DIY KITS

Follow this easy step by step video to make your Embers Candle Bar DIY Kit

Before you start, prepare your work surface by laying out newspaper or a disposable table cloth so that any mess is easy to clean up.

Step 1: Take each item out of your kit.

Step 2: Create your scent. Using your blending cup, you will mix and blend the 3 scents together, using the droppers, until you reach 1/2 oz (the black line) Once you have finished, close up your scent bottles and set your blending cup in a safe place.

Hot Tip: We recommend to start slow so you don’t have one scent that overpowers the others.

Step 3: Heat your wax. Take the lid off your wax tub and heat it in the microwave in 30 second bursts until the wax fully melts and is no longer cloudy (should be 2:30-4:00 total)

Step 5: Pour your scent into the tub of melted wax. Once you have poured the scent into the wax, stir with the stir stick provided for approximately 2 minutes.

Step 6: Prepare your tin. Your DIY Kit includes a tin container, pre-wicked with a wooden wick cut to size. If that wick has come out during transit, put it back into the clip that is glued to the bottom.

Step 7: Pour your candle. Pour the scented wax into your tin container. If any wax has solidified in the wax tub, microwave it for 15 second bursts, then pour it into the tin and let it set for 1 hour.

Step 8: Cleaning the candle. Wipe the outside of the candle clean with a paper towel. If the top of your candle has any cracks or imperfections you can smooth these out by using a hairdryer on high heat/low speed to heat the top layer of the wax. This should not be needed for most candles.

Step 9: Design your label. While the candle is setting, you can use pens, markers or colored pencils to design a label for your candle. This label can name your scents or you can draw a masterpiece, it’s up to you! Once your candle is fully set and clean, add your label to the bottom.
