I put the time quite high cause I made about a dozen altogher but it doesn't take long.
I just pulled various how to's off the internet and followed instructions on the kit I bought. Each box contains -
1 small beeswax candle
1 small scented soap
1 lip balm

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Beeswax candle kit
  • Soap Base
  • Lip Balm fixins
  • Paper

Steps (4 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    I bought a beeswax candle kit and followed the instructions for a small, basic floating candle but there are plenty of youtube how to's also.

  2. 2

    I made my soaps using a melt-able clear soap base and added dried botanicals and a cherry fragrance oil. I didn't have any soap moulds so used a silicone ice cube tray.

  3. 3

    Lip balm was made by melting vasaline and adding peppermint essence and edible lustre before pouring into tubs.

  4. 4

    Finally, make origami boxes to present it all in, I used paper my daughter had printed on to make it more personal but you could use anything obviously.
