WaxPoetry DIY Candle Making Kit Instructions

Hi friend - thanks for purchasing WaxPoetry DIY Candle Making Kit! If you're reading this, you're probably a candle lover just like we are. You're in good company. Let's make a candle!

First, let's check to be sure you have all of the supplies you need. Here's what's included in your kit:

Your kit should include:

• 1 wooden wick + wick holder
• wick sticker
• stir stick
• packet of soy wax
• candle vessel
• fragrance oil
• dried flowers

Here's what you'll need that's not included:

• a glass or ceramic microwave safe bowl or container (make sure it holds 16 oz+)
• a microwave
• scissors or nail clippers

Let's get started!

Instructions:

1. Place all of the materials from your kit on a sturdy table or counter
2. Remove the paper from each side of your wick sticker (it's a 2 sided sticker)
3. Place the wick sticker on the bottom of the metal piece of the wick holder (this will allow the wick & wick holder to stick to the vessel)
4. Secure the wick & wick holder inside of your candle vessel, ensuring it's centered
5. Pour the entire packet of soy wax into your glass/ceramic container
6. Place the container of wax in the microwave for 30 seconds (cover with a paper town or microwave cover)
7. After 30 seconds, check to see if the wax is fully melted - if it's not, microwave for another 30 seconds
8. Once the wax is fully melted - carefully remove the container from the microwave with a pot holder or oven mitt (container will be hot)
9. Pour the melted wax into your candle vessel - be careful, the wax will be hot
10. Pour the entire bottle of fragrance oil into the candle vessel 
11. Use your stir stick to blend the wax & fragrance oil in the candle vessel for 2 minutes
12. Once blended, sprinkle the dried flowers into the candle vessel if desired
13. Allow candle to cool for 1-1.5 hours until fully solid 
14. Once solid, use your scissors or trimmer to trim the wooden wick to 1/4 inches

Your candle is ready!! Allow your candle to set for a minimum of 24 hours before burning.
