In this blog post, we'll show you how to make a fall-inspired candle using some simple materials. With just a few steps, you'll have a beautiful and fragrant candle to enjoy all season long.

Making Fall Candles, Step-by-Step

What says fall more than a cozy candle burning in your home? Making your own candles at home is easier than you think, and you can customize them to suit your own fall fragrance preferences. Here's a quick guide on how to make a fall candle at home:

1. Choose a Candle Jar

The first step is to choose a candle jar. You can either reuse an old jar or buy a new one specifically for your candle. If you're using a recycled jar, make sure to clean it out thoroughly before getting started.

2. Pick Your Fall Fragrance

There are so many great fall fragrances to choose from! Some of our favorites include pumpkin, apple, cinnamon, and vanilla. You can either use essential oils or fragrance oils for your candles. If you're using essential oils, make sure to use a carrier oil like jojoba oil to dilute them before adding them to the wax.

3. Melt the Wax

The next step is to melt the wax. You can either use a double boiler or a microwave to melt the wax. If you're using a microwave, be very careful not to overheat the wax.

4. Add the Fragrance

Once the wax is melted, it's time to add the fragrance. If you're using essential oils, add them now and stir well. If you're using fragrance oils, add them once the wax has cooled slightly so they don't evaporate.

5. Pour the Wax

Now it's time to pour the wax into your prepared candle jar. Be careful not to pour too quickly or the wax will splash.

6. Allow the Candle to Cool and Set

Once the wax is poured, set the jar aside and allow the candle to cool and set. This can take a few hours, so be patient! Once the candle is set, trim the wick and enjoy your new fall candle!

As you can see, making your own candles at home is easy and fun! We recommend that you try to do this with your friends or family so you can all enjoy the process together.

Top 3 Fall Candle Recipes To Try

Looking for a fun and easy way to enjoy the scents of fall without having to leave the house? Then why not try making your own candles! With just a few simple supplies and these recipes, you can create your very own soy candles in the comfort of your own home.

Crisp Apple Soy Candle

To get started, place two wood wicks into each wick clip and adhere them to the center base of each mason jar. Then, use the digital kitchen scale to measure out one pound of soy wax flakes and pour them into the candle melting pitcher.

Place the candle melting pitcher inside a pot filled with about 2 inches of water and melt the wax over medium to low heat with a gentle simmer at most, stirring often. Once the wax is melted, remove it from the heat source and add your fragrance oil. Stir slowly but constantly for 2 minutes, then carefully pour the scented wax into each prepared mason jar, avoiding the top of the wood wicks. Let your candles cool for 30 minutes to 1 hour before trimming the wicks. Cut them to approximately ⅛ an inch above the wax for the best burn rate.

And there you have it! Your very own homemade soy candles that are perfect for enjoying all the scents of fall. So why not give it a try today?

Orange & Rosemary Candle

Before you can enjoy the fragrant, warm smell of a Fall candle, you have to make it first! Fortunately, making your own orange and rosemary candle at home is easy and only requires a few ingredients.

First, melt the soy wax flakes in a double boiler or a bowl on top of a pot of boiling water. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in essential oils if using.

While the wax is melting, adhere the candle wicks to your jar. Use glue, super glue, or a bit of wax to secure the wick.

Once the wax is melted, pour it into your containers and hold the wick straight up with a clothespin or a chopstick or pencil. Let the wax set overnight and trim wicks to 1 inch.

And that's it! You now have a beautiful, homemade Orange + Rosemary Soy Candle to enjoy this Fall season.

To make this pumpkin spice candle, simply melt the wax in a slow or pressure cooker set to the slow cooking setting. Once the wax is melted, add the fragrance oil and stir. Then add the wick and allow it to stand in the center of the candle. Leave the candles in the slow cooker until the wax begins to harden, then remove and let them finish hardening on your countertop.
