HOW TO MAKE THEM AND WHERE TO BUY THEM. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW IS ONLINE
Dean Erickson
Whether you are interested in purchasing natural soy candles online or whether you want to learn how to make your very own, the web is the place to start.
Great deals can be found on soy candles just by executing a quick web search using keywords such as "wholesale soy candle". This search will bring up many sites that sell all sorts of soy candles and fragrances ranging from patchouli and lavender to lotus blossom and Mediterranean fig!
Soy candles are great purchase to make as they are made from 100% vegetable by-product, they are non-toxic, they burn cleanly, with barely any soot and are easy on people with difficulty breathing and ideal for those who get headaches from candles made with paraffin wax, a petroleum by-product. Natural soy candles burn much slower and last for about 30 to 50% longer than your average paraffin candle. Soy comes from the soy bean, nowadays produced in renewable quantities by American Farmers.
Soy candles are the easiest candles to make. All you need is soy wax, a jar, fragranced oil, dye and a wick. All of these soy candle supplies are available easily and cheaply online. Start with a web search for "How to make soy candles" and from there everything from instructions to supplies are at your fingertips.
Soy candles are easier to make than paraffin candles and the wax itself is actually easier to clean up. For beginners it is a good idea to purchase a soy candle making kit. In the candle making kit you'll find all your need to make natural soy candles. There are kits and instructions for making votive candles and container or jar candles. But there are so many types of candles you can make once you get started. There are scented soy candles, even triple scented and triple layered candles. Soy candles also make great aromatherapy candles.
In searching for your candle making supplies online do note that buying the right fragrance or mix of fragrances is the most important aspect of candle making. Double check that the fragrance you want is compatible with soy wax. As for the dye, dyes that come in wax forms are best because they can be melted with the soy wax. For container candles, make sure you start a collection of jars. Jars make for the best soy container candles.
The process is simple. You melt the soy wax, add dye and fragrance and pour into the container of your choice. The hardest bit involves placing the wick in the center and keep it there while the wax hardens, but when it does, you simply trim the wick and light your candle!
