Candle-making might seem complicated at first, but with the right supplies and guidance, it’s an incredibly rewarding and fun activity. At Candlehaven.ca, we offer everything you need to get started—just follow our step-by-step guide below to create your own festive candles that will wow your friends and family.
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before you begin, it’s essential to have everything you need within arm’s reach. You can find all these items on Candlehaven.ca, and during our monster sale, you’ll enjoy significant discounts!
Here’s what you’ll need:
• Wax: Choose between Soy Wax, which is perfect for beginners, or our luxurious Coco Apricot Wax for an extra smooth finish.
• Wicks: We offer a wide selection of wicks to suit any container size. Make sure to pick the right one to ensure an even burn.
• Fragrance Oils: Pick your favorites from our Holiday Collection. For a truly festive experience, try scents like Cinnaberry Bliss, Christmas Fir, or Eggnog Latte.
• Color Dyes: Want to add a pop of holiday color? Choose from our range of candle dyes—perfect for creating festive red, green, or sparkling gold candles.

• Enhancements: Make your candles stand out with unique elements like diamond sparkle dust and opal mini chips. These exclusive enhancements add a touch of magic that you won’t find anywhere else!
Step 2: Melt the Wax
Melt your wax using a double boiler method. If you’re unsure how to set up a double boiler, check out our detailed guide on melting candle wax. We recommend melting the wax until it reaches a temperature of around 180°F (82°C) for the best results.
Step 3: Add Color and Fragrance
Once your wax has melted, it’s time to add fragrance and color. Stir in your chosen fragrance oil at a ratio of approximately 1 ounce per pound of wax to achieve the perfect scent throw. For holiday candles, Cinnaberry Bliss or Christmas Fir are great choices that fill the room with festive aromas.
If you want to color your candles, add dye until you reach your desired shade. Our candle dyes are highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way.
Step 4: Pour the Wax and Add Enhancements
Once everything is thoroughly mixed, it’s time to pour your wax into your chosen container or mold. Make sure to secure your wick in the center using a wick holder to keep it straight as the wax sets.
Now, for the fun part! If you want to make your candles sparkle, sprinkle a bit of diamond sparkle dust into the wax before it sets, or arrange opal mini chips on top. These unique additions will elevate your candles and make them a standout gift.
Step 5: Let the Candles Set
Allow your candles to set for at least 24 hours in a cool, dry place. Patience is key here—letting the candles fully cure will help them burn evenly and maximize scent throw.
Step 6: Trim the Wick and Enjoy
Once your candles are fully set, trim the wick to about ¼ inch (6 mm) for the perfect burn. Your holiday candles are now ready to be gifted, or better yet, to light up your own cozy space!
