“Who Else Wants To Know The Secrets To Making Soy Candles?”

Dear Friend,

I like to share with you my soy candle making steps. Soy candles are probably the easiest candles to make compared to other types of candles like paraffin candles.

Soy Candle Making: The Basics

Soy candle making requires some of the same basic supplies you would get if you were making basic candles. You can buy all of your soy candle making supplies from the internet or from any local hobby shop or craft store.

Lots of people prefer soy candles over traditional candles because they retain their scents longer. Soy candles making is preferred my most candle makers because they are also cheaper than beeswax candles and plus they use all natural ingredients.

Another reason why soy candle making is so popular is that they produce a lot less soot compared to a paraffin wax candle and they are easy to clean up after you make your candle. Soy candles wax are made from plant oils which is a lot more environmentally friendly compared to other candles that use petroleum in their wax.

When you are ready to buy your supplies for your soy candle keep in mind that you can mix and match scents for your soy candle. You can mix different types of fragrances to get the one that you like the best. Typical soy candles uses about a pound of wax, but remember to make your fragrance oil before you add it to your wax.

Soy Candle Making Steps:

Soy Candle Making Step 1 – Decide on how many soy candles you want to make. If you are planning on using a votive candle it takes about two ounces of wax per votive.

Soy Candle Making Step 2 – Melt your wax and make sure you are doing this in a controlled area and you are a control method to regulate your temperature.

Soy Candle Making Step 3 – Once the wax is melted you need to add your color to your wax. Be very careful when adding color to your wax to make sure you don’t’ get burned by the wax. You need to have something like a flat bottomed wire whisk to stir the color into the wax.

Soy Candle Making Step 4 – Add your fragrance oil to the wax and you should mix this into the wax for at least two minutes. This will ensure your fragrance oil is well blended into the wax.

Soy Candle Making Step 5 – Pouring your wax into your votive. Your votive needs to be slightly above room temperature when you pour the wax into the votive.

Soy Candle Making Step 6 – Once your wax has cooled down some you want to add your candle wick. Let your candle cool in a natural manner, but before the wax gets to hard you want to insert your full extended wick.

Now you are done and you just have to wait for the candle to completely cool down. Keep in mind that these steps are just very basic steps and to really make a soy candle you will need to understand each step in greater detail.
