Let\u2019s jump right in to what you all are wondering: how to pour a candle. At The Candle Mercantile, customers are able\/welcome to come in and pour their very own candles. As an employee, we pour every single candle that is for sale in the shop, or shipped out for other sales. Therefore, one may consider us experts, and we are there to help you through every step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first step in pouring a candle is picking out your scents. While TCM has over 90 scents to choose from, this can seem daunting at first. Customers are encouraged to smell and write down all of their favorite scents before sitting down at the bar. After they have gone through the fragrance wall, they choose a candle jar to pour into. TCM has seven different 8-ounce, color jars to choose from including: red, white, cobalt, black, amber, rose gold, and silver. Once these initial steps have been completed, then customers sit down at the bar to begin crafting their own signature scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the bar is where the big decisions are made, and the fun begins. Once the customer sits down at the bar with their list of scents, an employee will help to narrow down their list until they select three to combine. Working together, they will go through a stage of trial and error to establish which three scents complement each other well, and they will pour into their candle. Once the customer has established which three scents they are going to combine, they are given the freedom to pour any proportion of those oils that they please. In a small jigger, they are able to combine their scents to their perfection creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the scent has been created to the customer\u2019s preference, an employee will bring over their candle jar full of unscented, melted wax. The customer will then pour in their scent creation, and stir with a spoon for two minutes in order to thoroughly distribute the oil throughout the whole candle. Once the two minutes are up, the responsibilities of the candle are then passed off to The Candle Mercantile employees. Now the candle will stay at the shop for 90 minutes while it hardens and the employees make sure the wick is centered, the candle is glazed, and it\u2019s wiped. Customers are able to name their candle, as well. They are given a bottom label in which they can create a name, write their scents, draw a picture, or write whatever their creative mind takes them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Customers are welcome to leave to continue to explore downtown Lake Geneva, and return after the 90 minutes to retrieve their candle. Now that you all have been given a rundown of how you can pour your own candle at TCM, head on over to the \u201ccontact\u201d page to call and set up a reservation to pour!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
