COCONUT SHELL CANDLE

When making coconut shell candles, they’re endlessly customizable in scent and style.
Firstly, here is a list of supplies that cover everything you need to make coconut bowl candles:

Supply List

1. Half of the coconut shell


2. One packet of candle wicks
3. One packet of candle-making soy wax
4. One spoon / spatula
5. Sandpaper
6. Electric Pot
7. Varnish Paint

How to make a coconut shell candle?


Step 1: Preparing the coconut

We use the sandpaper to rub away the coconut husk. Pay particular attention to the bottom ends
of your coconut, making sure to rub extra hard on both sides so that your coconut candle will
balance nicely on a smooth surface after that we apply varnish paint to smoothen also and
beautify the coconut shell.

Step 2: Measuring your wax

Take one half of your coconut shell and fill it up with wax to around the ¾ mark. Double that
amount of wax and that is how much you’ll need for each candle.

Once you have the correct amount of candle wax measured out, put it into your double boiler pot
and start melting.
Step 3: Attach your candle wick

Dip the metallic end of your candle wick into the melted wax. Use the hot wax to stick your wick
to the center of your coconut shell candle. After 5 minutes the wax will harden and should stay
relatively steady without the need to hold it.

Step 4: Pour in your wax

Before we pour the wax, we cool down the wax slightly. We even use thermometer to measure
the temperature of the wax and once it hits 140 degrees we are ready to start pouring.

Step 5: Keeping your wick in place

Once our candle is filled with melted soy wax, cut the wick using a pair of scissors so that the
top of the wick stands around a few centimeters above the edge of the coconut shell. Later on,
once your coconut candle is made you can cut the wick a little bit more. We take the stick and
position one on either side of your candle wick. Wedge them together to keep the candle wick
firmly in place.
This is our finished craft. We remove the background to clearly see the beauty and how nice
our coconut shell candle.

CONCLUSION:
In conclusion, all I can say about coconut shell candle making is that it is not easy and
very tiring you have to take part more patience because there are times that the wick will not
stick to the center but in overall, we enjoyed in experiencing in making this kind of craft.
