I remember the first candle I made. After driving through Lion Country Safari we went to the gift shop where they had a candle machine where you put in coins and you could watch as wax poured into a mold forming your candle.
I was excited when Yelp CM Anne and Candle on Tap invited us for an interactive candle making experience.
Our candle making experience started by picking the scents we liked.
My free candle was a mix of lime and lemongrass.
Lime was a strong citrus scent while the lemongrass was a milder citrus scent. I mixed the two scents in a mini stainless steel bowl to get just the scent I wanted.
Then our assistant filled our candle container with hot wax.
I mixed the scent mixture with the hot wax. Then my candle was moved to the back counter to set.
I purchased a sunflower container to make a 2nd candle.
This time I picked a mix of grapefruit and yuzu scents.
There were lots of scents to choose from and our assistant was very helpful in suggesting scent combinations.
There were a bunch of containers you can pick from for your candle.
It was fun picking the scent combination and making your own candles at Candles on Tap. Thanks Anne and Candle Bar for inviting us here.

Such a fun experience! We’ll have to go again!
Good idea!
Very cool! Adding making a candle to the list of things I have yet to do!
Give it a try Joy. It’s fun making your own candle. 🙂
