What are Wooden Candle Wicks?

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

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

What are the benefits of Wooden Candle Wicks?

Wooden candle wicks are more sustainable than ordinary 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 means the candles burn more efficiently and last longer, so you can enjoy your homemade candles for longer.

Wooden candle wicks provide better heat output and consistent burning. This results in fewer wax residues and less chance of smoke or fumes.

The wicks create a natural look and a warm, cozy atmosphere. When you light your candles, you'll hear a relaxing crackling sound, as if 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 together so you get a cross.

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

Place the wick in the middle of your glass jar. Make sure it is securely fixed. You can use a bit of melted wax for this. Next, 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 middle 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 hasn't.
