Enjoy a cozy night in by making your own custom candles. Our soy candle making kit comes with everything you need to create not one, not two, but seven one-of-a-kind candles. It’s the perfect craft for an at-home spa night, intimate dinner, or gift for your loved ones.  This workshop, led by husband-and-wife team Melissa and Chad Burgess of Craft + Foster, walks you through each step of building hand-poured soy candles. You’ll learn everything from choosing your vessel and wick size, to preparing and pouring your wax, all the way through to completing and curing your candle. If you’re interested in fragrance blending, you’ll learn expert tips on exploring scent combinations, too. This workshop includes:
