The Candle Works – Candle Making Basic Kit

This isn’t your average candle kit. It’s a thoughtfully assembled set of tools and materials—built around ease, durability, and the deep satisfaction of making something beautiful with your own hands.

Whether you’re crafting your first candle or returning to an old favorite pastime, this kit is designed to make it simple and successful from the very first pour. With easy-release molds, long-lasting tools, and clear, warm guidance, it's the kind of project that actually gets used—not just admired on a shelf.

Key Features and Benefits

• Multipurpose components: All containers and tools are reusable for future batches. Just restock the wax and wicks to keep making.

Detailed Description

The Candle Works Basic Kit includes everything you need to make your own votive, tea light, and container candles using pure beeswax. Designed with ease of use in mind, the silicone mold offers a smooth, no-stick release, while the metal wax melting pot fits easily into a double boiler for safe, even melting.

The instructions walk you through every step—from prepping your molds to trimming your finished candle. Along the way, you’ll find thoughtful touches: how to use a dowel and clothes pin to hold your wick steady, how to safely center it, and even the final tip from our founder’s grandmother—light your candle once and blow it out for good luck.
