Making Soap & Candles with Cierra Candles

July 7, 2017 Uncategorized

CandlesDone5
Hey everyone! This week has just flown by with the holiday and all. Today I am sharing a fun blog post about Candle and Soap Making with Cierra Candles. I had never made soap or candles before Cierra Candles contacted me, but it was so easy and I had a lot of fun!

CandlesDone6

Cierra Candles has a variety of Soap Making Kits and Candle Making Kits. These would make great gifts, a girls night in activity, supervised kids activity, or for decor around the home.

Now I’m going to show you the steps on making the soap and candles and you’ll see first hand how easy it is!

Making Soap
CandlesDone7
Cierra Candles makes it so fun to create your own bars of soap! You can dye them from a variety of colors that they have, add a scent and even select what kind of soap base you want to use (clear, goat’s milk, etc.). Once you’re done, you can pour them into molds to get different shapes.


Soap1
In the photo above, you’ll see what Cierra Candles sent me:

Two plastic soap molds

1 lb Goats Milk Melt and Pour Soap Base

1 lb Clear Melt and Pour Soap Base

Three vials of soap color – Blue, Red, Yellow

Four 1-ounce fragrance oils

Metal Pour Pot

Instructions



**Now I’ll share with you the steps I took to make the soap. Your kit will come with FULL instructions, so just use my directions as an extra reference.**
Soap2 Soap3
First, you’ll want to cut up your soap into small cubes. Next, you’ll place the soap base into a glass container and microwave it 15-20 seconds a time and stir in-between heatings. I had to do this four times before it was completely melted.


Soap4 Soap5
Add a couple of drops of the soap safe colorant. A little goes a long way and you can go from pastel to dark rather quickly. Stir.


Soap6 Soap7
Next, your add the scent. I decided to add Love Spell. I added 1 teaspoon to the soap base.


Soap8 Soap9
Now you can pour the soap base into the molds! I let mine harden overnight and then I popped them out of the molds. You’ll want to wrap up the soap in plastic wrap so it doesn’t collect moisture (especially in humid climates).


Making Candles
CandlesDone4
Cierra Candles makes it so easy to create your own candles! You can dye them from a variety of colors that they have, add a scent and pour the wax into a variety of items, such as a tin jar, coffee mug, glass cups, etc.


Candles1
In the photo above, you’ll see what Cierra Candles sent me:

Three pounds Naturewax C-3 Soy wax

12 four-ounce tins with lids

HTP 104 Wicks

25 Wick Stickers

Three packs of candle dye chips

Four 1-ounce fragrance oils

Small Digital Scale

Candy Thermometer

Instructions

**Now I’ll share with you the steps I took to make the candles. Your kit will come with FULL instructions, so just use my directions as an extra reference.**
Candles2 Candles3
Make sure you use soap and water to clean your containers. Let them dry fully. Add a wick sticker to bottom of wick tab and adhere to inside of container.


Candles5 Candles6
Use the scale to measure out 1 lb of wax. Set up a double boiler over medium heat. I used a candy thermometer to watch the temperature, you will want to heat the wax to around 185 F. Once it has gotten to this temperature you’ll remove the wax from the heat.


Candles4 Candles7
While the wax is melting, cut up a dye chip. Stir in to blend well.


Candles8 Candles9
Once the wax has reached 185 F, you can remove it from the heat source. Select your fragrance oil and add it to the wax. Stir for a full 2 minutes.


Candles11 Candles12
Now you can pour the wax into your vessels. If the wick starts to fall, use a straw or skewer with tape to straighten it up. 

The center spring of a clothespin also fits nicely over the wick and sits on top of the tin to hold the wick in place.


CandlesDone8Let the candles completely cool before you try the wick and let it cure for at least 72 hour before burning.

Today I'm recapping 2 shorter races🏃🏼‍♀️that I've done in the last few months. BOTH of these races happened after tornados🌪️hit... isn't that wild? The Make Tracks Through the Zoo🦓🦒🦔race that I'll be recapping first was CANCELED, because a tornado went through the St. Louis Zoo 2 days prior to the race! I mean, what are the odds of this? So, I decided to donate my registration and I ran the race on my own. Then, I’m recapping the Chesterfield Shamrock🍀10K from March. We had 4 tornados🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️ touch down 5 miles from our house in Arnold, MO the night before the race. LOTS of destruction. Arnold still has a lot of areas that aren't fully repaired. I’m just so thankful my Spring half marathon went on without any craziness! Mother Nature is not playing nice this Spring!! I’m so saddened by the loss of 5 people from the May 16th tornado here in St. Louis. It is crazy how fast life can change. Please keep St. Louis in your prayers/thoughts!!🙏

I have found it, the 💐PERFECT Spring dress💕 I have found it, the 💐PERFECT Spring dress💕 that can be dressed up and down. @AventuraClothing’s Linden Fit & Flare Print Tank Dress👗 is easy, breezy and beautiful! The pastels in the floral print make it extra fun to accessorize this dress. I chose my new Kim Stampato 9” Light Yellow Bag💼💛 from @TeddyBlake and some coral wedge sandals👡 to add some pops of Spring hues🌈 to the look.

I recently wore this dress on Easter to church and brunch and layered a denim jacket over the dress when I got chilly in the a/c. This dress has deep pockets and bra-friendly straps (such a win-win!!). Best of all, however, is the sustainable fabric. Crafted from a blend of organic cotton, TENCEL™ Modal, and elastane, this slub jersey is soft, breathable and forgiving. The midi skirt length is perfect for the Spring when it can be a little cold or a little warm all in one day. I have fallen in love with the ease of the Linden Print Dress.❤️🥰
