Crisco Candles

I once tried my hand at making survival candles out of Crisco Oil (the solid kind) and a birthday candle. I bought these cute little cups at a rummage sale. You melt the Crisco oil on the stove top and pour it into the cup when it starts to solidify stick a birthday candle in it to use as a wick. The only down fall to these is that they smell like cooking oil when you use them.

As soon as I'm done playing through FF7 Rebirth...

I'm gonna make cookies!

And then I'll finally get to working on that Zutara fic.

Right now, I'm doing things like this:

Candles. Lots of candles.

This is my day job.

I really want to make a two layer candle the represents Zutara, but my fragrances haven't come in yet.

I'm thinking Dragon Moon and Midnight Waters for the fragrances. Both smell so freaking good.

🕯️ How to Start Candle Making at Home: A Relaxing, Creative DIY Craft

Candle making at home is a beautiful blend of creativity, mindfulness, and practicality. Whether you're crafting handmade candles as thoughtful gifts or starting a small business, it's a rewarding hobby that’s easier than you might think.

🌿 Why Make Your Own Candles?

Making candles allows you to:

Customize scents, colours, and styles

Use natural ingredients like soy wax or beeswax

Avoid harmful additives found in some store-bought candles

Create meaningful, eco-friendly gifts

🛠️ What You'll Need:

Wax (soy wax is a popular, clean-burning option)

Fragrance oils (e.g., lavender, vanilla, black cherry)

Wicks

Candle jars or containers

Double boiler or microwave-safe pitcher

Thermometer (for ideal pouring temperature)

🕯️ Candle Making Steps:

Melt the Wax – Use a double boiler to safely melt your wax to around 170–180°F (77–82°C).

Add Fragrance – Once melted, add your desired fragrance oil. A typical ratio is 1 oz of fragrance per 1 lb of wax.

Set the Wick – Secure the wick in the centre of your jar using a wick sticker or hot glue.

Pour the Wax – Carefully pour the wax into your container at around 135–145°F (57–63°C) for the best finish.

Let it Cure – Allow your candle to cool and set for at least 24–48 hours before burning for optimal scent throw.

✨ Final Thoughts

Candle making isn’t just about wax and wicks—it’s about crafting moments of calm, comfort, and connection. Whether you’re creating a soy wax candle to unwind at home or developing your own scented candle brand, like Esmeralda Candle Co., each pour is a step toward something meaningful.

Ready to start your DIY candle making journey? All it takes is a little wax, a spark of creativity, and a love for cosy spaces.

Candlestick maker

A saucepan full of wax,

Pretty normal through childhood,

Candles shaped like dicks,

Never saw one actually lit,

But mum loved describing reactions

(Men don't like burning those)

Still the average teenage years.

Perhaps they weren't for many,

Or anyone other than me,

But some crayons and wax,

Some scents from where I don't know,

And we've got candles.

Candles for school fairs,

For gifts to all the family,

For all kinds of occasions.

I still don't know an occasion

When do you light penis candles?

And what's a swearword starting 'z'?

Childhood left me with questions,

But at least I could make candles;

Doubt how useful that'll be.
