Simple Candle Making Hack. Wick holder.
Easy ways to secure your candle wick.
You can tie your wick around a pencil to hold it in place. But you will need to untie it and retie it to make it taunt after you pour the wax. Total pain. Either don't tie it until you pour your candle or use two craft sticks and a rubber band. Super simple. Note--rubber bands get old and break but they are great in a pinch! Or if you don't know if candle making will be your forever thing. If you make a lot of candles you may want to invest in metal wick holders.
