An acquainted gifted me some left-over wax and now I have made several candles, with wooden wicks and recycled glass jars. And there is even wax left for some more, but first, I need more glass jars. 😊

And this is how I make the candles: I heat water in an old pot (do not boil). I heat the wax in a water bath, in a metal bowl with a handle. When the wax has become liquid, I remove any remaining wicks with tweezers.

Then I put the wooden wicks into small metal holders (which are specifically made for these wicks and are typically sold in a set with them) and place them in the jars. This also works without gluing them in place. Then I simply pour the wax into the jars, moving the wicks to the center of the jar if necessary.

When the wax has dried, I fill in any cavities with more liquid wax. It is best to leave the candles to dry overnight or for several hours.

Please do not be surprised: Wooden wicks crackle or creak slightly when they burn. This is normal and harmless.

✨full Candle run guide✨

Zim, here! This is the schedule I use for (mostly) full candle runs. I will be skipping over some areas that don't give much wax or aren't worth visiting. Please know that this is not a beginner's guide and doesn't have a lot of instructions on running the individual areas. This is also assuming that your home is set to Aviary Village, or your nest. With that said, here's the order I cr in!

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

☁️ Café

☁️ Daily music sheet

☁️ Village Theatre (if season of performance is completed, there will be bouquets you can pick up for wax)

☁️ Collect event tickets (if a days event is active)

☁️ If Days of Sunlight is active, sit afk in a shared space and collect wax from the balls in the water. If Days of Moonlight is active, become a chibi and stand under the table that generates balls to burn using the teamwork (8 Player Door) emote, this will automatically burn them. You may also use a shared space!

☁️ Treasure candle realm (just play the realm first, use same instructions)

☁️ Shard Eruption (if active)

☁️ Quest Realm + complete quests (if vault, continue cr in normal order while completing quests)

☁️ Starlight Desert (use wind paths entrance and collect the candle cake there)

☁️ Level 1 vault/emote door

☁️ Level 2 vault/4 player door

☁️ Level 3 vault (skip by flying up from the little building at the top until you reach level 4— this only works on floor 3 and requires 9-10 wedges)

☁️ Level 4 vault

☁️ Level 5 vault (fly towards the Jar constellation to light the lanterns, otherwise wait)

☁️ Vault's Summet

☁️ Return home, travel to Isle of Dawn and collect candles from mural caves, sand dunes, passage stone and surroundings

☁️ Butterfly Caves

☁️ Isle Temple (candles only) and nearby cave

☁️ Fly back down to the cave of prophecies, collect the treasure candle there

☁️ Trial of Fire (use shortcut)

☁️ Trial of Air (use shortcut)

☁️ Trial of Earth (use shortcut)

☁️ Trial of Water (optional, only if you're really fast as completing it or need winged light)

☁️ Go home and travel to Daylight Prairie, collect from social space and butterfly Fields

☁️ Prairie Peaks (optional, only for dye)

☁️ Prairie Caves

☁️ Villages

☁️ Bird's Nest

☁️ Sanctuary Islands (if geyser comes up, cr here when you visit)

☁️ 8 Player Door (if days of color is active, cr here while collecting tickets)

☁️ Prairie Temple (fly out window and collect candles on roof!)

☁️ Treehouse (use entrance between social space and Forest Clearing

☁️ Forest Clearing

☁️ Forest Brook

☁️ Elevated Clearing (if Grandma's bread comes up, cr here during the event)

☁️ Underground Cavern

☁️ Boneyard and Broken Bridge (use elevated Clearing entrance)

☁️ Forest Temple

☁️ Forest's End

☁️ Valley social space

☁️ Village of Dreams (skip the treasure candle near Harmony Hall)

☁️ Hermit Valley + Race (collect the treasure candle near Harmony Hall while racing back to Village of Dreams)

☁️ Slopes and Ice Rink

☁️ Citadel

☁️ Flying Race

☁️ Colosseum (not Temple yet; use the AURORA entrance back to Village of Dreams, then return to ice rink)

☁️ Sliding Race

☁️ Valley Temple

☁️ Wasteland social space and Broken Temple

☁️ Forgotten Arc (optional)

☁️ Graveyard

☁️ Crab Fields

☁️ Battlefield

☁️ Wasteland Temple

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Notes:

☁️ You can collect up to 20 candles in a day (21 if you have almost a full candle at reset) with the daily light system, however if there is not a season pass currently active, you can claim 4 extra candles from quests, meaning you will earn 24-25 candles in a day if you know what you're doing!

☁️ Trials are completely optional. Fire and Air both give 4 treasure candles, earth gives 2 and water gives 2, though it is much more difficult to shortcut through.

☁️ Avoid collecting wax from the turtle in Sanctuary Islands, and the fish in Treasure Reef. In order to collect much wax from either, you will be swimming after them for a very, very long time.

☁️ While collecting at Grandma's, place a lightable object on the placemat in order to burn bread quickly.

☁️ When AFK collecting, take this time to be productive irl. Draw something, make a snack, read a book, just take a little break from the screen for a while!

☁️ NEVER use shared memories that help you to teleport from candle-to-candle. This can get you PERMANENTLY BANNED, as it is considered hacking. Do not attempt to use a moth account as a workaround. You will still get banned.

