Essential Supplies and DIY Candle Making Recipes

If you’re new to candle making projects, the key to success is having the right supplies and tools on hand. Bramble Berry offers a full selection of DIY candle supplies waxes, oils, and tools that cater to different styles and needs, whether you’re crafting for personal use, gifts, or starting a small business.

Types of Wax:
  • Soy Wax: Eco-friendly and perfect for beginners, soy wax is easy to work with, has a decent scent throw, and burns cleanly for a long-lasting candle.
  • Beeswax: Pure and unrefined, beeswax is an all-natural product that creates beautiful, long-burning candles with a subtle honey scent.
  • Paraffin Wax: A traditional and cost-effective choice, paraffin is ideal for achieving vibrant colors and strong scent throws.
Types of Oils:
  • Fragrance Oils: Known for being user-friendly, these oils are specifically formulated to create strong, lasting scents in your candles, and you have significantly more choices when it comes to selecting fragrances.
  • Essential Oils: If you prefer a natural alternative, essential oils provide soothing, aromatic benefits. These oils are great for creating calming or invigorating atmospheres.

Pro Tip: Make sure you consult the wax product information to learn what generally works best for achieving the right wax to oil ratio for ideal scent throw, and for what temperature the wax should be when you mix in the oil. 

Basic Tools You’ll Need:
  • Double Boiler: Essential for melting your wax safely and evenly.
  • Thermometer: Keeps track of the temperature to ensure your wax is heated and cooled properly.
  • Stir Stick or Spoon: Helps to mix in fragrance or essential oils evenly.
  • Wick Holders: These keep your wicks centered while the wax sets.
  • Measuring Tools: Accurate measurements are key for the right wax-to-scent ratio.
  • Heat-Safe Containers: Glass jars, tin containers, or silicone molds are great options depending on the look you’re going for.
Fun Candle Ideas to Spark Inspiration

Ready to get creative with your DIY candle projects? Here are a few candle ideas to inspire you:

  • Layered Candles: Combine different wax colors and fragrances in layers to create a visually stunning, multi-sensory experience.
  • Massage Candles: Made with skin-safe oils, when these candles melt the wax can be poured onto the skin as a soothing body lotion or massage oil. 
  • Decorative Pillar Candles: Create tall, elegant pillars that make for beautiful home décor.
  • Travel Tin Candles: Perfect for on-the-go or gifting, these candles are compact and convenient.
  • Holiday-Themed Candles: Customize colors and fragrances for seasonal creations, like pumpkin spice for fall or peppermint for winter.
