Crafting Holiday Magic: Clear Gel Botanical CandlesDuration: 2.5 Hours
Course Overview
Sunday November 8th 1:00pm
Capture the cozy, nostalgic essence of the holiday season in a jar! In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the art of working with high-density clear gel wax to create a stunning, translucent candle that looks like a winter wonderland frozen in time.
You will master the techniques required to suspend festive botanicals inside a glass container, creating a beautiful dimensional effect that glows brilliantly when lit.
What You Will Learn
* Gel Wax Fundamentals: Understand the unique properties of gel wax, including safe melting temperatures, pouring techniques, and how to minimize (or intentionally maximize) air bubbles.
* Botanical Design & Placement: Discover the secrets to securely anchoring elements like cinnamon sticks, star anise, pine cones, dried cranberries, and fresh pine needles so they don’t float or shift during the pour.
* Safety First: Learn essential safety rules for embedding objects in candles, including proper wick placement and choosing non-flammable elements.
* Finishing Touches: Explore rustic styling techniques, such as wrapping the jar rim with twine and adding custom holiday tags to make your creation gift-ready.
