You can gift this kit directly to your friends, or gift them with your homemade product, either way, they'll be overjoyed with the quality of the kit, and the fact that the resulting candles will look and smell like they've come straight from a high-end store.  

If you'd like to spread a little warmth and love to your friends during the festive season, why not make them some beeswax candles? You'll get eight little candle tins all beautifully designed with colourful patterns that look stylish and fashionable.

The ingredients in this kit are of good quality as well, with 100% pure beeswax and braided wicks to allow a slow and consistent burn. The easy-to-work-with wax ensures no failures in the project and you'll get satisfying products that will please you and your friends. 

Another popular product from House of Crafts, only this time you get to work with beeswax in two different forms: either with natural beeswax sheet or pellets. Simply cut the sheets according to your preferred size and roll them up along with a wick, and your candle is ready.

The kit also comes with two glass containers to which you can pour in the beeswax pellet and enjoy the warm, bright light that resembles sunlight. Choose the style of beeswax candle you prefer and inhale the subtle honey aroma while it burns slowly.

Is your teen looking for new craft projects to do at home? This kit could be the next one! They can achieve a sense of accomplishment by individually crafting the candles, whilst being safely challenged by using kitchenware to carefully melt the wax. The plastic mould comes in two different designs, a star and a cone, which make relatively big candles.

However, the kit only comes with two dye colours which might not bring as much excitement as a teen would like, and they would probably need to mix both to achieve a new colour. But if they decide this shall be their new hobby, this reusable mould set will be their new best mate!

It's always nice to do a parent-and-child project as you get to spend some fun and quality time together. Safe and non-toxic, this kit contains five coloured waxes and seven adorable moulds shaped like leaves, butterflies and more. It comes with a colourful guidebook including interesting science facts that perhaps will unlock your child's curiosity towards the subject. 

Adults too could enjoy this kit, as long as you don't mind that it is primarily aimed at kids and probably less challenging than similar products. But whether you're an adult or a child, you'll both enjoy seeing the fun and colourful final products. 

We know there are some advanced candle-makers out there and this kit is especially for them. The kit contains all the necessary ingredients of wax, candle wicks and a wick centring tool. And with more than 2 kilos of soy wax, you'll be able to make quite a few candles before you need to re-stock your wax! 

Since this product only contains the minimum materials, you'll only be able to create your signature candle if you have the supplies at home such as colour dye, fragrance oil, and most importantly, candle pots or tins.

Not sure how and where to start with candle-making? This kit has you covered. Besides a melting pot and stirring spoon, you'll even get a thermometer so you know when exactly to add the fragrance oil and pour the wax into the tins. Many customers have reported that the instructions are very easy to follow too.

Sadly, some customers also say that the wick is a bit thin which makes the flames burn weakly. This causes a problem where only the centre of the wax is melted and the wick gradually soaks up the wax, resulting in it failing to light.
