How a candle gets to the shelf
Making a candle comes down to a few careful steps. Ask us about the wax, wicks or oils in any of ours.
- 1
Melt and blend
The wax is warmed slowly and the fragrance is stirred in at the temperature that blend needs.
- 2
Pour and set the wick
Each vessel is filled, the wick is centred, and the candle is left alone to set.
- 3
Rest, trim and label
Once cured, the wick is trimmed, the lid goes on and the label is added before it goes on the shelf.
Burn it well
A few habits make a candle burn evenly, smell stronger and last longer. Questions about a particular candle? Call (828) 555-0142.
The first burn
Let the melted wax reach the edge of the jar before you blow it out, which often takes a couple of hours. Wax remembers its first melt, so a short first burn leaves a tunnel down the middle.
Trimming the wick
Before each light, trim a cotton wick to about a quarter inch. A long wick makes a tall, flickering flame, soot on the glass and a faster burn. Wooden wicks only need the charred tip snapped off.
How long to burn it
Up to about four hours at a time. After that, blow it out, let it cool and trim the wick before lighting it again.
When to stop
Stop when about half an inch of wax is left in the bottom, so the glass doesn't get too hot. Never leave a lit candle alone, and keep it away from drafts, curtains, children and pets.
Reusing the jar
Put the empty jar in the freezer for an hour and the last of the wax pops out. Wash it in warm soapy water and it's ready for pens, cotton buds or a cutting from the garden.
