Top Candle Containers for Homemade Candles
Share:

If you haven’t figured it out yet, one of my favorite hobbies is making candles at home! Below I will walk you through the Top Candle Containers for Homemade Candles I have found thus far.

The first candle container I’d like to bring up is a glass milk jar container. This might look odd to you, but it’s one of my best sellers in my Etsy shop! They are very different and make a pretty cool looking candle!

The next candle container that is great is an amber glass jar with metal lid. I really like this specific product because it comes with metal and plastic lids. It also comes with labels you can write or print on! If you want to see a finished candle in the amber jar, check out my Etsy store.

How to make candles in 5 easy steps! Okay, Okay, I know what you’re thinking… candle-making can be dangerous and is a bit intimidating. Hot wax is scary after all.

I promise, it’s a lot easier than people think and it’s actually a lot of fun. There are many variation for your candles as well, Doris + Lotte just launched a new collection of Rustic Candles — take a look!

If you decide candle-making is just too much for you to take on, you can also go buy some clean-burning rustic soy candles in my etsy store!

Step 1: Choose Your Materials

Choosing the materials for your candles is very important. What type of wax will you use? What type of container appeals most to you? Then the uber important — do you want your candles to be clean-burning or do you want to save costs with your materials.

You should first decide what type of wax you would like to use for your candles. You can use waxes like Paraffin wax and Gel Wax. Or you can use Soy Wax. Soy Wax candles burn more cleanly and allow for you to feel better about what you’re breathing in. My preference is Goldenwax Flaked Container Soy Wax 464, 500g, White. I highly suggest spending the extra money to invest in Soy Wax. Paraffin and Gel wax is derived from Petroleum and known to cause health issues.

We have four special holiday scented soy candles a We have four special holiday scented soy candles and wax melts available for a limited time! Please consider buying from small businesses when you purchase your holiday gifts this year 💛

Merry & Bright:
Visions of snow-covered pines and arctic winds filled our minds with this scent. An outdoor, wintery scent, bottles a winter’s night chill with top notes of eucalyptus and lavender. Resinous pine is at the heart of this scent, and it rests on an herbal, woody base of rosemary, cedar, and oakmoss.

Christmas Tree Farm:
Reminiscent of freshly cut spruce, with a top-note of green fir needles, eucalyptus and a fruity nuance of pear, followed by a sweet cypress woody character and a dry balsamic base note.

Cinnamon Chai:
Cinnamon Chai captures the inviting essence of a steaming mug of this much loved, and centuries old, beverage. Top notes of cinnamon, cardamom, and orange peel awaken the heart of rich cream and spicy peppercorn, while notes of rejuvenating black tea and sweet vanilla round out the base.

Christmas Hearth: 
A classic holiday scent that tells the story of a cozy holiday night spent sipping wine in front of the fireplace. Christmas Hearth fragrance oil combines orange spice notes from the kitchen, fir and pine notes from the Christmas tree, and an earthy smokiness from the fireplace. It's Christmas Eve, in a bottle, any time.
