Hearth & Harbor DIY Candle Making Kit for Adults - Soy Candle Wax Kit with 10 LBs Wax Flakes, Candle Making Supplies, Candle Kit for Beginners

I love this candle kit. It comes with absolutely everything you need so there is no guess work when you are brand new at making candles. It comes with very easy step by step instructions and a ton of wax to make lots of candles. I used this kit to make candles for a baby shower for the party favour bags. I had enough wax to make 20+ candles. It comes with 4 different fragrant oils which are lovely. I had some other oils to make the rest of the candles. The candles were a big hit at the shower.

This kit has me a little baffled. It comes with four 8 oz containers to make candles and enough wax to fill them 24 times. It just kind of doesn't make sense.The box is large and heavy when it comes. The box itself came completely unharmed but when I unboxed it, two of the fragrance oil containers appeared to have leaked- with discoloration in their respective bags. The oils had all different levels of oil in them as you can see in my picture.Instructions were very easy to follow to make the candles and there is certainly enough coloring agent to make a very nice variety of colors.Bizarrely the instructions to make 8 oz candles include melting 8 oz of wax and adding a full 2 oz bottle of fragrance oil to the candle base so you wind up with 2 oz extra candle wax that's been heavily fragranced. I would hold back on the oil on future candles. Honestly, the fragrance oils were kind of sickly and Grandma smelling. I will definitely be purchasing oils far more to my liking, but fragrance is always a very personal matter. Perhaps they will suit you fine.Clean up was a breeze and overall it makes for a very fun project. It's nice to have another thermometer around. The one with the kit is a full-on candy thermometer.**** Update - having now burned several of the candles made from this kit I can say that the wax burns pretty evenly and they are not kidding when they say wait 24-48 hours from when you finish to when you burn a candle. The first one I tried the next day and it burrowed a hole right down the middle of the candle over the course of a couple of hours. It didn't work well at all.I'm still mystified at the horrible scents included. The ones I bought separately made for some nice-smelling candles. The wicks burn hot and tend to get long, so get ready to keep trimming them throughout the life of your candle.

I got this kit so I could make teacup candles. So far I have only made two candles but I am happy with it so far. My only complaint is that a couple of the colored wax bags came loose in shipping and dyed portions of the plain white wax. I think it shouldn’t make a huge difference as long as I use those portions with darker colors to mask it.

This is a great starter kit for anyone looking to learn to make candles. I bought as a gift and my daughter loves it! It’s a great value!

After doing tons researching on different candle making kits, I finally had decided on ordering this candle making kit due to the extra wax it came with. I placed my order like any other Amazon purchase, notice it was shipped and sold through Amazon. I had to wait right at a week for my kit to come it. The day came that it was delivered! I was so excited to open my kit up and see my newest project! I opened the box and noticed a smell, I didn’t think much about it until further investigation I found that my lavender oil had spilled over almost all of my product. This was a super frustration and let down since I had waited for this product for a week and I didn’t want just lavender fragrant items. I reached out to Amazon. Amazon solution was to send it back to them. They would then send it back to the original person as I was told this is third-party item, even though it states ships and sold both through Amazon, I would then have to wait for the company then to return my money via refund. I reached out to the company support via Amazon both go to a restaurant website and phone number which have nothing to do with candle making kits. I then Googled the company and filled out a contact information twice for them to contact me and told them what had happened. I have yet to hear back from them so now I’m writing up this review which I don’t typically write reviews, especially negative ones. I’m hoping somebody somewhere can help come up with a solution for my products. If I wanted lavender, then this kit would be fine but I don’t, I’d like to use other fragrances the kit came with. Hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else. Picture upload it just part of the products covered.
