Pre-mixed candle dyes, white candle blanks, and lots of fun. 🍄 With my “Lucky Mushroom” craft kit, you can transform white candles into small, personal lights of good luck. Dip the bell-shaped tops of the small pillar candles into bright fly agaric red and then decorate them with white dots. The taper candles can also be transformed into cheerful lucky charms with a red tip and white dots. The additional forest green invites you to try out wintery color combinations and your own ideas. This creates candles to keep, give away, and design together – for Christmas, New Year’s Eve, or simply whenever someone could use a little luck. Free shipping according to our shipping terms. Your color tins, candles, and instructions will arrive carefully packaged.Your Lucky Mushroom Workshop with Two Candle DyesThis kit is designed for small lucky lights and fly agaric candles: You receive two pre-filled color tins in fly agaric red and forest green with refills, 50 white candle blanks, a white candle pen, and wrapping paper. The small bell-shaped candles and doll lights complement the taper candles – for personal lucky charms to keep and give away.Would you like to try more colors and other candle shapes? The larger “Rainbow Times” Set contains four color tins, double the amount of prepared color wax, and 50 candles in four shapes. Both sets include a short paper instruction sheet, safety instructions, a video tutorial, and the detailed practical workbook as a PDF.Pre-mixed – Melt and Dip The two dyes are already pre-mixed and ready to use in the melting tins. You don’t need to weigh out or mix any colors yourself: Heat the candle dye in the water bath according to the instructions and start dipping your candles. For the mixture, I use high-quality dipping paraffin and carefully selected oil-based dyes. The shades are prepared for you – for bright fly agaric red and natural forest green. When dipping, only a thin layer of wax adheres to the candle. This makes the candle dye particularly economical: The prepared amount of wax is enough for at least 30 to 60 candles without refilling. How many candles you can decorate depends on their size and how often you dip them. If the wax level drops after many dips, you can easily add the included refill in small portions and melt it in the water bath. What’s Included in Your Craft Kit Two Pre-Mixed Candle Dyes Fly agaric red: Candle dye in the melting tin and refill, together 400 g Forest green: Candle dye in the melting tin and refill, together 400 g The pebbles in the tins help weigh down the melting tins in the water bath. 50 White Candle Blanks in RAL Quality 10 small bell-shaped pillar candles, approx. 40 × 30 mm – ideal for your little lucky mushrooms 20 taper candles, approx. 190 × 22 mm, burn time approx. 8 hours each 20 doll lights, approx. 50 × 7 mm, burn time approx. 0.7 hours each For Decorating and Giving Away White candle pen for the typical fly agaric dots Brown wrapping paper for your self-designed lucky lights Instructions and Accessories Wooden sticks for stirring Simple step-by-step paper instructions with questions and answers 16-page practical workbook on candle dyeing as a PDF – included in the set price; available separately for €10 Safety instructions Video tutorial How to Make Your Lucky Mushroom Candles Heat the red candle dye in the water bath and dip the bell-shaped top of a white pillar candle. After it has cooled, you can apply the small fly agaric dots with the white candle pen. You can also decorate the taper candles with a red tip and white dots. With forest green, you can create more wintery candles or your own unique color combinations. Please let the dots from the candle pen dry for 2–4 hours before you package or further process the candles. Your Alternative: Wax Dots Would you also like to create the white dots from wax? Then you can alternatively shape them from a white wax sheet and attach them to the candle. This is a bit more involved, but then the decoration is also made of wax. The wax sheet is not included in the set. A white candle pen for the dots is included in your set. What You Need in Addition A cooking pot with a diameter of approx. 25 cm Water for the water bath A suitable electric stove – no gas stove Important: Heat the wax exclusively in the water bath and follow the included safety instructions. Ensure good ventilation while dyeing the candles. Dipping Wax – Not Recommended for Pouring or Rolling Candles The pre-mixed dipping paraffin is intended for dyeing finished candle blanks. Although it contains oil-based dye and could generally be used in other ways, I recommend it neither for candle pouring nor candle rolling: using the ready-made color mixture for these techniques would be very wasteful. Other formulations are better suited for these techniques. A Gift Full of Creative Possibilities Give the complete set to someone who loves being creative – or surprise your loved ones with self-designed lucky lights. Every candle carries your own idea and a little piece of your time. With a love of wax and the experience of our family workshop, which has been in business since 1973, I carefully put together your craft kit for you. Please note: You receive a craft kit with white candle blanks and materials for creating your own designs. The pre-dyed candles in the photos are design examples and are not included in the set.

