Making a pumpkin candle is a fun and creative project that you can do at home. Follow these steps to make your very own pumpkin candle:

Materials:
• Small pumpkin
• Candle wax flakes
• Candle wick
• Wick centering device
• Fragrance oil (optional)
• Double boiler
• Thermometer
• Wooden spoon or stirrer
• Knife
• Cutting board

Step 1: Cut the pumpkin
Using a knife and a cutting board, carefully cut off the top of the pumpkin. Set it aside for later use. Scoop out all the seeds and pulp from inside the pumpkin using a spoon or a scoop. Try to make the inside as clean as possible.

Step 2: Melt the wax
Fill a double boiler with water and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and place a container filled with candle wax flakes on top of the double boiler. Melt the wax flakes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon or stirrer. Be sure to keep an eye on the temperature of the wax using a thermometer, as overheating can cause the wax to ignite.

Step 3: Add fragrance (optional)
If you would like to add fragrance to your candle, now is the time to do so. Add a few drops of fragrance oil to the melted wax and stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

Step 4: Prepare the wick
While the wax is melting, prepare the candle wick. Cut the wick to the desired length, leaving a few inches extra to tie around the wick centering device. Place the wick in the center of the pumpkin and use the wick centering device to hold it in place.

Step 5: Pour the wax
Carefully pour the melted wax into the pumpkin, making sure to pour slowly and steadily to avoid spilling. Fill the pumpkin almost to the top, leaving a little space at the top for the wax to settle.

Step 6: Let the wax cool
Allow the wax to cool and solidify completely. This can take several hours, depending on the size of the pumpkin and the amount of wax used.

Step 7: Trim the wick
Once the wax has cooled and solidified, trim the wick to about half an inch above the surface of the wax.

Step 8: Replace the top
Finally, replace the top of the pumpkin and your pumpkin candle is ready to use. Light the wick and enjoy the warm and cozy glow of your homemade candle.

Note: Never leave a burning candle unattended and always keep it away from flammable materials. Visit for more info: https://unrivaledcandles.com
