xxmoon-sistersxx: Happy Mabon, everyone! I’ll be writing down the things I used, and in bold will be replacements you can use! I hope this inspires others, and gives people some new idea for future sabbats! I know I said I’d post this on my account, @lovely-amethyst-witch, but this account has such a bigger following it would be easier to share on here to spread faster! I think I’ll just show this on snapchat the next time around to show the process live. ( Let us know, if you’d like to see that) Things I used: Soy Wax ( 464 ) -Any Fall Colored and Scented Candle to remelt- Nutmeg, Cinnamon sticks,Star Anise, and Cloves -These are Optional- Autumn Scent for candle, I used Cinnamon and Vanilla ( and a splash of pumpkin spice) A Container to put the candle in. -Any Jar will do- Orange, Red and Brown Color Blocks Thermometer Pouring Pitcher ( for the candle wax) Wooden Spoon ( one you won’t miss, you can’t use it for food again) Knife to cut colored blocks ( one you won’t miss ) An old pot ( you can’t use it for food again) Wicks and Wick Stickers -Needed for remelting candle- First and foremost, all utensils used for candle making can not be used for food again. Don’t risk it, be safe and avoid any problems by mixing them. Now here is my Mabon Candle and flower tribute, it is my interpretation of it and I love my candle. ️ Here are the steps I used: ️ Prepare Candle Containers, place wicks using wick stickers in the center. Use a pencil ( or a wick holder) to keep the wick from moving as it cools. Melt the wax on a double boiler, until it reached 170-180 degrees (Fahrenheit) Cut colored blocks, use little chunks and mix into wax. Be sure the color blocks is completely melted, if not, then there will be chunks of color in your candle. ( it will still function perfectly fine, but it’s not as pretty.) Take Wax off double boiler to cool it down to 135 degrees (Fahrenheit) Turn off Stove, be safe! Add Scent and stir, never use more than one ounce of scent per one pound of wax. Anything over will be too overpowering. Carefully pour wax into containers, it’s okay if your wick holder moves, you can adjust it any time while the wax is still in liquid form. Wait for it to firm up and add your fall scents! I choose Cinnamon, Star Anise, Nutmeg, and whole cloves! Enjoy! Simplified Version: ️ Melt Candle of your choice on a double boiler, be very very careful not to burn yourself. Use oven mits to be safe. Prepare new jar, place wick and wick sticker inside Pour melted candle wax into new jar, be careful not to spill hot wax on your skin. Allow Candle to solidify a little before adding any decor, if you don’t wait long enough it will sink into the candle itself; or will dent the candle wax. Add the optional spices, decorate to your hearts content. Enjoy! - Kinara -- source link
