My sister and I had a craft day and made these candles together! It was so fun and this tutorial was perfect.

In reply to Janet.

This is sometimes called tunneling and it can happen for a number of reasons. First, make sure the first time you use a candle you let it burn long enough for it to melt to the edges. This is called a memory burn (the first time you use a candle) and if you only let it melt the center it is more likely to tunnel. Other possible issues: incorrect wick size, wax blend is off, drafty area, or an off center wick

I am not much of a DIY person, but I have always had a passion for candle making. Thanks to your clear and concise instructions, I’m finally going to learn! My only questions are: should I get a pot or a wax melting machine? And do you have any brand suggestions for a beginner?
