When it comes to craft & activity kits Horizon Group USA has become a household name for us, they have a number of brands which include Made by Me!, Simple Trendy Modern Touch, The Young Scientist Club & more that each have their own assortment of fantastic products. The best part of all of their kits is that they are all affordable & fun. As part of their influencer program I get a box once a quarter with some fun kits to try out & review. You can see some of the past products I've featured by clicking on this link. We recently received the STMT DIY custom candle making kit which can be purchased for $16.99 on amazon & can also be found at a number of stores such as Walmart that sell their brands.
This candle making kit comes with everything you need to make two candles. You will receive three scents, two color dyes, stir sticks, scent recipe cards, two wicks, a pen and some decorating products to adorn your candle tin with. The stickers you don't use can be saved & used for other projects, you may also have some left over wax, scent liquids & dyes so as long as you pick up an extra wick or two you'll be able to make an additional candle.
Older children will be able to do this kit on their own with minimal supervision, however younger children will need help melting & pouring the hot wax into the tins. You will need a microwave safe bowl to melt the wax. You can make one candle at a time & mix the scents and color in the bowl before pouring into the tins or you can mix it around after you pour the wax into the tins.
My kids really enjoyed using this kit, and were both quite happy with how their candles look & smell after it finished hardening. We enjoy this kit because after we make them we can either keep them for use around the house or we can add them to gift bags for the holidays/birthdays, who doesn't love a useful handmade gift?
What is your favorite scent when it comes to purchasing or receiving candles?

ReplyDeleteHhhmmm...I don't have a favourite scent when it comes to candles. I should find the ones I like, actually.
ReplyDeleteI love supporting small, local candle businesses! There's always something quirky about the candles people make over here - usually to do with bonfires and buckfast.
