Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to traditional paraffin-based kits, this CraftBud assembly offers a cleaner burn with significantly less soot and a longer-lasting scent throw. While some budget kits omit essential safety tools like a thermometer or use plastic pouring jugs, the DIY Soy Candle Making Kit includes a professional-grade metal pitcher and precise temperature monitoring tools to ensure consistent results every time.

How to use it

1. Measure the soy wax flakes using the included melting pitcher to ensure the correct volume for your chosen tins.
2. Melt the wax slowly over a double boiler, monitoring the temperature with the CraftBud thermometer until it reaches approximately 185°F.
3. Add your preferred fragrance oil and stir gently for two minutes to ensure the oil binds perfectly with the soy wax.
4. Secure the cotton wick to the bottom of the tin using a glue dot, ensuring it is centered for an even burn.
5. Pour the scented wax into the tins at 135°F and let them cure for at least 24 hours before lighting.

CraftBud focuses on renewable resources by utilizing 100% soy wax derived from American-grown soybeans. The packaging is designed to be minimal, and the included metal tins are intended for reuse or recycling after the candle has finished burning. All components are strictly vegan and free from animal testing.
