Create Something Unique

Once you’re used to candle making, it’s easy to stick to one lane. Don’t get us wrong, this one lane is great and it’s trustworthy – people are still calling for simplistic jars and scented candles.

As a creator, however, some of the most exciting maker moments come when you begin branching out. As a novice candle maker, you might have started with the basics. And, if you’ve not got that far yet, take a read of this handy step-by-step guide to get you started with a gorgeous, simple, and effective Raindrop GEO candle and let us know how you get on.

To spice things up a little, however, you might want to start candle making but do so whilst delving straight into the fun stuff, in which case, you’ve come to the right place to learn about the endless opportunities to branch out.

It's all about accessories. Wax is a wonderful thing, and it can be accessorised to be even better. You have copious choices to enhance your wax including liquid dyes, glitters, and even crystals. Trial out creating coloured candles, sparkly candles, or medicinal candles.

Being unique, isn’t just about adding extras, however. It can be about how your candle is presented in the first place. We have a vast range of candle containers that are stand out and statement pieces. From supersized candle bowls that will mean your candle making really makes an impact, to funky shaped vessels like our new Ceramic Baguettes range that work as stunningly unique home décor pieces.

When it comes to fragrance oils, there are endless options to choose from too. You can branch out from what you know and discover new scents that tickle your fancy. From classic scents like Lavender Calm and Cashmere Vanilla + Sea Salt Caramel, to lesser-known scents like Wild Hemp or Watermelon Slice + Kiwi, there’s something for everyone. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different scents to create something truly unique. Our top tip would be to get hold of our sample size fragrance oils and have a little experimentation of your own until you find you new favourites.

 

From Candles to Melts

Another fun option to explore is wax melt making. Wax melts are becoming increasingly popular, especially among those who want a flame-free option for home fragrance. Wax melts are essentially scented wax cubes that are melted in a wax warmer and throw their scent into a room. They’re easy to make and can be sold as a standalone product or as an addition to your existing candle line. Plus, you can make them on a small scale to simply make them for yourself.
