DIY - Home Made Candles for the Festive Season

It's that time of the year when I get my hands on my favorite hobby, Candle making. One activity which I enjoy thoroughly. I do not do it as a business, though a lot of people tell me that I should. But I like to make it and gift it to my friends during this time of the year. It's my way of expressing gratitude to all those who make a difference in my life.

So here is the set that have already been made and many are still to be done. I have limited molds so it takes time for me to create them and they happen in batches. I love to play with the colors and I can see how beautifully the colors have come out with different shades and mix and match combinations.

In the making.
All the candles are made in Soy wax, they are smooth in burning and do not release black flames.

The wax is getting melted. I keep different pans to add up different colors and do the mix and match part. Once the wax gets melted, the color is added.

The kit is always handy, where I keep a stock of the essential oils, different types of molds, colors, wicks. This time I wanted to only make flower candles.

The molds are set with the wicks for the wax to be poured in. I first add one color to the half of the mold and then allow it to cool, not completely hard but a little till it gets soft and then add up the second color. In that manner there is a slight merge of both the colors with each other, and gives shades even to the white part.
