Making Your Own Candles Is The Answer For Personalised Gifts



Copyright (c) 2009 Kaye Dennan

Making your own candle gifts is a great way to give a personalized present. You can enjoy making your own gifts and you can add all those little touches that your friends and family enjoy. When making your own candles I would suggest that you choose a quality candle making fragrance.

How to make candle gifts

If you are going to make a candle gift, let me suggest a set of candles in glasses. They are so easy to make and look stunning presented laid on colored tissue paper in a nice box. You could choose your friend's favorite color and use that as your theme. I am sure they would just love a present from you like this.

With glass molds there are so many different shapes you can use and shot glasses are proving very popular for votive candles. If you want to use other larger shapes you can also layer colors effectively.

If an any stage you are going to use glass moulds, there are two steps to take that are easy but critical:

1. Start with heating the glass mold from cold in the oven to about 115° before pouring in the wax

2. Attach the wick attached to the bottom of the glass before starting to pour(you can attach it with a glue gun or with a little blue tac).

Candle Making Fragrance

There are several ways to add fragrance to your wax, but if you are going to make candles for gifts, it is a good idea to invest in a quality concentrate. You will find the initial cost is more expensive but you will only use a very little at a time and the quality of the perfume is so much better so you will be very happy with the result. Just invest in the popular ones that you like such as: lavender, sandalwood, vanilla and strawberry.

Personally I believe in quality. I have often found that if you buy quality the products last longer, burn better and smell so much better. I know for a fact that I like to give a quality gift and really candles are so cheap to make that there isn't a huge need to save money on quality ingredients when you are giving candles as gifts. Making your own candles is only about 30 percent of the cost of bought ones.

Something that amazes me about candles is that they are suitable for gifts for both men and women!) I think the ice candles are always a great candle gift for men because they just look that little bit rough and tumble.
