How to Make Your Own Taper Candles at Home | Domainelumiere
Making your own taper candles at home
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make your own taper candles:
Materials Needed:
Candle wicks
Candle wax (paraffin wax or beeswax)
Candle dye (optional)
Candle fragrance (optional)
Heat-resistant container for melting wax (e.g., double boiler or metal pitcher)
Thermometer
Taper candle molds
Mold release spray (optional)
Pencils or dowels for centering wicks
Scissors or a wick trimmer
Wax paper or parchment paper
Step 1: Prepare the Candle Wicks Cut the candle wicks to the desired length for your taper candles, leaving a few inches extra on each end for handling. If using a mold with a hole at the bottom, thread the wicks through the holes and knot them at the bottom to secure them. If using a mold without a hole, attach the wicks to the bottom of the mold with a small piece of tape or adhesive putty, and ensure they are centered.
Step 2: Melt the Candle Wax Melt the candle wax in a heat-resistant container using a double boiler or a metal pitcher placed in a pot of boiling water. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature and ensure the wax is melted at the appropriate temperature, usually around 160-180°F (70-80°C) for paraffin wax or 140-160°F (60-70°C) for beeswax. If desired, you can add candle dye or fragrance to the melted wax at this stage, following the manufacturer's instructions for the appropriate amount.
Step 3: Prepare the Candle Molds Spray the Taper Candle molds with mold release spray if desired to facilitate easy removal of the candles once they are set. Place the molds on a flat surface lined with wax paper or parchment paper to catch any drips.
Step 4: Pour the Wax into the Molds Carefully pour the melted wax into the taper candle molds, filling them up to the desired height. Keep the molds steady and avoid moving them until the wax has completely cooled and solidified.
Step 5: Cool and Set the Candles Allow the candles to cool and set for several hours or overnight, depending on the type of wax and the size of the candles. Avoid disturbing the molds or the candles while they are setting.
Step 6: Remove the Candles from the Molds Once the candles have fully set, gently tap the molds or flex them to release the candles. If needed, you can use a pencil or dowel to help push the candles out of the molds from the bottom.
Step 7: Trim and Finish the Candles Trim the excess wick from the top of the candles to the desired length using scissors or a wick trimmer. You can also smooth out any rough edges with your fingers or a warm knife. Optionally, you can further decorate or finish the candles with additional coloring, embellishments, or a final polish.
And that's it! You have successfully made your own taper candles at home. Remember to always exercise caution when working with hot wax and follow proper safety precautions, such as using heat-resistant containers, working in a well-ventilated area, and keeping a fire extinguisher nearby. Enjoy your handmade taper candles and the warm ambiance they can bring to your home!
