HOW TO MAKE GEL CANDLES

Honestly this is super easy.

Our Craftiviti gel wax comes in sachets of 100ml packs.
These packs are quick squeeze packaging - just uncap and squeeze the gel out.
You can choose between the many colors available such as red, yellow, purple, blue, green and white.

First, pick a really awesome-looking glass container.
You can recycle a used jar or get a tiny cup like we did.
Next, glue a wick to the bottom of the jar. You can do so with blue tag, super glue or a hot glue gun.

With a little finger muscle, squeeze the gel out of the packet into the jar. It comes out in clumps but don't you worry, it'll smoothen out with a little bit of fire. 

The best thing about gel wax is that it is see through which means you can embed just about anything into your candles. Here we embedded some tiny shells into the candle. We could put more but we only had three shells. So if you have more, go wild!

You could also embed clay miniature objects, legos, dried leafs or flowers, pebbles or marbles. 

Also, get more than one color of gel wax and layer them up. Gorgeous!

Next, LIGHT IT UP. Unlike other candles such as paraffin wax or beeswax, there is no waiting or cooling time. Just light it up immediately!
You'll notice that gel wax burns very strong and long.
And gradually the wax surface tends to melt into a nice shiny top.

Just a note to self, gel wax is paraffin based and is not a natural wax like soy wax or palm wax. Gel wax tends to last longer, retains scents well and is not so picky with the wicks. It also creates beautiful transparent liquid candles.
