A step-by-step guide on how to make Sand Candles
Believe us when we say it is an effortless process. Here’s what you need to do:
Collect all required materials
Mentioned below are materials you will need to make Sand Candle:
- Candle Pearls™ Sand wax
- Suitable Container, ideally 3” wide or more
- Lova Wicks (included with your sand wax purchase)
1. Pour the Candle Pearls Sand wax into a container of your choice
Simply, pour the sand wax into any fireproof container, keeping in mind they are large enough (ideally 3” and wider) to keep the melt pool away from the edges of the container. For 5” vessels and wider check out our Pearled Wax it creates a wider but thinner wax pool, burns brighter, longer and does not tunnel.
2. Insert the wick with about 1/4th tip above the surface:
The wick's length should be sufficient to light it. If you leave it more than that, your candle will burn more swiftly.
Also, keep in mind that your vessel should be wide enough so the melt pool doesn’t touch the edge of the container. The wax pool of sand candles is about 2.5” wide. If you are using a large container that can accommodate more than 1 wick, remember to put each one of them at least 1 inch apart.
3. Light it up
That’s it you’ve now created the perfect Sand Candle. Go ahead, light it, and enjoy!
4. Store the unused Sand
After using the candles, put out the flame. Once the wax has cooled down, remove the wick, and keep the rest of the wax for future use or place it into an airtight container for future use. Pro Tip: in windy conditions, using two wicks simultaneously can help maintain a stronger flame.
