There are many important candle making instructions to following when creating these fun home accents. Container candles are candles that are made in nonflammable containers, where the candle is not intended to be removed from its container. One of the most important decisions you need to make is the type of container you want to use, especially if it will be seasonal, holiday-themed or used to add a touch of decoration to your home.

Common candle containers include:
Glass jars (any shape or variety)
Ceramic/crock pots
Tin jars
Enamel containers

Container candles are not the easiest type of candle to make, but if you enjoy candle making, you will also enjoy all of the varieties of scents, colors and container options that are available to you. Container candles are popular because they never drip wax and require less melting points than other types of candles. This makes their scents stronger and last longer.

Container candles make great gifts for any occasion. Simply tie a bow around your container and add a festive gift tag.

Wax (paraffin, soy or another type of soft wax)

Fragrance oil
Kitchen knife
