Homemade candles


My friend Jenna and I got together to make little candles to give as Valentine's gifts. She's one of my favorites and we had a great time catching up as we crafted! She is quite the crafter, and you can follow her adventures and crafts on her blog here: Northwest Nightingale.

Here is our step by step for our homemade soy wax candles:

We melted 10lbs of soy wax in a large stock pot on med-low




We poured the melted wax in containers and added scent


Yep, we held the wicks with corndog sticks that my hubby saved

Jenna took these photos of our finished products:





Burlap, twine and a stamp finished our little gifts!
