hey makers it's mel today on maker's moments i'm going to show you how to
make a candle using our deluxe satin soy wax blend
the deluxe satin soy wax blend is an amazing blend of food grade paraffin and soy waxes and is super
creamy and easy to work with beginner friendly biodegradable renewable vegan and absolutely
wonderful so let's get started when making a candle if you haven't already go ahead and
get your double boiler set up or your wax melter set up and make sure that you have a
clean working space we've put drop cloths down or whatever you like to use to get ready for
your candle making process today we're going to be utilizing our aura vessel our copper aura to
be exact and it is so beautiful i am such a fan of copper rose gold just has this really classy
fun classy fall feel to it we're going to be utilizing our birch bark and ripe fig sapling
fragrance today this fragrance is a little smoky it's a little woody just really reminiscent
of fall and we're going to be pairing that with our smoky quartz points and our citrine
mini chips today for a really fun aesthetic i'll show you guys at the end of the video
so when getting ready with your wax we're going to be using 11 ounces of wax today i've gone
ahead and pre-measured 11 ounces of wax on my digital scale over here and i'm just going to
go ahead and pop that in my pouring pitcher and we're going to go ahead and get that melting
be right back
so once you have your wax on your melter we're going to go ahead and assemble our wooden wick
go ahead and take your vessel and your wooden wick today we're going to be utilizing our .03
crackling booster that is the appropriate wick for our deluxe satin soy wax and we're using a
.625 width for the auravesel today you're going to go ahead and rock that into your wood clip here
and then once you have that assembled you're going to take your handy dandy wick sticker
and stick that on the bottom of your wick clip
just like that and then go ahead and stick it into the center of your aura vessel
just like that so once your vessel and your wick are ready to go you can go ahead
and set that aside for a moment and we're going to go and get our fragrance measured
so i have my small pouring pitcher here and i'm going to put that on our scale
and tear that out this wax holds approximately between 10 and 12 percent fragrance load really
easily so we're going to be using a 10 fragrance load today that's one of my favorite measurements
for candles because it gives you a really good throw without being overly excessive or too strong
it's a perfect to me it's like the perfect fo load so we're going to go ahead and pour 1.1 ounces of
fragrance today which is the equivalent of our 10 fragrance load and i absolutely love
this fragrance it's just so woody with a little bit of green notes to it and then i'm going to go
ahead and grab my wax the appropriate mix and pour temperature for the deluxe satin soy is
between approximately 180 and 190 degrees i'm at about 166 right now so that's absolutely perfect
and then i'm going to go ahead and take my fragrance pour it into my melted wax
do a little dance
and then we'll go ahead and stir you want to make sure that you stir your wax with your
fragrance for at least two minutes that's because you want to make sure that your
fragrance and your wax fully combine then really really nice thing about this wax particularly
is that it contains a heat antioxidant that actually protects your wax from discoloration
there are a lot of wax blends out there that when you mix your fragrance in a lot of times
over time discoloration will occur based on the naturally occurring chemical pigments
in your fragrances this antioxidant helps protect it and maintain its nice nice white
creamy color without having to worry about that happening so super super excited about that
once you have your wax and fragrance fully combined you'll go ahead and pour your candle
when pouring your candle you're going to want to make sure that you leave
approximately a half inch at the top of your vessel and we're going to pour gently on the side
just like that fragrance is so good and now you have your candle you're going to go ahead and want
to let that sit and solidify fully for 24 hours we recommend that you let your candles cure for
at least 72 hours for maximum fragrance throw and then once this wax sets it has this really really
wonderful sheen to it um it has a really nice top and i absolutely love it and i've decorated
it with the citrine crystal points and the smoky quartz as you can see here so once your candle has
fully cooled you can go ahead and trim the wick to approximately 0.2 inches or 3 16 inch above your
wax and then i like to take a heat gun after it's fully solidified heat gun the top and then i like
to decorate with the crystals on top so there you have a wonderfully fall inspired candle utilizing
our copper aura and our deluxe satin soy wax today again it's a beautiful creamy blend of
soy and food grade paraffin super easy to work with it contains a heat antioxidant that
helps protect you from discoloration and it's a great vegan beginner friendly wax to work with
