Tis the season for candle making and home décor crafting. Whether you’re gifting or keeping for yourself, making your own table for candle making allows you to create a cozy atmosphere to relax and create.

Tools and Materials Required

Before you start, you should gather:



  • Table top (wooden, metal or plastic)
  • 4 table legs
  • Screws
  • Screwdriver
  • Drill bit
  • Electric drill
  • Level
  • Carpenter’s square
  • Goggles and gloves

Putting it Together

  1. Lay the table top on a flat surface, such as a workbench or the floor. Place the legs flat on the table top, making sure they are equidistant from each other and level with the top.
  2. Mark the outline of the legs onto the table. Use the carpenter’s square and the level as a guide.
  3. Drilling a pilot hole in each marked point. The pilot holes will accommodate the screws and make it easier to assemble the pieces.
  4. Once you have drilled the pilot holes, attach the legs to the table top with the screws.
  5. Once all the screws are secure, the table is ready for use.

Tips & Tricks

  • Wear safety gear: Dress appropriately and make sure to wear goggles and gloves when working with any power tools.
  • Measure twice – cut once: Before drilling, make sure to double check the measurements to avoid any costly mistakes.
  • Varnish your table: After your table is complete, you might want to apply a coat of varnish to give it a longer shelf-life.


  • Be creative: You don’t have to limit yourself to basic materials; you can use any material or color you want, to make your table unique.

Candle making is a timeless craft that is becoming increasingly popular. Traditionally, it was passed down through generations to create stunning hand-crafted candles that fit almost any decor. Nowadays, anyone can get involved and make their own unique candles. If you’re ready to take up the craft, having a candle making table is a must. Here’s an easy-to-follow guide on crafting your own tabletop for candle making:

### Materials You’ll Need:

* **Table:** Depending on the size of the table you need, you can get a simple, plain wooden table from almost any store.

* **Cutter:** Used to cut the wax to the desired size.

* **Brush/comb:** Used to evenly spread the melted wax before it cools.

* **Measuring cup:** To get the desired amount of wax.

* **Tray:** To contain and separate the wax.

### Step 1: Prepare the Table

**Choose a table:** First, select the type and size of table you want. Depending on the amount of wax you are going to use, you may want a long, narrow table or a shorter, wider one. Be sure to pick one that is strong enough to handle the weight of the wax.

**Secure it to the ground:** It’s also important to make sure that the table is secure and will not move or wobble while in use. You can use screws or adhesive to secure the table to the ground or to the wall.

### Step 2: Prepare the workspace

**Choose a location:** Select a place for your table that is away from any possible sources of heat or flame that could cause an accidental fire.

**Line the table:** Line the table with foil to keep it clean and prevent any spills that could damage it.

### Step 3: Prepare the Equipment

**Set up wax catches:** To contain any spilled wax, lay down several waterproof mats or trays underneath the table to catch any wax that spills or overflows while melting.

**Fix any wicks:** If you are using pre-made wicks, be sure to attach them to the containers before filling them with wax.

### Step 4: Preparing the Wax

**Melt the wax:** Fill the tray with the measured amount of wax that you need for your project. Place it over a stove or use a double boiler method to melt it slowly.

**Add fragrance and coloring:** Once melted, you can add fragrances and coloring of your choice to the melted wax to give it your own unique touch.

**Pour it into containers:** Pour the melted wax into the containers with the pre-attached wicks. Make sure the wicks are centered and that you are pouring an equal amount of wax into each container.

### Step 5: Finishing Up

**Allow the wax to cool:** Once the wax is poured, let the containers cool down before handling them. To speed up the process, you can use a fan to cool the wax quickly.

**Trim the wick:** Trim the wicks to the desired size and shape.

**Enjoy!** Now you can enjoy your handmade candles and use them to decorate your home.