I wish you lots of fun dyeing, decorating, and giving away good luck! Your DinahLichtermacherin & Candle Elf 🍄 P.S.: Why no gas stove? I am often asked this question. When dyeing candles, we work with hot wax – and that is not compatible with an open flame. If wax accidentally drips over the edge of the tin or wax vapors come into contact with the gas flame while working, the wax can ignite. Therefore, do not use a gas stove, but use a suitable electric stove and heat the wax exclusively in the water bath. Never extinguish burning wax with water! Please follow the included safety instructions. P.P.S.: Watch out for hot water vapor! The steam from the water bath can also become very hot. Therefore, pay attention to your hands when heating and removing the melting tins, and do not touch the hot tins unprotected. Do not let the water come to a rolling boil, and make sure the candle dye has reached the temperature specified in the instructions before you start dipping. Please also follow the included safety instructions for this.

For creative afternoons, quality family time, or as a gift for someone who loves creating things with their own hands.

Compared to the Lucky Mushroom kit, it contains two additional color tins and double the amount of prepared coloring wax. The selection of taper, pencil, star, and floating candles invites you to try out different shapes and color effects.What's Included in Your Large Kit Four Pre-Filled Color Tins with Refills Yellow: pre-mixed coloring wax in the tin plus a small refill, approx. 400 g total Orange: pre-mixed coloring wax in the tin plus a small refill, approx. 400 g total Red: pre-mixed coloring wax in the tin plus a small refill, approx. 400 g total Blue: pre-mixed coloring wax in the tin plus a small refill, approx. 400 g total Approx. 1,600 g of prepared coloring wax in total, including the included refills.

Carefully coordinated dipping steps create different color effects. Yellow and blue can produce green shades, while red and blue can create purple hues – the final color depends on the order, the color layers, and your technique. Start with light colors and work your way up to darker shades. Let each layer cool according to the included instructions, and keep the wick free of coloring wax. How to Get Started with "Rainbow Times" Prepare your workspace: Place the pot and color tins securely and protect the work surface. Read the included instructions and safety information before you begin. Melt the coloring wax: Carefully heat the opened color tins in a water bath on a suitable electric stove. Follow the temperatures and handling instructions in your guide. Stir and experiment: Gently stir the melted coloring wax and start with a sample candle. Dip and decorate: Briefly dip the white candle to the desired depth. Let it cool according to the instructions before applying further color layers. Refill as needed: Add the included refill in portions to the corresponding color and let it melt completely. Then stir carefully. What You Need in Addition A suitable old cooking pot, approx. 25 cm in diameter, in which the tins stand securely Water for the water bath A suitable electric stove A heat-resistant surface and suitable hand protection when handling hot containers Do not use a gas stove or open flame. The water level and heating must be chosen so that the tins do not float or tip over and no water gets into the coloring wax. Do not let the water boil vigorously or the pot boil dry. Keep Dyeing Instead of Buying Everything New The prepared coloring wax mixtures can be stored in the tins after they have cooled and melted again according to the instructions the next time. How many candles you can create with them depends on their size, the dipping depth, and the number of color layers. If the wax level drops, first use the included small refill. I also prepare separately available refill colors for "Rainbow Times" and my "Lucky Mushroom" candle dyeing kit: pre-mixed coloring wax, pre-cast in small cube shapes, with a total of 400 ml per color portion. The colors can be reordered individually. These refill cubes are already made of wax and color. They are melted in portions in the corresponding color tin; no additional wax or color concentrate is required. The separately offered 400-ml refill portions are not additionally included in the kit. When you run out of white candles, you can find more white table candles for dyeing here. For Dip-Dyeing and Dipping Finished Candles This kit is designed for dyeing the exterior of finished candle blanks. For completely dyeing wax when making candles by dipping or pulling, I recommend my separately available color concentrates and a candle wax suitable for the respective project. Important Tips for Your Candle Workshop Hot wax, hot tins, and steam can cause burns. Do not touch hot containers with bare hands. Heat wax exclusively in a water bath according to the included instructions and never heat it unattended. Do not let water get into the liquid wax. Do not fill the tins to the brim. Never extinguish burning wax with water. Children should only work under supervision and with the assistance of an experienced adult; hot containers and the stove should be handled by the adult. Do not consume the materials and do not use the containers and tools used for them for food preparation afterward. Follow the respective burning instructions for the finished candles. Use floating candles only in a suitable, sufficiently large container filled with water. With Workshop Expertise and a Love of Creating In our family workshop in Weidenberg, we have been working with wax and candles since 1973. I have put together "Rainbow Times" so that you can try out different candle shapes and develop your own color ideas. Brief instructions and safety information are included with your kit.

