In this beginner-friendly candle making class, you’ll design and pour your own flower-shaped candles using silicone molds and premium soy wax. Whether you're crafting for your mom, a loved one, or yourself, this experience blends creativity with meaningful gifting.

You’ll learn the fundamentals of candle making while customizing every detail:

  •  Pour intricate flower-shaped candles
  •  Experiment with soft pastel dyes and color blending
  • Choose from curated signature fragrance blends
  • Learn proper pouring, wick placement, and finishing techniques

To complete your gift, you’ll assemble a beautiful presentation:
