It’s not a secret that I’m not a rich witch. So if I can cut corners and get the same results, I will.
What you’ll need:
Toilet paper or paper towel roll
Tape
Wick or yarn
Wax (Soy, Palm, Bees, even Coconut oil or Shortening will work!)
Disposable Can or Jar
Flat Cookie Sheet
Saucepan
Water
Pencil
Alright first things first, getting your candle mold.
To the left is a paper towel roll, the right is the toilet paper roll. I personally prefer the paper towel roll cut in half; look how much more you get!
Next, get your tape and make a cross sticky side up like this
Stick your roll in the middle and smooth the tape flush against the sides. Now, take as much tape as you can and wrap it around the base with the rest of the tape. This step is SO important! If it’s not secure you get the mess I have below
Now secure your wick in the middle of the mold. Mine were pre tabbed so I had to tape them to the pencil to center them (Such a pain, by far my least fav part😒)
If you have yarn just tie it to the middle of the pencil, dip it as far as you can in wax, then place it in the middle of the mold like shown.
Now, get a saucepan filled a quarter of the water with water on the stove. Put it on simmer.
Place your can or jar in the saucepan (I used an olive jar thoroughly cleaned out.) Put in your wax little at a time to speed up the melting process.
Once melted, add in any color or scent and stir with a disposable utensil. (This is optional, if you want a simple white scentless candle then skip this step.)
Pour the wax in the mold carefully, hopefully it doesn’t leak.🤞
Let it sit for a few hours to cool. If you have a hole in the middle(I did) just pour more wax into it and let cool for another hour.
Cut at the top where the seam of the roll is here
Sometimes they stick and other times it will unravel right off the candle.
