These candles are not scented. The Candle-Making Process Don starts out with 18 pounds of wax at a time and melts it on an electric stove in a special kettle that has an easy pour spout. To make the candles Don melts wax and adds coloring from either a tablet or powder form. At this stage the scent is added as well. He can make virtually any color, and has over 40 scents on hand, which he uses singly or in combinations.
French vanilla is the most popular scent.
After Don is done making the core candles they go to Marilyn, she puts on the final designs and decorations. Currently they are making white snowman candles and Marilyn gives them each a happy little face, scarf and winter hat. She also does the cutouts, such as bears, stars, the 'N' for Nebraska, etc. These are made from a white core candle dipped in another color of wax and a cookie cutter is used to cut away the exterior color and expose the white candle beneath. Marilyn incorporates her love of flowers with her candles.
