DIY Candle Making Supplies, Candle Making Kit for Adults and Kids with Tins, Stickers, Dyes, Fragrance Oil, Pot &More, Scented Candle with Natural Soy Wax Halloween Craft Gift Set

Overall, the kit has everything you need (and more) to create 4 candles in cute, decorative tins that were provided (see photos) - with your choice of scents and colors.The instructions aren't great, so here's my version:What you need:- a saucepan bigger than the provided melting pot- more containers to put extra candle wax in (I "topped off" an existing candle I had that was almost out)Instructions:1) Boil water in your saucepan2) Empty one of the soy wax bags into the melting pot (1 bag makes more than 1 tin candle)3) When the water is boiling in your sauce pan, put the melting pot in with your soy wax (the instructions have you measure the temperature of the water, but it seems unnecessary at this stage)4) Stir the soy wax until it's all dissolved and there are no clumps5) Choose one of the 6 provided color dyes (they come in little plastic baggies, mine were oily and were all crumby). For some reason, they specify the yellow dye in the instructions - but use whatever color you want!6) Mix in the chosen color dye until it's all dissolved7) At this point, I followed instructions which were to wait for the soy to cool to 135F before adding the fragrance oil of your choice. It helps to take the melting pot out of the saucepan onto a trivet too cool down faster8) Meanwhile, put a glue dot on the bottom of a cotton wick and stick it onto the center of your tin of choice (the centering devices are useful - I used the metal ones)9) Once it's cooled to 135F, add 5-10 drops of your fragrance oil of choice and stir (the instructions said 10 ml but not sure how anyone is going to measure that)10) Pour the whole mixture into your tin can (You'll have more than needed for 1 tin. I ended up having tins with layers of 2-3 colors. Or if you have extra candles lying around you want to top-off, I highly recommend putting the soy to good use!)11) Repeat these steps for each batch of soy wax you want to make a different color + scent!Note: if you want to create all the candles in one go, time adds up waiting for the melting pot to cool off and heat up again. You can use another metal pot you have at home, but it was nice just using 1 device dedicated to candle-making lol.Feedback for improvement:- My box, like some others, came oily and the dyes were broken up and crumby. The kit was still usable, but more care needs to be taken so that this doesn't happen. Things were oily to the touch.- The silicone molds seemed random and were not mentioned in instructions. I see from photos that you can use these to make candles too? Lol I would rather save them for baking and make some fun cookies or something.- The scents are a little strong and some are weird - if you have your own essential oils at home that you prefer, those would work great- The quantities are random. You get enough soy for a little more than the 4 tin cans provided. You get more than enough glue dots, cotton wicks, centering devices, and fragrance oil. I thought all the centering devices were overkill - the metal ones worked fine for me and were reusable, making the wooden ones extra waste.- The "gift card" is random and unnecessaryOverall, the kit does have everything to make 4 cute tin candles, so I was pleased. I think this is a great starter kit to learn the process of how to make candles.But once you learn the process through this kit, you'll have extra wicks, glue dots, and color dye to spare - so all you'll need is more soy wax! Enjoy and happy candle-making!

I sent this back and didn't use it, but from what I saw it was mostly a nice set. It's a very complete set--everything a beginner needs is included. I didn't like the flimsy silicone moulds. I especially didn't like the waffled outsides on the heart or the cupcake shaped mould. These flimsy moulds wouldn't be good with hot wax. The hot wax would end up spilling on me and/or ruining whatever they were sitting on if/when they spilled. Then any colored dye would ruin anything it spilled on also because dyes stain when in a liquid state. Otherwise it looked like a really nice set. The tin designs were way cool. Melts are much better/easier for beginners to use than wax. The heating pot looked well made. It's a great set for normal people who can handle perfume-y scents. I would just use my own or other moulds that were hard-sided like metal or milk cartons with the rest of the set which is really nice. More advanced candle-makers would use wax rather than melts as they are less expensive. Melts are great for beginners and very easy to use.I sent this back because I didn't realize it came with non-fruity scents. Fibromyalgia sufferers can't abide perfume-y or floral smells so I had to immediately pack it back up and get it away from me.

I’ve yet to make a candle so I can’t give a full review just yet.Upon opening the box I noticed the box had grease stains inside. Going through the contents I noticed all of the tiny packages with the wax dye were incredibly oily, some even stained other baggies that didn’t have the dye in it.The scent oils came oily too and it made the label hard to read.The silicone molds came misshapen due to how it was packaged. I’m hoping it’ll correct itself if I leave the molds open.This does seem like a decent kit that has everything you need to get started. I am excited to get started.

I was super excited abut getting this kit, as I had been thinking a lot about making candles; it sparked my interest and research. When it arrived, I opened first saw the four beautiful candle tins. Mine had a Bohemian style in the print. I immediately could smell the essential oils, and was sad to see that each of them had leaked out some of the oil. It was kind of messy, but pretty easy to get wiped down.I followed the directions, just as they were written without any question or issue, they were well written and easy to follow. I had a little trouble with the stated 10 mL of essential oils, as the leaking of the bottles left me a little short. Perhaps, this was the reason that they did not seem to be as fragrant as I would like for them to have been.After creating my first candle, with it's scent, I realized that one bag of wax made more than the tin could hold, so I looked around the house and found a couple of things that I could fill and not waste the wax. Ultimately, I found that the candles poured and set very nicely. I will wait to burn one, as my research has shown that waiting 3-5 days for the candle to cure will give the best fragrance. This was a good start and let me know that I definitely want to begin making my own candles. All-in-all, this kit is great for a family or kids (supervised) craft.

My wife is a big candle fan so I decided to purchase this kit for a fun rainy day activity. We truly had a great time making candles. The process itself was relatively easy. Some random things to note that can improve your experience:- The directions, though simple, are a bit confusing due to the English translations.- The water thermometer has an auto shutoff. Not a big deal but when you are trying to track and maintain a temperature it can get annoying.- One bag of wax can fill two of the provided candle holders.- There aren’t any cleaning instructions. So for someone new to this craft that would be helpful.Again this was a super fun thing to do together and the results are are some candles.
