Turn Your Vessel into a Candle
Give your cherished piece A Second Life with our custom candle pouring service.
Have a special vessel you’d love to see glowing with candlelight? Whether it’s a family heirloom, a thrift store find, or a unique piece you just can’t let go of, I can fill it with 100% natural soy wax in the scent of your choice.
Every piece is hand-poured in small batches, ensuring your vessel not only looks beautiful but burns beautifully, too.
How It Works
1. Send a Photo
Email or DM us a clear photo of your vessel along with its dimensions (height, width, and approximate volume if you know it).
2. Safety Check
We accept glass, ceramic, or metal containers that are heat-safe, clean, and free of cracks. If you’re unsure, we’ll help you decide.
3. Choose Your Scent
Select from our curated scent list, or let us recommend one based on the season.
4. Quote & Approval
We’ll confirm your vessel’s volume (you can measure at home or we’ll measure after receiving it) and give you a final quote using our simple formula:
$12 base fee + $1.25 per ounce of wax
(Base covers labor, setup, and wicks — per-ounce covers wax & scent.)
Example Pricing:
- 5 oz vessel = $18.25
- 10 oz vessel = $24.50
- 20 oz vessel = $37.00
5. Ship your Vessel
Ship your vessel to us (carefully packaged!)
6. Enjoy Your Finished Candle
Once poured and cured, we will ship it back with tracking. Your vessel is now a candle—and ready to shine again.
Measuring Your Vessel
Option 1 – At Home:
- Fill your vessel with water, then pour into a measuring cup to see the volume in ounces.
- Send me that number so I can give you an accurate quote.
Option 2 – I Measure:
- If you’re not sure, I’ll measure after receiving your vessel and confirm the final price before pouring.
