108 Candles, 3 Days, 1 Big Success!

The Challenge This past weekend, the studio was transformed into a high-speed production line. I had a special project on the table: 108 custom 2.5 oz candle favors for a local event. The timeline? Just 72 hours.

The Process It was a whirlwind of White Tea fragrance oil and hand-pressed wax seals. Pouring at this scale requires a lot of patience and even more precision. From ensuring the temperature was perfect for every single pour to hand-stamping each wax seal, I lived and breathed candles for three days straight.

The Result Was it a challenge? Absolutely. But seeing all 108 candles lined up, finished with those elegant seals, made every hour worth it. I’m thrilled to report that they were a total hit at the event!

Maker’s Note: There is something so satisfying about seeing a vision come to life in bulk. It reminded me why I love what I do—creating small moments of joy that guests get to take home.
