Making a Gel Candle - The perfect Gift

We all give gifts to our loved ones, friends and acquaintances. We go out, buy a gift from a shop, wrap it up and give it away. Although this may be a nice surprise for the recipient, it does not compare to a gift that you have made. That personal touch way surpasses the normal unemotional buy it wrap it give it process.

That phrase "it's the thought that counts" applies here. The thought has more value than the gift. If you spent a whole load of money on something, I'm sure it will be well received. However, if you made a little something that you put thought, time and effort in to, the results are amazing.

 
Why not give something that is beautiful, simple to make, and delivers the impact you would like to give.

Learn how to make gel candles as gifts

 
1. Prepare the following materials:

• Ceramic containers like mugs or any fancy-shaped figurine that could hold the candle wax when melted and cooled. Glasses are also great.
• Gel wax,
• Candle wicks
• Pencils
• Pot (for melting wax)
• Candle scent and color (non alcohol-base)
• Sharp scissors

2. With the use of a pencil, twine the wick around it but leave some of the wick free that it could reach the bottom part of the candle container. It must be straight down the center of the container.

3. Put the pencil with the twined wick on top of the container; allow the wick to hang down the center of the container. As what the directions tell, melt the wax by cutting them into cubes first to hasten the melting.

4. Add color and scent but make sure that they will not make the wax cloudy.

5. After the melting, pour the gel wax into the container you have prepared. Fill the container but set a limit. Before getting to the next step, make sure that the wax turned gel fully cools down.

6. Check out the wick if it really takes the focal point of the container.

7. Trim the wick to ¼ of its total length.

8. You could tie a ribbon around it or stick a piece of fancy paper with a special message or a mini-picture of the receiver. Give it with the purest sincerity.
