What you'll do

Avid candle shopper to candle making master, join Vishakha Patel for this hands-on live streaming class and discover how to make Christmas candles yourself!

When Vishakha first started making candles, she didn't realise that what started out as just another new experience would turn into a passion she wouldn't be able to get enough of.

Over an hour, share the joyful experience of hand-pouring natural soy wax candles with blissful fragrances.

Class outline:

Understand the material and equipment needed
The perfect setup for pouring
Discuss the secret candle formula
Pampering the candles, packaging and presenting!

Your teacher will also share some really practical tips and information for trouble-shooting so that you leave not only with the beautiful candles you would have made, but also the knowledge that you can do it on your own in future.

At an end of a session, you would have made a beautiful, scented Christmas candle yourself to flaunt to your friends and family while you still have the material in your DIY craft kit ready to make two more candles later on.

And it's no secret that the scented Christmas candles would make perfect gift ideas for Christmas for their undoubtedly festive appearance and divine fragrance.

What you'll need

1. Gas stove or electric hot plate to put the double boiler on for heating the wax
2. Two sauce pans/pots to make a double boiler to heat the wax
3. Plastic/Steel/Glass Jug with a handle and pout for pouring so as to be able to pour really hot wax carefully
4. Old news paper/baking paper/craft paper etc to lay on the surface you will be working on (so that it's easier chuk in the bin straightaway rather than cleaning up the mess)

Best is to get the Aluminium Wax Melt Jug available as add-on which fulfils both the purposes of melting and pouring as suggested in point 2 & 3 above

I have always had that intuitive urge to 'create' something with a purpose: a new vegetarian recipe, a cake that would still be calorie-friendly, a soap that would nourish my skin with essential oils, a paining that would tell a story of my childhood, a candle that would smell divine?

By day, I am a fulltime ICT Professional helping product teams build great software applications that deliver an awesome User experience. In my moonlight hours and occasionally on weekends, I enjoy this experience of facilitating crafts workshops at my adorable apartment thereby follow my own passion (thank God I found a way), do what I love (or else no point yea), exercise my entrepreneurial skills (or at least I would think so), stay emotionally healthy (this one is real), meet new people (when Sydney reportedly is world's 3rd worst city to make new friends), and do my bit of promoting mental health.

In my journey of hosting the picnics, cooking, baking, fitness and crafts experiences in Sydney, I have come across a range of creative people, many of whom discovered things to be a fun hobby and some who have taken it further and started selling stuff online.

My pursuit of the little joys of life continues as I look forward to share these experiences with you!
