It is possible to make your own candles at home and with natural ingredients. Take a vegetable based wax, a container, a wick, and some essential oils. To start you will need to melt the wax, put it in your container, and then add the wick. You can put some of the essential oils in first, and then put some wax in and then some more oil in, that way the fragrance will be in the entire candle, but the wax will pick up the scent of whatever essential oil you decide to use. Then you just need to suspend your wick with a stick and let the wax harden. You can use different essential oils to create different atmospheres and to create different aromatherapy experiences. Lavender for relaxation or even clove and lemon for stimulation. You can use a combination of lots of different scents for many different things. Most of your candles will not be colored though because you will not be using commercials dyes to make the candles different colors. |
