For a medium-sized candle, you need about 200-300 g of wax.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Melt the wax:<br>\u2022 Fill a large pot halfway with water and heat it.<br>\u2022 Place the melting pot with the wax in the water bath.<br>\u2022 Heat the wax to 70-80\u00b0C. Check the temperature with the thermometer.<br>\u2022 Stir occasionally until the wax is completely melted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add color:<br>\u2022 Choose color pigments suitable for candles.<br>\u2022 Add the pigments at about 75\u00b0C. Start with a little and increase the amount until the desired intensity is reached.<br>\u2022 Stir thoroughly until the color is evenly distributed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mix in fragrance:<br>\u2022 Wait until the wax has cooled to about 65\u00b0C.<br>\u2022 Add about 5-10 ml of fragrance oil per 100 g of wax.<br>\u2022 Stir well for at least one minute to ensure the fragrance is evenly distributed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prepare the wick:<br>\u2022 Cut the wick about 5 cm longer than your mold.<br>\u2022 Dip the wick briefly in the melted wax and let it dry. This makes it stiffer and easier to handle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fix the wick:<br>\u2022 Attach one end of the wick to the bottom of your mold. Wick holders or a drop of hot wax work well for this.<br>\u2022 Wrap the upper end around a stick and place it across the mold.<br>\u2022 The wick should be taut and exactly in the center.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pour the wax:<br>\u2022 Let the wax cool to about 60\u00b0C.<br>\u2022 Pour the wax slowly and evenly into the mold.<br>\u2022 Leave about 1 cm of space at the top edge.<br>\u2022 Make sure the wick stays straight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let it cool:<br>\u2022 Place the candle in a draft-free location.<br>\u2022 Let it harden for at least 24 hours, ideally 48 hours.<br>\u2022 The ambient temperature should be between 20-25\u00b0C.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Top up:<br>\u2022 After cooling, a small dip often forms around the wick.<br>\u2022 Melt some wax and carefully fill the dip.<br>\u2022 Let the candle harden completely again.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trim the wick:<br>\u2022 Cut the wick to about 1 cm in length.<br>\u2022 Your homemade candle is now ready to light!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-advanced-techniques-for-making-candles\">Advanced Techniques for Making Candles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve mastered the basics, you can try various techniques:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list lumond-list-ol\">\n<li>Layered candles:<br>\u2022 Pour different colored layers of wax on top of each other.<br>\u2022 Let each layer dry for about 30 minutes before pouring the next.<br>\u2022 Experiment with color gradients or contrasting colors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marbled candles:<br>\u2022 Prepare two or more colors.<br>\u2022 Pour them simultaneously or one after another into the mold.<br>\u2022 Stir carefully with a stick to create a marble effect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Embeddings:<br>\u2022 Choose dried flowers, herbs, or small jewelry pieces.<br>\u2022 Pour a thin layer of wax and let it dry slightly.<br>\u2022 Place your embeddings and carefully pour more wax over them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Candles in glass:<br>\u2022 Choose heat-resistant glasses or cups.<br>\u2022 Warm the glass slightly before pouring in the wax to prevent cracks.<br>\u2022 Experiment with layers or embeddings for special effects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mold casting:<br>\u2022 Use silicone molds for special candle shapes.<br>\u2022 Ensure that the mold is completely filled with wax. \u2022 Tap the mold lightly to remove air bubbles.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sustainability-in-candle-making\">Sustainability in Candle Making<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sustainability plays an important role in candle making.
