Easy homemade scented candles

Candles make your home really cosy or are ideal gifts – especially when they spread a fine fragrance after being lit. With just a few ingredients, you can easily make these little lights yourself at home. Personalise your scented candles with a customised decoration. Whether it's elegant labels, delicate ribbons or atmospheric photos – there are no limits to your creativity. Once the candles have been extinguished, the lid ensures that the fragrance is retained for longer.

Melt wax properly

You can easily melt the rapeseed coconut wax in the handy starter wax melting pot for home use (Art. 9469). The double wall of the pot is filled with water - the wax does not overheat. Or you can simply use an old tin and a saucepan. This allows you to melt the wax safely in a water bath and avoid overheating.

Step-by-step instructions

Pour rapeseed coconut wax scented candles in a jar:
Step 1

Do not overfill the wax melter with water. Follow the appliance instructions. Heat the water to a low temperature. Water must not boil, otherwise it will splash out of the filler opening. It is essential to avoid splashing water into the wax.

Step 2

Rub any drops of water dry before placing the wax in the container. Melt the rapeseed coconut wax in a water bath at approx. 75°C. This takes about half an hour.

Step 3

Whilst the wax is melting slowly, the jars can be fitted with the wicks (wick for 340 ml Weck jar, SKU 10891, for 160 ml Weck jars and apothecary jars, item no. 10890; for 125 ml Weck jars, item no. 11550; for amber, preserving and clear glass jars, item no. 11553). Use the adhesive pads to stick the wick in the centre of the base of the jar and press it down firmly using the straw.

Step 4

Use a clothes peg to fix the wick in the centre and tighten it slightly so that it does not slip during casting.

Step 5

As soon as the wax has melted, add the fragrance. For scented candles in jars, we recommend a dosage of 6%, which corresponds to one bottle of scented oil per pack of rapeseed coconut wax. As pure fragrances are considered hazardous substances, you should wear gloves and safety goggles. Slowly mix the fragrance into the wax using a wooden stick - first clockwise and then anti-clockwise.

Step 6

To cool it down more quickly, pour half of the wax into the cardboard wax container. Cool the wax down to around 40 - 45° C - the optimum pouring temperature so that there are no "craters" in the centre of the candle that need to be poured. The temperature can be measured with a kitchen thermometer.

Step 7

Slowly pour in the liquid wax to approx. 1.5 cm below the top edge of the glass. Form a "beak" with the cardboard cup, to pour the wax precisely and cleanly. To avoid air pockets on the glass wall when cooling, it is recommended to heat the glasses with a hairdryer beforehand.

Step 8

When the candle has cooled down after about 20 minutes, remove the clothes peg and trim the wick to 1 cm. If the surface of the candle is uneven, you can use a hairdryer to heat the top layer so that the wax liquefies again. Leave the candle to rest for a further 48 hours before lighting.

Step 9

Decorate the glasses as you wish.
