Candles, Soap, & Bath Bombs

Making your own candles, soap, or bath bombs can be a fun and creative activity. You can customize them with different colors, scents, and shapes to suit your preferences. Here are some basic steps and resources to help you get started:

To make your own candles, you will need wax, wicks, fragrance oils, and a mold. You can use soy wax, beeswax, or paraffin wax, depending on your preference. You will also need to melt the wax in a double boiler, add the fragrance oil, and pour it into the mold with the wick. You can find more detailed instructions and tips with the Homemade Candle Making Recipes book listed below.

To make your own soap, you will need lye, water, oils, and a mold. You can use different types of oils, such as olive oil, coconut oil, or palm oil, to create different soap properties. You will also need to mix the lye and water, then add the oils and blend them until they reach a trace. You can find more detailed instructions and tips with the Beeswax Alchemy book listed below. 

To make your own bath bombs, you will need baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, Epsom salt, essential oils, emollient oils, food coloring, and a mold. You can use different types of essential oils and emollient oils, such as lavender, eucalyptus, coconut, or almond, to create different aromas and benefits. You will also need to mix the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients separately, then combine them and press them into the mold.
