Making your own candles is a rewarding hobby that quickly becomes addictive. All you need is good-quality wax, a wick and a few basic accessories. In this Bilovit collection, you’ll find the materials and tools you need to make candles at home. They’re perfect both for beginners and for those looking to stock up their workshop.
Candle wax – soya and beeswax
Wax is the foundation of every candle. Here you’ll find soya wax in flakes and beeswax in granules, both in handy 1 kg packs. Soya wax is a popular choice for candles in containers. Beeswax is often used for moulded and rolled candles. Flakes and granules are easy to measure out and melt quickly, so there’s no need to cut or crumble large blocks.
Wicks, candle holders and stabilisers
The wick determines how the candle burns, and its positioning determines the appearance of the finished product. The collection includes braided wicks and metal wick holders, to which you can attach the wick at the bottom of the container. Stabilisers, made of metal or wood, hold the wick precisely in the centre until the wax has set. This ensures the candle comes out even and the wick does not tilt to one side.
Tools for melting and temperature control
An aluminium melting pot with a comfortable handle and spout allows you to pour the wax precisely into a mould or glass. A wax thermometer helps you monitor the temperature at every stage. This is important because it determines whether the candle’s surface is smooth and how well the wax bonds with the container. It’s worth keeping one to hand whenever you’re pouring wax.
Candles as gifts, for the home and for sale
