What you'll do:
In this fun class, you'll pour and customize 3 natural soy wax candles using wood wicks and a variety of aromatic scents.
Learn the basics of candle making — including the differences between wax types, wick styles, and essential oils — while adding your own creative flair.
Why we love it for your party:
You’ll leave with candles as cute as they are custom (Pick your scent, pour your wax, and create a trio of candles that are totally you)
It’s relaxing, creative, and smells amazing (This is the kind of DIY that soothes your senses while sparking your imagination)
Perfect for sipping while you pour (BYOB and turn this into a full-on candle-pouring happy hour with your crew)
Set in the heart of Old Town charm (Make a day of it with shopping, dining, and exploring the historic streets of Alexandria)
No experience necessary, just good vibes (Our friendly instructors make it easy, fun, and totally beginner-friendly)
