The glaze is celestial blue (though I don't think this job does it justice, I knew I didn't like him before I glazed, which was rushed).

​

What I bought to make the candles:

  1. Paraffin wax ($12.00/5lbs) : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B4JNWRY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    ​

  2. Wicks ($4.95): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015W8DWUO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    ​

  3. Pouring hot pot ($11.45):

    ​

  4. The smelly oil (I spent >$12.00, it's recommended you use 1oz of oil/ lb of wax): https://www.candlescience.com/fragrance/all-fragrance-oils

    ​

    I had a thermometer and I just boiled water in a cooking pot to apply the heat.

    Obviously new to candle making, there could be better/cheaper tools out there, this is just what I got from ~15 minutes of looking around.

    I used this how-to video.

    I filled 4 smaller pots and have enough to make 5/6 more with the 5 lb amount of wax.

I'm using the WRMK Wick for making my candles, so I can adjust the temperature along a pretty wide band.
