Attach the Wedo Eco Wick 12 to the base of the Glass Candle Jar using a Wick Stick Um.

Top Tip: Warm your candle jar slightly before pouring to reduce shrinkage or use a heat gun or warm water — ensure glass is completely dry.
Allow wax to cool to approximately 60°C, then carefully pour into your candle jar.
Leave to fully set. Trim wick to approximately 1cm. Use a heat gun to smooth the surface if needed. Your Pink Candle is ready to enjoy.

Pink candles are a timeless choice for adding warmth, romance, and personality to any space. Whether you’re crafting for Valentine’s Day, a thoughtful gift, or simply adding a soft feminine touch to your home, making your own pink candle is a rewarding and creative experience.

Using ProSoy Container Wax ensures a smooth, clean burn, while neon pink dye chips deliver a bold and vibrant colour. Pair your candle with a floral, fruity, or romantic fragrance to enhance the mood and atmosphere.

Coloured candles are more than decorative — they can influence ambience and emotion. Pink symbolises love, affection, and gentle energy, making it ideal for bedrooms, self-care spaces, or gift sets.

Always check IFRA and legal usage limits for your chosen fragrance or essential oil before making or selling.

1. What Colourants Are Best For Candles?

Dye Chips – Strong, stable colour with minimal impact on burn
Liquid Dyes – Highly concentrated and easy to blend
Mica Powders – Add shimmer but must be fully dispersed to prevent wick clogging

2. Where Does The Wax Go When A Candle Burns?

As the candle burns, melted wax is drawn up the wick, vaporised, and combusted by the flame, releasing fragrance into the air.

3. Should You Burn A Candle To The Bottom?

No. Stop burning when 1–2cm of wax remains to prevent overheating and potential glass breakage.

4. How Long Should I Let My Candle Cure?

For best scent performance, allow your candle to cure for 7–14 days before burning.
