How To Make Crock Pot Candles

Crafty Crock Pot Candles Tutorial By bonzaiaphrodite.com

Today’s feature is from Bonzai Aphrodite with this tutorial for Homemade Holidays: Crock Pot Candles:

All you need is some wax, some wicks + wick bases, and some candle-holders. I used soy wax because it’s vegan and I think it makes superior quality candles (just my preference, I love soy candles!). It’s available at any craft store along with a selection of other options. I used precut wicks that came in their bases, because they were really cheap. But you can also buy wick string and cut it yourself. Both are available at the craft store.

For candle holders, I just used a bunch of shot glasses I’d purchased years ago for a party, and never even opened. You could also upcycle your old candle holders, or hit the thrift stores for anything from shot glasses to tea cups, whatever you can imagine can become a funky candle holder.

These are so easy to make! All you need is a few hours to monitor the crockpot while the wax melts and once it’s melted, you put the wicks in place, turn the crockpot off and go do other crafty things while the candles cool and harden. What a lovely handmade gift idea!
