Tips For Making Homemade Candles

I’ll admit to having a slight obsession with scented candles, both store-bought and homemade.

It definitely started at a young age as I have fond memories of my mom burning a seasonal Yankee Candle in the kitchen.

In the fall it was spiced pumpkin and during the Christmas season it was fresh balsam fir.

This tradition was passed on to my children.

But, not all candles are the same quality.

That is why I’m so excited to share these clean burning, high quality crystal candles with you.

The key is using pure essential oils and either soy, coconut or beeswax for the healthiest candles to burn.

How to Make Homemade Gemstone Candles

Step 1. Melt the wax

Place the candle wax into your pour pot. Use a measuring cup to measure 16 oz or use a block. 1 lb will fill about 3 of the 80z tins.

Step 2. Create a Double Boiler

You never want to place the candle pour pot on a direct flame, so you will need to create a double boiler.

Start by filling a large pan with water and let it boil.

Once boiled, place the pouring pitcher into the pan to melt the wax. If you don’t have a pouring pitcher, you can also use large mason jars.

Step 3. Set Up Your Tins With Candle Wicks

While your wax is melting, set up your candle tins onto a covered work area. Place the wicks into each container.

It helps to use a glue dot or a dab of hot glue to keep the wicks in place.

Open the box of crystals and dried flower crafts so they are ready to add to the candles.

Step 4. Add the Color Block

Once the wax is completely melted, bring the wax up to about 180 F and then add the color block. Once the color block is added let it cool to about 150 F.

It is very important to use your thermometer to ensure that the temperature is right. If not, the melted wax will not set correctly.

Step 5. Add Essential Oils

Add the entire 1/2 oz bottle of your choice of essential oil. I used eucalyptus for one batch and tangerine for a second batch. Blend vigorously.

Step 6. Pour the Wax

Carefully pour the melted wax into the tins up to the top. Hold the wick while pouring and add skewars to keep the wick centered while the wax solidifies.

Step 7. Add Crystals and Flowers

Let the candle sit for about 20-30 minutes until it starts to solidify. At that point add your crystals and flowers.

Don’t add them too early or they will just drop to the bottom. This is where you can really have fun with it.

Combine flowers and crystals in different color combinations and styles.

Step 8. Let Wax Set Overnight

It’s important to wait until the wax is completely solid. I let it sit overnight just to be safe.

Then you want to trim the wick to about 3/8″. This will ensure the cleanest burning.

That’s all there is to it! Beautiful and fragrant homemade crystal candles that would make perfect gifts for holidays, birthdays or just because.
