There’s something magical about the process of making something yourself, especially when the end result is not only beautiful but also excites your senses. Scented candles are a perfect combination of ambiance and scent that transform your home into an oasis of calm and relaxation. But what if you could make these luxurious candles yourself, exactly to your taste? With Maison Melts from Bougie Rallumée, this is not only possible, but also easy and fun. In this blog, we’ll show you how to make your own luxurious scented candles, and how you can join our community of creative and eco-conscious candle lovers.
1. Why DIY? The Benefits of Making Your Own Scented Candles
Making your own candles offers countless benefits. Not only is it a fun and creative activity, but it also gives you control over the scent, intensity and look of your candles. Whether you have a specific scent in mind or want to experiment with different combinations, making your own candles with Maison Melts gives you the freedom to create something unique that perfectly matches your taste and interior.
Plus, making your own candles is a sustainable choice. By using reusable candle containers and our luxurious, biodegradable wax, you’re reducing waste and contributing to a greener planet. The sense of satisfaction you get when lighting your own creation is unparalleled – and best of all, you can do it again and again.
2. Step-by-Step Guide: Making Luxury Candles With Maison Melts
Making your own scented candles is easier than you might think, and with Maison Melts you have everything you need to get started. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to get you started:
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
You'll need a few basic supplies: a clean, reusable candle container, a wick, scissors, and of course your favorite Maison Melts scent.
Step 2: Place the Fuse
Start by placing the wick in the center of your candle container. Use a pencil or a special wick holder to hold the wick upright and ensure it stays centered while pouring the wax.
Step 3: Melt the Wax
Fill a pan with water and bring to a boil. Place the Maison Melts pouch directly into the boiling water. Let the wax melt slowly until it is completely liquid.
Step 4: Pour the Wax
Once the wax is completely melted, carefully pour it into the candle container. Make sure the wick stays in place while you pour. Then let the candle cool and harden for a few hours.
Step 5: Trim the Wick
Once the wax has fully hardened, you can trim the wick to about a quarter of an inch above the surface of the candle. This will ensure an even burn.
And there you have it, your luxurious, homemade scented candle is ready! Light it, relax and enjoy the scent as it spreads throughout your home.
3. Create Your Own Fragrance Signature
One of the greatest benefits of DIY candle making with Maison Melts is the ability to create your own signature scent. By combining different scents, you can create a unique fragrance that is just right for you. Perhaps you love the freshness of citrus combined with the warmth of vanilla, or you want to experiment with more exotic combinations like sandalwood and rose. The possibilities are endless, and each candle you create is a reflection of your personal style and preference.
Our Maison Melts collection offers a wide range of scents, so you can always try something new and unleash your creativity. The process of experimenting with scents can also be a relaxing and meditative activity, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