Guide to Candle Making at Home

Learning to make candles is a pleasant way to add warmth, aroma, and personal flair to your living spaces at a time when handcrafted and personalized design is more appealing than ever. Making your own candles at home is not just a fun pastime, but an artistic endeavour that may help you relax with the peaceful flicker of a handmade candle or give loved ones a token of your creativity and heart. With the help of this beginner candle-making tutorial, you will learn all the fundamentals of candle-making and become an expert candle maker from the comfort of your own home.

Getting Started: The Basics of Candle Making

Candle-making combines simplicity and creativity, allowing you to customize everything from the scent to colour to shape. The basic supplies you need include:

Wax: The soul of your candle. Soy wax is popular for its clean burn and environmental friendliness, while beeswax enchants with its natural, sweet fragrance and air-purifying qualities.

Wicks: The heart of your candle. Cotton wicks are a go-to for a steady burn, crucial for an evenly melting candle.

Fragrance Oils: The personality of your candle. Essential oils or specially designed candle fragrances allow you to tailor your candle to any mood or preference.

Containers: The body of your candle. From sleek glass jars to rustic ceramic pots, your container says as much about your candle as the fragrance does.

Melting Pot: A double boiler or a dedicated melting pot for wax.

Thermometer: To monitor the wax temperature, ensuring it's perfect for adding fragrance.

Colour Dyes: Optional, if you wish to add a splash of colour to your candles.

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Candles at Home

Preparing Your Workspace Make sure everything in your office is tidy and nothing you don't require. Making candles may get messy, so having a designated area is ideal. Cover your work surface with old towels, newspapers, or craft paper. This helps to prevent spills and drips of wax and facilitates cleanup. Arrange all of your supplies and equipment so they are accessible. Included in this are your thermometer, double boiler, container, wick, fragrance oil, and any colouring agents you intend to employ.

Melting the Wax Put the water in the bottom pot of your double boiler on the stove. Fill the top pot with the wax and slowly melt it over medium heat. Check the wax's temperature with a thermometer. The best temperature to add fragrance to soy wax is about 185°F. Burning or evaporating the fragrance oil in the wax might result from overheating.

Adding Fragrance and Colour After the wax reaches the proper temperature, take it off the burner and allow it to cool for a short while. By doing this, the fragrance oil is kept from vanishing too soon. Add your fragrance oil and stir until well combined. As a general rule, one ounce of fragrance should be added to one pound of wax, but pay attention to the directions on the fragrance oil. Now is the time to add dye, if using. Solid dye chips can also be used, but liquid dye blends more smoothly. Add little by little and stir until the desired colour is reached.

Securing the Wick Dip the base of your wick in the melted wax, then quickly adhere it to the bottom centre of your container. This helps keep it in place. To keep the wick centred and upright as the wax cools, place a pencil, chopstick, or skewer across the top of the container and wrap or clip the top of the wick to it.

Pouring the Wax Ensure the wax is around 135°F to 145°F before pouring — this temperature range helps prevent cracking and ensures a smooth surface. Gently pour the wax into the container, leaving about half an inch at the top. Pouring too quickly can create air bubbles.

Cooling and Curing Let the candle cool to room temperature, out of the direct sunlight and drafts. This may require up to a whole day, contingent upon the candle's dimensions. Reheat the remaining wax and slowly pour it over the surface to even it out if a sinkhole appears close to the wick. Cover the candle and allow it to cure for a minimum of 48 hours after it has completely cooled. Curing enhances the perfume by allowing the fragrance oils to completely bind with the wax.

Finishing Touches Trim the wick to about ¼ inch above the wax. This helps ensure an even burn and prevents the flame from getting too large. Use warm, soapy water to clean your tools. Wax is easier to clean while it's still slightly warm.

Why Make Your Own Candles?

Beyond the satisfaction of creating something beautiful, making your own candles allows you to control the quality of the ingredients, ensuring they are environmentally friendly and safe to burn in your home. It's also a wonderful way to personalise candle gifts to friends and family, infusing them with your personal touch and affection.

Ready, Set, Create!

Candle-making is not just an activity; it's a way to personalize your space, create meaningful gifts, and enjoy the tranquillity of crafting something beautiful and functional. With the basics down, you’re ready to embark on a journey of creativity and relaxation, making your own candles at home with ease and confidence.

I feel like Alex and Olli both have exactly the same ’candle and red wine’-vibe

I know right?? 🥺💕

[azaisya]

every time i try to learn how to draw in perspective (specifically 1pt perspective) my artist friends are always like oh its easy! you just need a vanishing point and orthogonal lines etc etc. and i (not trained in art. trained in scenic design) ask how do i know what scale to use. and they can never tell me

like i understand how to scale along the x-axis and y-axis walls but not along the z-axis and it's messing me up. help. does anybody who follows me know how to do this

[fandom-is-my-drug]

I’m concerned as to HOW someone can make such a concoction, but then I remember the recipe to mustard gas is literally household cleaning products…

I can't stop thinking about this reddit post on soapmaking dude

I cannot express what an insane recipe that is. No one else could grasp it either

Like beeswax doesn't. It kinda just stays as beeswax in the soap. The lye has nowhere to go with it. That liquid seeping out of the soap? The brown and clear drops?? That's lye. That's straight up lye. This mf made the soap equivalent of the Chernobyl elephants foot.
