👻 Step-by-Step Halloween Candle Making
Step 1: Choose Your ToAuto Wax Melter
Match the melter to your needs：
| Use Case | Recommended ToAuto Model | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Trying a few spooky candles | 1.5L or 4L | Simple knob control, ideal for soy & paraffin |
| Making sets for friends or markets | 6L or 8L | Digital display, great for IGI 6006 & soy blends |
| Small-batch selling | 10L or 15L | High capacity, digital control, beeswax compatible |
Step 2: Melt the Wax
Fill your ToAuto melter with wax chunks.
Set the temperature according to your wax type (typically between 160–185°F).
Wait until fully melted and smooth.
Step 3: Add Color & Scent
Once melted, stir in Halloween colors. Think deep orange, blood red, or shadowy black.
Add spooky fragrance oils (typically at 6–10% of wax weight). Popular scents: pumpkin, bonfire, vanilla bourbon.
Step 4: Prepare Molds or Containers
Secure wicks into Halloween-shaped molds or jars.
Consider layering colors for a haunted effect.
Step 5: Pour the Wax
Carefully pour wax into containers.
Let cool slowly at room temperature to avoid sinkholes or cracks.
Step 6: Finish & Spookify
Once set, label your candles with creepy names like “Witch’s Brew” or “Midnight Spell.”
Package with black ribbon or themed tags.
