About this event

Celebrate the magic of winter by creating your own whimsical Winter Wonderland candle!

Get a little festive with us! Join us for this relaxing, beginner-friendly candle-making experience inspired by snowy landscapes, twinkling lights, festive colors, and holiday magic. In this workshop, you'll create a beautiful three-wick candle in an elegant white vessel, then transform it into a magical seasonal centerpiece filled with charming winter details.

Personalize your candle with adorable polar bears, penguins, miniature Christmas trees, candy canes, gingerbread cookies, gingerbread houses, snowflakes, colorful holiday accents, and other festive decorations. Add your own finishing touches with sprinkles, glitter, and shimmering mica powder to create a candle that is truly your own.

Along the way, you'll explore a curated selection of cozy winter and holiday fragrances and learn the fundamentals of candle making while creating a one-of-a-kind candle that's perfect for your home or as a thoughtful holiday gift.

Explore a curated selection of cozy winter and holiday fragrances, from warm vanilla and cinnamon to Christmas tree, winter woods, peppermint, amber, cranberry, and other festive favorites. Find the fragrance that captures your perfect winter mood.

Learn the basics of candle making as you create your candle from start to finish. You'll place your wicks, blend your chosen fragrance with melted wax, and carefully pour your candle into an elegant white vessel. Your finished candle features three wicks and creates the perfect snowy canvas for your Winter Wonderland design.

While your candle sets, enjoy a relaxing creative break by designing a festive winter bookmark with fun stickers, simple illustrations, snowflakes, Christmas details, and your own personal touches. It's a playful keepsake and a wonderful way to continue the creative experience while your candle cures.

Choose from a playful collection of handcrafted wax decorations prepared by the instructor, including adorable polar bears, penguins, miniature Christmas trees, candy canes, gingerbread cookies, gingerbread houses, snowflakes, and other festive seasonal accents.Arrange your decorations to create your own magical winter scene, then add a little extra sparkle with colorful sprinkles, glitter, and shimmering mica powder.

No experience necessary! Come ready to relax, get creative, and celebrate the magic of the winter season.
