DIY- The Favor Tin Candle
In most cases, the DIY bride is looking for easy to do yet stylish projects to make her wedding both memorable yet simple. Not to mention inexpensive. Well, after a little bit of research, we’ve found the Candle Favor Tin to satisfy all of those requirements while remaining fairly easy to make. Just follow the steps below, and you are sure to be happy with the results.
The needed supplies for making these candle favors:
Wax, Wicks, Favor Containers (we suggest these, A Wax Melter, A Large Pot, Fragrances, Dyes
1) Spread newspapers over the candle making area. You may wish to double or triple layer so that any spills will not damage the table surface you are working on.
2) Begin to melt your wax. It is easiest to place a wax melter in a large pot half-filled with water on a burner over low-medium heat. Gradually place wax pieces into the melter. If you do not have a melter, another small metal pot or bowl will work fine. When the wax has melted, you can add coloring or fragrance to coordinate with your theme/color scheme.
3) Cut pre-tabbed wicks to ½ inch above the container edge and place them in the center of the containers. Pour the wax mixture over and let stand for twelve hours.
4) While the wax cools, design and print out the labels that will go onto the favor top. Since we are using the round favor tins, we suggest the Wilton template . If you are using a different size or style, be sure to find out what template works best for your favor. Usually, this information can be found with the product information or on the maker’s website.
5) Once the candles have completely hardened, place the favor tin lid onto the tin securely and affix the label to the top. Now you have a favor that is not only eye catching, but also unique and affordable. (These are also great favor ideas for baby showers and Girls Night Out)
I’ve seen this in stores is it the same precise product?
Hi, Laquita:
If it’s a candle inside of a tin with a monogram label on it like the step by step pictures show, my guess is that it is pretty much the same thing. Good luck if you decide to try it out for yourself!
