Candle Making Kit – Easy to Make Colored Candle Soy Wax Kit Include Wax, Rich Scents, Dyes, Wicks, Melting Pitcher, Tins & More

Great kit, did my first batch in 2021, did my second batch today 4 years later. As you can tell I am a very amateur hobbiest, this kit was extremely easy to use and impossible to mess up, will buy new wax to keep going with the basics from this kit.

The scents don't really come out and the colors don't always end up like I expected, but laugh and consider the surprises part of the fun. The end results burned really well - big flames that melted the wax just right. Don't limit yourself to the tins provided; I made some great candles in festive drinking glasses, jam jars, ceramic ice cream cups, I even used a salad dressing cruet (very cool looking! I will try to come back and add a pic later.) It seems a bit expensive up front, but we managed to make a lot of little candles and that was the bulk of our holiday gifts this year to family and neighbors, so the end result saved us a lot of possible cash outlay. (Think of it like giving a plate of homemade Xmas cookies - but you don't have to worry about if people are diabetic or avoiding gluten or a different religion or whatever!) Grandparents were especially delighted. Not good for real pros, but a fun project. It worked ok for me, but didn't really capture my kids interest. (They got much more into the candles where you roll sheets of bees wax.) I wouldn't say I would buy this again, because one kit is enough to start then just buy extra materials. I'm still using the boiling can, but now have bought additional wax and colors. I gave up on the scents.

Loved making candles with these!!! So cute and fun and honestly super duper easy. The smells weren’t very very strong, but I guess that’s okay cause they were gifts and not everyone can tolerate strong smells. Wrote on the cans and made them extra cute. Would buy again if needed to

Having made many candles before in sort of a “just winging it” fashion via old pot and bulk cheap wax with store bought scents, this kit elevated my candle making hobby and allowed me to produce professional looking candles with ease. I would recommend purchasing an adjustable hot plate that has a low setting, using a scale in grams to measure your wax out (I filled the tins from the kit with loosely packed wax from the kit then multiplied that amount by 1.75 and ended up with the perfect amount of wax), and lastly I would invest in more scented oils and wax color chips as food coloring doesn’t work as well. The thermometer that comes with the unit take a few minutes to accurately read the temperature as it seems to read a temp for about 30-45 seconds then jump up to the next temperature increment pause for 30-45 seconds and jump again until it finally settles on a consistent temp. I trust the temp it gives me as I verified it with both a laser heat reader and a standard candy thermometer and they were all within a degree or two of one another. The scents that come with the kit are decent but not really enough given the amount of wax that you are given in the kit based on the directions that come with it, which had quite a few grammatical typos. However all in all for the price you are paying and what you get, this is definitely a wonderful starter pack to build off of if you end up enjoying making your own candles.

Because of some of the negative reviews I almost didn't order this but so glad I did! Everything I needed to make candles with my grandchildren was included in the box and it worked very well. You should mention that although the wax looks very dark after you add the color and pour it into the holder it looks very dark but it gets lighter when it dries. Did not love the scents and I would have liked more color disks or larger ones. I bought a scent that I liked better today at a craft store because I am definitely going to be making more candles. The instructions was clear and the result was great. Definitely good as a starter kit.
