

So get ready to get to the point.

Containers (tearable plastics) Plastic boxes originally used for stationery, sealed with tape at the bottom

Don't forget that little iron bracket when you buy candlewick

I only bought soybean wax, because the first time I bought it, I found that it tasted good, milky, and made a good color, and then I always bought back soybean wax, which is a very environmentally friendly one.

It's easy to melt directly into pieces. If you have ready-made candles at home, you can also cut them with a knife.

Wax boiling in water

The edges begin to melt.

Stir

Start from the middle

Melting caution not too much fire, control the temperature of wax

It is better to measure the temperature below 60 degrees. It is easy for cracks to appear on the surface when the temperature is too high and the final cooling time is too high.

The colour of dyestuffs at this time differs greatly from that of the dyestuffs made. Be careful not to put too much at one time.

Take a piece of yellow dye

Put it in melted wax

Stir gently to accelerate the fusion of dyes and waxes

Just buy your favorite flavor with aromatherapy essential oil

Drop essential oil into wax and stir gently with chopsticks.

Spare

Knock the ice a little bit smaller and try to get as much as possible. This time I used too little to see the effect from outside.

Place the candle wick and ice cubes to dip the iron holder at the bottom of the candle wick into a little melted wax, then fix it in the middle of the bottom; pour a small amount of wax into the bottom to check if there is a hole in the bottom, and add ice cubes to the bottom if there is no problem.

After pouring wax into ice, pour wax in immediately.

As soon as the wax was poured in, it cooled around the ice. It looked like a mango banjo.

Solidification 3

After solidification 4 is completely solidified, the candle is taken out and the redundant candle wick is cut off.

finished product

Lighting candles has proved that there are really too few ice cubes to see why.. As an incentive, borrow a successful picture of ice candles, the following red candles are my favorite:

It feels like velvet.
