5 Reasons YOU should Join One Of Our Fall Candle Making Classes

Burning Your Candle

When burning your candle for the first time, make sure to burn it from edge to edge (aka - burning the candle until the entire top is melted).

This will help to protect your candle against tunneling, which can occur if you burn your candle for a short amount of time, it will only melt in the middle, producing an inconsistent wax pool.

Your Candle Wick

Trim your wicks about one-fourth an inch between burns. This will protect your candle from producing a flame that can become hazardous.

This will also ensure that your candle burns down evenly in the jar each time it is lit and the candle will not burn as fast, which will enhance the life of your candle.
