Step-by-Step: How to Make Your Soy Candle
Step 1: Melt the Wax
Measure 150 g of BW-924 wax into the beaker and melt it using a double boiler at 75°C (165°F).
Step 2: Prepare Your Jar
Attach the wood wick to the clip and place it in the center of your glass candle jar. Make sure it’s stable before pouring.
Step 3: Add Candle Dye (Optional)
For an autumnal orange tone, add 1–2 drops of the orange liquid dye when the wax reaches about 70°C (160°F). Stir gently until the color is fully blended and even throughout.
Step 4: Add the Fragrance
When the wax cools to around 65°C (150°F), stir in 10% fragrance load (about 15 g of Spice Delight fragrance oil). Mix for 1–2 minutes.
Step 5: Pour and Cure
Slowly pour the wax into your jar. Let it cool undisturbed for 48 hours before trimming the wick.
Personalization Tips
- Add a handwritten label or twine wrap around the jar.
- Blend small amounts of different fragrance oils for a custom fall scent.
- Gift your finished candle to friends and family — handmade always feels special.
Why Choose Coconut & Apricot Wax
Our BW-924 blend combines creamy coconut and smooth apricot wax for a cleaner, more consistent burn. It offers excellent fragrance retention, an even surface finish, and reduced soot output — ideal for makers who care about performance and sustainability.
Safety & Storage Tips
- Never heat wax unattended.
- Keep wicks trimmed to ¼ inch.
- Store finished candles away from direct sunlight.
- Burn for a maximum of 3 hours at a time for best results.
Final Touch: Enjoy Your Autumn Glow
Once cured, light your handmade candle and enjoy the cozy crackle of the wood wick as the seasonal fragrance fills your space. Crafted with clean wax, natural ingredients, and mindful design — your DIY candle will bring warmth and light to every fall evening.
