How to Make Candles

Help me give my students the materials to learn how to make candles and other crafts.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Stribling's classroom raised $724

This project is fully funded

My Students

DWES students are full of life and very determined about learning, but there is a lack of resources for them at home as well as in the community. This project would help to get any supplies that are needed to support their education.

My Project

Students will learn how to make candles. They will be able to pick the smell that best suits them, they will get a chance to pick from the variety of containers, different sizes, and colors that they want that best fits their personality. Students will put the containers/jars together (attach the wick stick or stem to the jars/containers), watch and assist in melting the wax, and get to discover how it becomes a solid. Students will be allowed to take their candle home after the finished product. They will learn how calming and soothing candle making can be with the different fragrances they will smell.
