Kids Crafty Candle Creations Workshop (Ages 8-12)

Create Your Own Pearlised Candle Container & Scented Soy Candle.



8 to 12 years     6 hours Class size 6 to 12 guests       $135

In this hands-on school holiday workshop, kids will create their own candle from start to finish—designing a decorative container and hand-pouring a beautifully scented soy wax candle.
This season, we’re introducing a new pearlised technique that gives each container a soft, luminous sheen. Using a curated palette of autumn-inspired colours, kids will create a smooth, polished piece that feels more like a finished homeware item than a craft project.
They’ll also learn how to pour their own soy wax candle and choose from a selection of warm, seasonal fragrances to create a scent they love.
This workshop combines creativity with a little bit of science, resulting in a finished piece that looks beautiful and can be used at home or gifted.
What Kids Will Learn:
  • How to mix and pour acrylic resin to create a marbled container.
  • Techniques for colouring and customising homeware pieces.
  • The basics of hand-pouring soy wax candles and blending seasonal fragrances.
Why Your Kids Will Love It:
This workshop is more than just candle making! It’s a chance to explore creativity, make new friends, and craft something truly unique. The colour possibilities and combinations are endless, and our instructors will be there every step of the way to guide and encourage your child. They’ll leave with a marbled container they can take home the same day and a beautifully scented candle to collect the following day.
Safety and Drop-Off Information:
  • Our space is secure and only accessible to participants.
  • All instructors have valid Working with Children Checks.
  • Parents must drop off and pick up children in person and complete a short admission form acknowledging participation and safety guidelines.

Creating balance with creativity & connection

5.0 (1,170)
female Women-owned

Made by Me Workshop is about helping people to connect with their "inner creative" and have some fun while making beautiful things from quality materials in our friendly & vibrant studio space in the heart of the inner west!
Established in 2017 after Rebecca Doyle decided to take a career break and chose to revisit her childhood love for arts & crafts. Rebecca grew up in a large family where money was tight, after school activities where mostly homegrown and usually involved a sheet of cardboard, a glue stick and some glitter! It is probably no surprise to learn that Rebecca followed a creative path to study Fashion & Textile Design at University!
After a few more decades (than Rebecca will publicly admit to) and a long and varied career in the fashion industry, Rebecca wanted to get back to creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind objects - Made By Me Workshop is the result of where this path led.
Rebecca loves that moment of pride that comes over each participant's face when they look at what they have created and say to themselves "Wow - I made this & I love it!"
Made by Me Workshop run a variety of creative workshops, hen’s parties, private parties and corporate events from their warehouse space in St Peters including Resin Art, Resin Jewellery & Mould Making, Soap Making, Terrazzo Homewares, Punch Needle, Macrame and many more.
