Botanical Candles
I have purchased the 2" x 6.5" cylinder molds from Candlewic but they have been out of stock for a while. You might want to keep checking though or maybe even give them a call to see if they have any in their warehouse that they just haven't listed yet.
The 3" x 6.5" is currently available at Candle Science where I purchased mine at a great price.
Another place you can order them from is North Valley Candle Mold Company. You won't be able to create an online account until you've accumulated $500 in orders. Hit the "request a quote" or give them a call for your order and see how much they are. I have had them custom-make molds for me in the past.
Another option is Amazon. They are a bit more pricey but remember that you only have to buy these once.
LX - 8 Wick Roll - 4 oz - Candlewic
Spatula to push dried flowers into mold
MP-137 Paraffin Pillar Wax - Candle Science
I always buy 5 - 45 pound cases to save on shipping. The good news is they just announced that their shipping rates are 30% lower.
Fragrance Oils - I get my fragrance oils from a few different companies. Just make sure to check that they are phthalate-free so they are non-toxic.
Fragrance Oil bottle pouring cap - Little Bee Scents
Other necessary Tools:
Pouring Pot
Get about 4 of them to make sure you have enough. I keep one in my box of wax for easy scooping
Large Pouring Pot
Get one of these to easily refill your melting pot.
XL Presto Pot
This is the pot you need to melt your wax. Don't bother with a smaller one as you'll have to keep refilling it and waste time waiting for the wax to melt.
10" Stir Sticks
Bowtie Wick Holders
Mounting Putty
Kitchen Scale
Thermometer
Heat Gun
This is faster than the one we used at the workshop. Just be sure to use the lowest setting or it will burn your botanicals.
