During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

When it comes to stylish, soothing items, candles are at the top of the list, aren’t they?

Just looking at them brings a sense of calm.

In this article, we introduce handmade candle ideas.

Store-bought options are great, but some of you might be thinking, “If I’m going to have one, I’d rather make it just the way I like!”

We’re sharing a variety of ideas—like botanical candles, gradient candles, and gel candles—so feel free to use them as inspiration.

Candles are also popular as gifts, so give it a try!

Candle made with seashells

Perfect for summer! Let’s make a seashell candle that gives you a cool, ocean-like vibe.

If you use shells you picked up at the beach, you can turn your lovely summer memories into something you can keep.

Start with a larger shell as the base, then arrange small shells on top and secure them with glue.

Adding pearl embellishments is recommended to make it look even cuter.

Finally, pour melted wax into the large shell and set the wick to finish.

Prepare wax in deep blue, light blue, and clear, and pour it to create a gradient for a candle that captures the beauty of the sea.

Display it in your room as a charming accent for summer décor.
