A Touch of Romance: Homemade Soy Wax Candles with Floral Decorations
Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and what could be more beautiful than giving your loved one something special that comes from the heart? Instead of the usual bouquet of flowers or the typical box of chocolates, why not create something creative and personal this year?
Here is a step-by-step guide on how you can easily make these enchanting candles at home.
- Soy wax
- Candle wick set
- Dried flower petals
- Fragrance oil (optional, for an extra touch of luxury)
Instructions
Make sure your silicone molds are clean and dry. Place the wick in the center of each mold and secure it with a wick holder to ensure it stays in place during pouring.
Melt the soy wax carefully in a container (for example, a washed and dried screw-top jar) over a water bath. Be careful not to overheat the wax to avoid burning.
If you want to give your candles a special touch, you can now add wax dyes and fragrance oil. Add these in small amounts and mix well until you have achieved the desired color and fragrance strength.
Pour the melted wax carefully into the prepared silicone molds. Make sure to keep the wick in the center and distribute the wax evenly.
Once the wax has cooled slightly, but has not yet fully hardened, you can gently sprinkle the dried flower petals onto the surface of the candles.
Let the candles cool and harden completely before you remove them from the molds. This can take a few hours, depending on the room temperature and size of the candles.
Once the candles are firm, you can gently remove them from the silicone molds and present them on the SIVA decorative plate.Pack it lovingly with a beautiful ribbon or band and prepare to elicit a radiant smile from your loved one.
