How the candle making journal printable helps you repeat your best batches

Note your wax, wick and vessel, the fragrance as a percentage and by weight, and the temperatures for melting, adding scent and pouring. When a candle turns out perfectly, you can make it again exactly the same way.

Testing pages let you compare wicks and watch each burn: how wide the pool melts, how the flame behaves, any soot or tunneling and the strength of the scent cold and hot. For soap, write down your oils and butters, the results from the lye calculator you trust, when trace arrived and eight weeks of cure, then score each bar for hardness and lather.

Who this candle making journal is for

• New and hobby candle makers learning how to test wicks and fragrance loads
• Soap makers who want proper records of their cold process and melt and pour batches
• Small craft businesses trying new scents and working out prices for markets
• Anyone choosing a thoughtful gift for a candle or soap maker

Design and printing

• Elegant, minimal white pages with soft blush pink details that save ink
• Wide margins, so nothing is trimmed on a home printer
• Portrait pages in Letter (8.5 by 11 inches) and A4 (210 by 297 mm)
• Undated and reusable, so you can build a making binder of your own
• Write temperatures in °F or °C, and read the fragrance chart in grams or ounces
• Keep it in a binder or on a clipboard, or have it spiral bound at a copy shop
