Soy Wax Candles and Candle Making
Overview
Creating soy wax candles can be a rewarding and enjoyable hobby. With the candle industry booming at over $3 billion in annual sales, many enthusiasts are diving into making their own candles. This guide will walk you through the basics of crafting your own soy candles, a process that requires patience and practice. Here’s how you can get started.
Gather Your Supplies
To begin, you’ll need to gather the following items:
- Pouring Pitchers: Get both large and small.
- Wax Paper and Thermometer: A candy thermometer works well as it withstands high temperatures.
- Soy Wax: Available in block or flake form, with flakes melting more consistently.
- Wicks and Glass Containers: Choose dependable molds for your candles.
While optional, wax colorings and fragrances enhance the final product. However, it might be wise to wait until you’re comfortable with the process before investing in these extras.
Candle Making Process
1. Melting the Wax:
Place a suitable amount of soy wax in a saucepan, based on your mold's size. Set the stovetop to a bit below medium heat. Monitor the temperature, ensuring it doesn’t exceed the boiling point of 127 degrees.
2. Pouring the Wax:
Once the wax reaches 95-110 degrees, pour it into your mold. Insert the wick immediately and allow the candle to dry thoroughly.
3. Adding Color and Fragrance:
If you wish to add color, do so when the wax is on the stovetop at about 150 degrees. For fragrance, wait until the wax cools to 140 degrees and is removed from heat.
Enjoy the process of making your own soy candles, and happy candling!
