We love that it contains a lot of wax and supplies.
Most of the price is the Candle Maker Plus, a countertop machine that measures, melts, and stirs the wax and tells you when to add fragrance. The kit adds 12 jars with black twist lids, soy wax, wicks, wick stickers, five fragrance oils, and caution labels. The machine and wick bars are reusable for future batches.

The heat plate eliminates all of the guess work.

It does everything for them and their first candle turned out perfect on the first try.
Two soy candles in iridescent tumblers, with soy wax, wicks, wick stickers, Baja Cactus Blossom and Baccarat Rouge 540 (type) fragrance oils, caution labels, and step-by-step instructions with a video to follow. The wick bars are yours to reuse.
For a first try or a gift, the Beginner's DIY kit makes two soy candles with step-by-step instructions. For a full first batch, the Container Soy or Container Paraffin kit makes about 22 candles and includes the pouring pot and thermometer you will keep using.
Should I choose the soy or the paraffin kit?
Both kits include the same jars, lids, and fragrance oils. Soy pours a creamy, matte top; paraffin pours a smooth top known for a strong hot throw. Our soy vs. paraffin comparison covers the differences between the waxes and how they perform.
What else do I need besides the kit?
For the container kits, you need a heat source and a saucepan of water to melt the wax in the included pouring pot as a double boiler. Wax should never be melted over direct heat. Our guide to heating and pouring wax walks through the setup step by step.
Are your candle making kits good for adults and gifts?
Yes. The kits use the same wax, wicks, and fragrance oils we sell to production candle makers. The Beginner's DIY kit, with its iridescent tumblers, is the easiest to give.
