Another little tool I wish I’d had when I was making candles. 😊
This little helper started with a message asking if we could make a wick trimming guide.
At first, we weren’t sure how necessary a wick trimming guide would be…Then we looked at the candles I still have from my candle-making days — some wicks a bit too long, others cut too short 😂. Turns out, a little guide would have come in handy after all!
So here it is: our Wick Trimming Guide. A simple, reusable helper that gives you a height reference to trim against, taking some of the guesswork out of finishing your candles.
It’s now on our website, available in 3.2mm, 4mm, 4.8mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm and 12 mm heights.
Have we missed a height you need? Let us know — we’ll be happy to add it! 😊
Thank you for sharing your ideas with us — they’re often where our next little helper begins.
