Moulded candles

Molten wax in moulds

Chopsticks keep the wicks central

Cooling

Candles removed from moulds

and wicks trimmed

We added drops of essential oils to make scented candles - one cedar, one lavender.

The candles were quick to pour so this method is faster than making dipped candles, but it still begins with the long process of melting the wax, which warms the kitchen and provides a gentle aroma of honey.