Warm orange tones for your candle ideas 20 g is enough for approx. 3–4 kg of wax, depending on the desired color intensity. With this high-yield, oil-soluble color concentrate (in powder or granule form), you decide how intensely your candles are colored. Orange brings warm color to dip-dye candles and self-poured candles. If the shade becomes too intense, carefully mix in more uncolored wax and check a cooled color sample. Choose between 10 g and 20 g. The wax color is suitable for dip-dyeing and fully coloring paraffin, stearin, rapeseed, and soy wax. One color – many possibilities Dip-dye candles: Dip white candles whole or partially into your colored wax mixture. Color gradients: Create with different color strengths and dipping depths. Pouring candles: Color the wax completely and process it into your own candles with a suitable wick. Multicolor layered candles: Pour differently colored wax layers one after another.

Orange is still supplied from my existing stock in a white cream jar Oil-soluble color granules for mixing into liquid wax 20 g for approx. 3–4 kg of wax, depending on the wax type and color intensity – even more for delicate shades Please note: You receive color concentrate, not a ready-mixed dip wax mixture. Wax, candles, wicks, spoons, and other accessories are not included. How to mix your wax color Melt your uncolored wax according to the processing instructions of the respective wax type. First, take a small amount of color granules with a small, clean, and dry spoon and add it to the liquid wax. Stir until the color has completely dissolved. Stir again in between. Let a small color sample cool and carefully add more if necessary. Dosage: maximum 1 g of color per 100 g of wax. Start significantly more sparingly for light shades. The spoon is used for taking out; a precision scale is helpful for accurately measuring small quantities. More color concentrate intensifies the shade. More uncolored wax lightens the mixture. Wax type, the wax's own color, and processing affect your color result.

Here you will find suitable white table candles for coloring and decorating . Also for your candle pouring projects With the oil-soluble wax color, you can completely color your self-poured candles.

Observe the maximum color addition and first perform a small test. Select the right wick separately For a well-burning candle, the wax, wick, and candle diameter must match. Color and fragrance additives can also affect the burning behavior. You receive my ungwaxed flat cotton wick separately as meter goods in different thicknesses. Check which wick is suitable for your wax type and project. A burn test with your own combination helps you with the selection. Important safety instructions Hot wax can cause burns. Never heat unattended. Observe the processing instructions and temperatures of your wax type. Do not use an open flame or gas stove to heat. Do not let water get into the liquid wax. Be careful with hot vessels and hot water vapor. Never extinguish burning wax with water. Do not ingest color granules, avoid direct skin contact, and keep away from children.

