Whether you're looking for unique gifts for everyone on your list or you're keen to treat yourself to some calming crafts, join Fire Nest Candles for a relaxing experience learning how to make your own luxury fragranced wooden wick candle. Made with soy wax, your creation will last longer and burn slower.
Over the course of two hours, you'll learn each step of creating a duo of enticing candles from a friendly expert. Starting with learning a bit about the benefits of soy wax, you'll choose from a range of different fragrances to suit your preference, as well as finishing your candle with an assortment of dried botanicals. Then it'll be time to get hands-on as you create your candle! From blending the fragrance and pouring the wax to making sure the wick is set, you'll be guided through the process step by step, so no worries about getting in over your head.
You'll also pick up some helpful candle care tips and advice to help you get the most out of your creation. By the end of this immersive and relaxing experience, you'll have learned the fundamentals of a new craft and have created a pair of gorgeous, sustainable candles to take home with you.
