As a handmade candle business based in China, we specialize in natural candle brands, candle scents, and high-quality candle supplies. Let's get started!

Step#1

Gather the Supplies To make your watermelon candle, you will need the following supplies:

• Soy wax flakes (natural candle brand)
• Candle wicks
• Watermelon fragrance oil (candle scent)
• Red and green candle dyes
• Candle thermometer
• Candle mold (preferably round)

Step#2

Prepare the Candle Mold Ensure your candle mold is clean and dry. Apply a small amount of mold release agent or cooking spray to facilitate easy removal of the finished candle.

Step #3:

Melt the Soy Wax In a double boiler or a heat-safe container placed in a pot of boiling water, melt the soy wax flakes. Use a candle thermometer to monitor the temperature, and heat the wax to approximately 160°F (71°C).

Step 4: Add Fragrance and Color Once the wax has melted, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly. Add a few drops of watermelon fragrance oil to the melted wax and stir gently. Add a small amount of red candle dye and mix thoroughly for a vibrant watermelon look. Adjust the color intensity as desired.

Step 5: Prepare the Candle Wick While the colored wax cools, prepare the candle wick by attaching it to the bottom center of the mold using a dab of melted wax. Ensure the wick is straight and centered.

Step 6: Pour the Wax into the Mold Carefully pour the colored wax into the prepared mold, leaving a small gap at the top. Reserve a small portion of the melted wax for the green layer.

Step 7: Create the Watermelon Rind Allow the red wax to cool and slightly harden. Meanwhile, add a green candle dye to the reserved wax and mix well. Once the red layer has formed a skin but is still warm and pliable, pour the green wax on top to create the watermelon rind effect.

Step 8: Let It Set Allow the candle to cool and harden completely, preferably overnight. Avoid moving or disturbing the candle during this time.

Step 9: Trim the Wick and Decorate Once the candle is fully set, trim the wick to about ¼ inch. You can now decorate the candle by adding small wax seeds or painting them on for a realistic touch.
