How To Make Your Own Amazing 50 Hour Candles

This post is brought to you by Amazon where you can get Candle Supplies and related products !

Candles are just a good idea to have around no matter what. You never know when your power could go out and you have to rely on candles and flashlights to get around at night. 

We all know with the recent disasters plaguing the East coast in recent months, it could be several days before power is restored

These candles are purported to burn for 50 hours! That’s a lot better than being stuck with your little decorative tea candles that most people have!

This is some really Good stuff here!

The materials you will need are:

Soy wax flakes. These are commonly used in making scented candles. I bought a 5 pound bag from Amazon right here.

Canning jars. I purchased a dozen 8 ounce jars from Amazon for around $18. If you have jars around the house, no need to buy 'em. 

Wicks and Tabs. You can find these on Amazon, eBay and at your craft stores. You'll want your wicks to be a bit longer than your candle holder is though...

The tools you will be needing are:

Scissors: For cutting the wicks to size

Double Boiler: For melting the wax. 

A Pouring Device: I just used a Pyrex measuring cup. 

Protective Gloves: This includes using boiling water and hot wax, so you want to keep you hands safe.Don't forget to check out  this Link for all your Candle supplies
