Step 1: 🌼 Part One: Making the Camellia Candle Jar

In your mixing container, combine Boowannite powder with Boowannite liquid at a 100:35 ratio. Stir steadily with your mixing stick until it’s completely smooth—no lumps, no worries.

💡 Pro Tip: Add your pigment after mixing the base. A few drops go a long way. Mix again until the color is even and luscious.

Step 2: Step 2: Pour and Tap

Gently pour your mixture into the jar base mold. Once filled, lightly tap the mold on your table to help air bubbles rise and escape. Don’t rush—this step keeps your final piece silky smooth.

Step 3: Step 3: Petal Perfection

Now for the floral lid! Carefully pour your mix into the flower-shaped lid mold. Here’s where your fine brush comes in—gently sweep it along the petal edges to coax out hidden bubbles. This ensures crisp petal details that will steal the show.

Step 4: Step 4: Set and Demold

Let the pieces sit for about 20 minutes. Once solid, demold gently and admire your blooming creation.

Step 5: Step 5: Sand and Seal

Smooth out any imperfections with your sanding tool. Then apply a thin layer of Boowannite Sealer. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then apply a second coat. Wait another 10 minutes, and finish with a third coat. Now be patient—let it fully cure for 12 hours before you pour any wax inside.

Step 7: Step 1: Melt the Wax

Gently melt your soy wax in a double boiler or wax melter. Once fully melted, let it cool to 70–80°C. This is the sweet spot for pouring.

Step 8: Step 2: Warm the Mold

While your wax is cooling, use a heat gun to warm the candle refill mold slightly. This helps reduce air bubbles when pouring.

Step 9: Step 3: Set the Wick

Before pouring the wax, place your refill mold on our Quick Magnetic Candle Wick Centering Setter Tool. This handy tool helps position your wick perfectly in the center—fast, precise, and stress-free. Pop the wick in place, and you’re ready to pour.

Step 10: Step 4: Pour and Set

Now pour the wax gently into the mold, making sure everything stays centered. Let it sit for 3–4 hours, undisturbed, until fully set.

Step 11: Step 4: Final Touch

Demold the candle refill and place it gently into your beautiful Camellia jar.
