I was recently sent a DIY Blessings Candle Kit for review, so let’s check it out!
Everything was shipped in a medium-sized brown box with the Simply Earth logo on top & the name of the kit on the side.
A peek in the box!
Candle Vessels
Two 8-ounce ceramic vessels were provided to hold your completed candles. They boast a pretty sage green color and come with sleek matching lids. I love how the inside appears to be glazed — making it easier to wipe out any residue once the candle has been burned down, allowing the vessel to be reused/repurposed. 🙂
Clean Burn Soy Wax
A 1-pound bag of clean burn soy wax will serve as the main “ingredient” in your candles. It’s the exact amount needed to fill both 8-ounce vessels.
A separate, smaller box held the remaining materials/ingredients.
Simply Earth Bergamot Essential Oil
Fun Fact: Bergamot was named after a town in Italy — Bergamo — where Bergamot oil was first marketed. It has a fragrant citrus/floral aroma and is often used for its calming effect, as well as aiding digestion, deodorizing, promoting immunity, balancing cravings, and more.
Simply Earth Palo Santo Clean Fragrance Oil
Palo santo is one of my favorite scents! It has a woody/smoky aroma that can invoke feelings of warmth and nostalgia. 🙂 According to the label, this clean fragrance oil is free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and dyes.
Wick Stickers, Clips, and Wooden Wicks
Two wooden wicks were provided, along with clips and stickers to position them in each vessel.
Notecards
Two customizable notecards were included if you decide to give the completed candles to someone special.
“Hope’s Glow Candles” Recipe Card
The all-important recipe card listed all of the materials needed — everything was provided except the marker, along with complete step-by-step instructions (more shown on back, not pictured.)
Okay, time to make some candles!
The first step was to use a permanent marker to write a blessing, prayer, or kind thought onto each of the wooden wicks. I opted to leave my second one blank since I was keeping both of them for myself anyway. 😉
I then slid each wick onto the little metal clips…
…and placed the 2-sided stickers on the bottom.
This allowed me to easily position and secure the wicks to the bottom of each vessel.
Next, it was time to melt the wax. — In an effort to make cleanup easier, I decided to use a freshly washed pasta sauce jar. I poured half of the wax into the jar and microwaved at 30-second intervals until it was thoroughly melted.
After letting it cool for a short while, I then added the specified amounts of essential oil and fragrance oil.
After swirling the melted wax and oils together, I poured the mixture into one of the waiting vessels.
I repeated the process with the second half of wax and set the candles aside to cool/harden.
The following day, they were both fully solidified and ready to be enjoyed!
Simply Earth’s new “DIY Blessings Candle Kit” made it super easy to create my own scented candles using eco-friendly, non-toxic ingredients. As with all of Simply Earth’s DIY kits, the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I absolutely LOVE how they turned out and the scent is amazing.
