Your cart is empty. Here are fun hobby kits for adults - a candlemaking starter kit that doesn't need a wax warmer for candle making, because you don't have to melt the wax! This beginner candle making kit contains a beautiful silver vessel, a pound of candle powder, and 24 wicks. Play with these adult crafts to your heart's content; you could have a new candle every single day!
You'll fall hard for these arts and crafts for adults. First of all, the wax for candle making is actually candle sand, which is 100% plant-based, a sustainable alternative to your usual soy, paraffin, beeswax, or coconut candle types. The pearls in these adult craft kits are not scented, so feel free to change up the scent as often as you like by dropping some essential oil onto each wick. Time to dispose of the candle powder? Put it in the compost heap. Don't compost? They biodegrade and add organic material back into the earth.
Next, there's a reason why florists and events planners love candle sand. The pearls in this candle kit are so easy to clean up. Unlike traditional wax, which adheres to vessels, all you need to restore the vessel to new is to wipe it with a microfiber cloth. The DIY candle making kit will give you the warmth and romance of your favorite candle - without the messy clean-up after. Also, it's worthy to note that wax beads for candles actually float! How about some cute water candles? Incidentally, they're soot-free and clean-burning, too!
The clean-burning and natural ingredients of these candle pearls with wicks make it a crowd-pleasing gift all year round. Give it as a Christmas gift, anniversary gift, or a birthday gift, and let your favorite arts and crafts lover get really creative! Imagine, they can infuse new scents as often as they like, submerge the pearls in water, and indulge their most fanciful candle craft ideas.
Grab these craft sets for adults for someone - or yourself - and go crazy with how much fun they are to make!

The look is absolutely gorgeous, and the concept is great. I feel safer if this candle was to get knocked over that it would be less of a fire risk. I was originally Intrigued with the idea of using scented oils and changing out the wax as I see fit. However that didn't work. The oils didn't smell as good as they normally do when adding to melted wax and allowed to harden, so getting the scented wax would be important. The wixs also burn down very fast and the wax pooled and put out the flame often. The quality of wax is good. There was no discoloration and it stayed nice and bright. No dark smoke or soot on the ceiling.

This is another pearl wax sand kits. You have to provide your own scents. It makes a fun and quick little project. It comes with a pound of the pearl wax and 24 wicks. You can put as many/few wicks as you like, and use as much or little wax as you want. So it is very customizable in those regards.At $30, I think it's a little pricey, so maybe wait for a coupon or sale. You CAN easily reuse the container, even after you've finished with the pearl wax, so that's a plus.

I recently tried out the LILY LADUE Pearl Wax Sand Candle Making Kit, and it was a really fun and unique experience! I've made traditional candles before, but this sand candle concept was totally new to me.First off, the kit comes with everything you need to get started, which is great, especially if you're a beginner. You get a pound of the pearl wax sand (which is unscented, by the way), a good amount of wicks, and a really nice, hammered silver metal vessel.The process is super simple. You just pour the wax sand into the vessel, insert the wicks where you want them, and light them up! It's almost like playing with sand, but you end up with a beautiful candle. I really liked the flexibility of being able to arrange the wicks however I wanted.The pearl wax burns cleanly and evenly, and the unscented aspect is perfect if you're sensitive to strong fragrances or if you want to add your own essential oils. The metal vessel is also a nice touch – it's sturdy and adds a touch of elegance to the candle.I found it to be a really relaxing and enjoyable activity, and it would be perfect for a craft night with friends or family. It's also a great option for teens who are interested in trying candle making.Honestly, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this kit. It's a really unique and fun way to make candles, and it's perfect for beginners and experts.If you're looking for a new and interesting craft to try, I'd definitely recommend giving the LILY LADUE Pearl Wax Sand Candle Making Kit a shot! It's a fun and easy way to create a beautiful and personalized candle.

This is so cool! I love that you make the candle and it's super easy! I thought I'd have to glue the wicks in place, but you don't even have to do that. They just stay in place with the beads. It turned out so pretty! I think I might add some fragrance, but it's nice to just have a pretty piece to burn that doesn't mix scents. Highly recommend! The only thing you have to be careful about is blowing it out because the beads will scatter if you blow too hard! lol.

It comes with everything you need to get started: 1 lb of unscented pearled sand, 24 wicks, and a beautiful gold metal vessel.

I especially love the vibrant finish the sand gives the candles. The included wicks fit perfectly into the vessel, and the candle burns evenly. Plus, the fact that it’s unscented means you can add your own fragrance if you like, which gives it an extra personal touch.It’s a great project to do solo or with friends and family. I made a couple of candles in one afternoon, and the process was so relaxing and enjoyable. It’s a fun and creative activity that also results in something beautiful and functional at the end.I highly recommend this kit to anyone interested in candle making, especially as a beginner or gift idea.

This candle making kit is a lot of fun and perfect for a creative afternoon project! The pearl wax sand is easy to work with, and the included vessel and wicks make it simple to customize your candle designs. I will say the burn time is a bit shorter than I hoped, but it’s still a great way to make beautiful candles without much fuss. I made one during a rainy afternoon, and it turned out so cute it’s now a centerpiece on my coffee table!

This is such a fun and creative way to do candles! This kit has pearl wax sand and 24 wicks that you can use in whichever design that you want! The vessel is really pretty and is an awesome decor piece even when you finish the candle! I like that you can add essential oils to the wicks to get whatever scent you want and then when you've finished with scent you can change out the wick and use a different oil. Overall, this is the most fun I've had with a candle before, and the compliments have been great too!!
