What are Wooden Candle Wicks?

Wooden candle wicks are thin strips of wood. You can use them to make your own candles. The wooden wicks can be made from different trees and therefore the quality can vary. Our candle wicks are made from cherry wood and are therefore of sturdy quality.

Wooden candle wicks are a beautiful alternative to cotton wicks. They are biodegradable. Making your own natural candles is really easy this way!

What are the benefits of Wooden Candle Wicks?

Wooden candle wicks are more sustainable than regular cotton candle wicks. Thousands of candle wicks can be made from one tree.

Wooden candle wicks produce a calmer and more even flame compared to cotton candle wicks. This makes the candles burn more efficiently and longer, so you can enjoy your homemade candles for longer.

Wooden candle wicks provide better heat distribution and consistent burning. This leaves fewer wax residues and reduces the chance of smoke or fumes.

The wicks create a natural appearance and a warm, cozy atmosphere. When you have the candles lit, you hear a relaxing crackling sound, making it seem like you have a mini fireplace on your table.

How to use Wooden Candle Wicks

Cross-shaped (10 pieces): To use the cross-shaped wooden candle wicks, cut the wick to size. Slide the two parts onto each other to create a cross.

S-shaped (10 pieces): Slide the s-shaped candle wick onto the included holder.

Place the wick in the center of your glass jar. Make sure it is secure. You can use a bit of melted wax for this. Then pour the wax over the wick and let the candle cool completely before lighting it.

Let the candle burn the first time until the top layer of wax is completely melted (from the center to the edges). This is especially important the first time. It prevents tunneling, which is when the middle of the wax has melted and the outer edge has not).