Luminous Advent Red for Festive Candles 20 g is enough for approx. 3–4 kg of wax, depending on the desired color intensity. With this high-yield oil-soluble color concentrate (in powder or granule form), you decide how intensely your candles are colored. Advent red is the lighter, classic red of my wax colors. This allows you to create festive Advent candles, bright dip-dye accents, and personalized candle gifts. Choose between 10 g and 20 g. The wax color is suitable for dip-dyeing and fully coloring paraffin, stearin, rapeseed, and soy wax. One Color – Many Possibilities Dip-Dye Candles: Dip white candles entirely or partially into your colored wax mixture. Color Gradients: Create them with different color concentrations and dipping depths. Candle Casting: Color the wax completely and process it into your own candles with a suitable wick. Multicolor Layered Candles: Cast differently colored wax layers one after another. Please follow the processing instructions for your type of wax. Personalized Gifts: Match candles to favorite colors, seasons, or your table decoration. What You Get Your choice of 10 g or 20 g of Advent red color concentrate in a bag Oil-soluble color granules for mixing into liquid wax 20 g for approx. 3–4 kg of wax, depending on the type of wax and color intensity – even more for delicate shades Please note: You receive color concentrate, not a ready-mixed dip wax mixture. Wax, candles, wicks, spoons, and other accessories are not included. How to Mix Your Wax Color Melt your uncolored wax according to the processing instructions for the respective type of wax. First, take a small amount of color granules with a small, clean, and dry spoon and add it to the liquid wax. Stir until the color has completely dissolved. Stir again in between. Let a small color sample cool down and carefully add more if necessary. Dosage: maximum 1 g of color per 100 g of wax. Start significantly more sparingly for light shades. The spoon is used for taking out the color; a precision scale is helpful for accurately measuring small quantities. More color concentrate intensifies the shade. More uncolored wax lightens the mixture. The type of wax, the wax's natural color, and the processing method influence your color result. What You Need in Addition Uncolored wax suitable for your project – for example, my paraffin wax pellets for casting, dipping, and coloring. Stearin, rapeseed, and soy wax can also be colored with the color concentrate. A suitable melting vessel A small spoon and a stirring tool A suitable electric hot plate with a water bath or a wax melter For dip-dyeing: candles to dip and a sufficiently high dipping vessel For candle casting: a suitable mold or candle vessel and a suitable wick My Workshop Tip for Dip-Dyeing I like to use clean, dry, heat-resistant old tin cans without sharp edges as dipping vessels. Place them securely in the water bath and make sure that no water gets into the wax. Your colors are far from used up, but your candles already are? Here you will find suitable white table candles for coloring and decorating . Also for Your Candle Casting Projects With the oil-soluble wax color, you can fully color your self-cast candles. Whether a delicate shade or a vibrant Advent red: Start with a small amount of color and gradually approach your desired shade. The required dosage may vary depending on the type of wax and the desired result. Observe the maximum color addition and first perform a small sample test. Select the Right Wick Separately For a candle that burns well, the wax, wick, and candle diameter must match. Color and fragrance additives can also influence the burning behavior. You can get my ungwaxed flat cotton wick separately as a by-the-meter product in various thicknesses. Check which wick is suitable for your type of wax and project. A burn test with your own combination will help you make the right choice. Important Safety Instructions Hot wax can cause burns. Never heat unattended. Observe the processing instructions and temperatures for your type of wax. Do not use an open flame or gas stove to heat the wax. Do not allow water to get into the liquid wax. Be careful with hot vessels and hot water vapor. Never extinguish burning wax with water. Do not ingest color granules, avoid direct skin contact, and keep away from children. Do not use spoons and vessels that have been used for wax for food again. Only color candles with children under supervision and with the assistance of an experienced adult.

Whether you roll or pour candles: Choose the wick thickness to suit your wax and the candle you want to make. These wick thicknesses are available Wick thickness Material Finish 3 × 9 100% cotton unwaxed 3 × 10 100% cotton unwaxed 3 × 11 100% cotton unwaxed 3 × 12 100% cotton unwaxed 3 × 13 100% cotton unwaxed 3 × 14 100% cotton unwaxed 3 × 15 100% cotton unwaxed 3 × 16 100% cotton unwaxed 3 × 17 100% cotton unwaxed 3 × 18 100% cotton unwaxed 3 × 19 100% cotton unwaxed 3 × 20 100% cotton unwaxed Choose your desired wick thickness and the required quantity when ordering. The wick is sold by the metre. Which wick thickness do I need? I deliberately do not give a blanket recommendation for a specific candle size or type of wax. This is because the right wick thickness depends on several factors: Every type of wax has its own properties. The shape and size of the candle, as well as the method of making it, also play a role. Possible colour or fragrance additives are another factor. A wick thickness that works well in one candle may not produce the same result in a different wax blend or mould. My tip: Perform a burn test with your own combination of wax, wick and candle mould before making several candles. This will allow you to see how your candle burns and whether the chosen wick is suitable for your project. At a glance 100% cotton Unwaxed flat wick Wick thicknesses from 3 × 9 to 3 × 20 Cut by the metre from the roll For rolling and pouring candles Please note: You will receive the unwaxed wick as metre goods. The roll shown and the accessories in the application images are for illustrative purposes. I wish you lots of fun trying it out and making candles! Your DinahLightmaker & Candle Elf
