What Materials Do You Need to Make Scented Jar Candles?
Starting with the right materials ensures a smooth candle making experience.
You will need:
-
100% natural soy wax
-
Cotton or wooden wicks
-
Candle-safe fragrance oils
-
Heat-resistant jars
-
Wick stickers or glue
-
Double boiler for melting wax
At Karessa Candles, we use premium soy wax and high-quality fragrance oils to create luxurious candles you’ll love.
How Do You Prepare Your Jar for Candle Making?
Before pouring, make sure your jar is clean and dry.
Warm the jar slightly to help the wax adhere better.
Secure the wick in the center using a wick sticker or a dab of hot glue.
Our Karessa Candle Jars are specially chosen for their beauty and safety, making them perfect for luxurious candles!
How Do You Melt and Mix Your Wax and Fragrance?
Melt your soy wax slowly in a double boiler until it reaches around 185°F.
Remove from heat and add your fragrance oil (typically 6–10% of the wax weight).
This method ensures your candles, just like our handmade soy candles, have a rich and lasting aroma.
What’s the Best Way to Pour Wax into the Jar?
Allow the wax to cool slightly to 120°F–135°F before pouring.
Carefully pour the wax into your prepped jar, keeping the wick centered.
This slow, careful pouring method is one reason Karessa Candles achieves that flawless finish in our luxurious handmade candles.
How Long Should You Let Jar Candles Cure?
Patience is key!
Let your candles cure for at least 7–14 days before lighting them to maximize fragrance throw.
At Karessa Candles, every candle you see in our hand-poured collection has been carefully cured to perfection for the richest scent experience.
