Step 1 - Get Prepared!

1. Pick your jar

2. Add wick

3. Add label & stickers to jar

Step 2 - Pick your smells

The quantity of fragrance oil you add should correlate with the amount of wax you're using. But don't worry, we'll be there to help.

After years of tests, we believe and recommend 6-8% of fragrance oil is typical to use and get the best results.

Step 3 - Mix, heat & Pour

The fun begins! Mix your chosen scents with our luxury soy wax and pour the wax into your jar(s).

Crafty Mountain Candle Co. handcrafts all candles in-store using 100% luxury soy wax, ensuring they're paraffin-free and ideal for those with asthma, undergoing chemotherapy, or sensitive to traditional candles. Additionally, some candles feature intricate hand-painting. Owner Maria Schingeck personally creates each candle, and don't miss out on exploring their latest seasonal offerings in-store.
