Soy Wax Candles In Teacups Another Great Soy Candle Gift Idea

Gift idea soy candle in a teacup

Make A Soy Teacup Candle

Many ”beautiful” Teacups and Saucers can be found in thrift stores. They make a really beautiful addition to any product line you might be trying to sell, or just to use as a great gift for birthdays, holidays, or perhaps a special occasion.

Here are items you will need to make Teacup Candles:

You Will Need The Following:

1. Teacups (the saucer is optional)  I found these at the local Salvation Army Thrift Store. 
2. Soy Candle Container Wax (I buy mine from Candlewic.) 
3. Candle Wick (Make sure the wick will be a minimum of 1″ taller than the top of the teacup)
4. Candle dye and Candle Scent (optional)
5. Stacking Pour Pots (Make a double boiler)
6. Thermometer
7. Hot Glue Gun

Teacup Soy Candle Directions:

Set a Candlewick In Your Soy Teacup Container

1. First wash saucer and teacup, and wipe them completely dry.

(You don’t want water in the wax, or water spots on your finished teacup or saucer.)

2. Select a candle wick, adhere it to the bottom center of the teacup using your hot glue gun. (I use a the hollowed out portion of a bic pen, run my candlewick into it, because it makes it easier to press the wick in place exactly where i want it.)

3.  Center your candle wick and hold it in place on the top of the candle container. (I use the glue to hold the wick on the dowel, and a bit on the side of the container to hold the dowel centered while I am making the candle).

4. Add wax into your double boiler, melt it, and add dye and fragrance following a soy candle recipe, or manufacture’s directions.

5. Pour melted wax into your teacup container.

6. Let candle cure for a minimum of 24-48 hours before lighting.

Scented Soy Candles Teacup Candle

7. Trim candle wick to 1/4 inch before lighting it.

To give you a better idea on how inexpensive it was for me to buy two sets of teacups, I bought two separate cups and saucers for only $2.00.  When I am making these candles at home, I will make up more than one type of candle in different containers to maximize my time.  Because they are unique, and can be gift wrapped very nicely, these will quickly sell for a nice little profit.

Making scented soy candles can be a very lucrative home based business model, for more information on how to get started including writing a business plan, scenting your soy candles, complete instructional guide books on how to make soy candles and tealights can be found on the homepage of Scented Soy Candles.

How To Make Homemade Candle Molds

Making your own soy candle molds can be easier then you think, and there are numerous ways to create your own candle molds. If you don’t mind funny feet, and want a larger candle, you could cut the top off of a soda bottle. Just remember to look for smooth sides on your containers, if you plan to remove the candles to burn as free standing pillar candles. If the sides are not smooth, the candles won’t slide out once they are cured.  When beginning to look around for ideas on soy candle containers, the primary consideration is whether the container is smooth sided, heat-resistant, and leak proof.

Aromatherapy Oils, Essential Oil, Fragrance Oil, or Hydrosol For Candles

By Debra Hardy 2010-08-18

Balsam and Cinnamon Fragrance

Unless you want to know how to make an unscented soy candle, consider this article a crash course on how to select pure high quality scents. Is it an  Aromatherapy Oil, an Essential Oil, Fragrance Oil, or Hydrosol?

Know How To Identify Perfume Oils, Flower Water, and Pure Aromatherapy Oils

With so many choices to make, knowing how to identify a pure aromatherapy oil from the fakes on the markets can be very confusing. Unfortunately  hydrosols, fragrances oils, and essential oils are sold throughout all over the Internet, and in hobby and craft stores making it very difficult for the uninformed to make the best choice possible.

To help you understand, the therapeutic properties contained within pure essential oils are used in the practice of aromatherapy. Fragrance oils do not hold any  therapeutic properties possessed by pure essential oils.  Hydrosols have no therapeutic properties of their own, plus they are considered a ‘by-product’ of the pure essential oil distillation process.  This is why it is being able  to identify and tell the differences between these three different oils can be difficult.

Essential Oils – Do NOT Buy Altered or Adulterated Products

Every individual essential oil is rendered from a unique plant. With costs rising, profit margins decreasing, many individuals, and companies are trying to cut costs, and ‘copy’ natural essential oils. The fact is, nature’s essential oils are expensive to produce.  Most important you need to understand, there are no healing properties, or therapeutic value to be found in adulterated or synthesized ‘copies’ of the original essential oils.

Pure Essential Oils Chemical Make-Up

Essential oil when produced consist of difficult to identify individual chemical components and are extremely complex substances and difficult to isolate.  Plus factors surrounding the growth of the plant itself, and how it is impacted by nature itself, make it ‘difficult’ at best, if not impossible to replicate factors related to growth and natures influence.  (Natural impacts are shown below, but the list is not an exclusive list.)

• The weather.

• What country a plant is grown in.

• Soil quality – what condition is the soil chosen to grow the plant in.

• What time of day is the plant harvested and distilled.

• Even the altitude of the soil will impact the growth of the plant. For example, a lavender plant grown at a low altitude will have a different chemical structure, that a lavender play grown above 2000 feet.

When purchasing essential oils, you must be aware essential oils are sometimes sold as a pure product when, in reality they are not. Second, this altering of the essential oils may not be identified on the product label.  The most important thing you need to understand however, is a pure essential oil will not lose the therapeutic properties essential for the healing process, it will not be diluted, and it will not be chemically changed in any form.

Hydrosols Used in Aromatherapy

Flower water are also referred to as floral waters. Some properties of essential oils exist in hydrosols, because flower water is actually the waste water of a essential oils distillation produced. (Not oil)

Essential oil is thought of as a non water-soluble product, but some of the essential oil components actually dissolve in the water base, and can be blended with                   to make a plant hydrosol.  As a result of this, adulterated hydrosols can be found in circulation, being sold almost the same as essential oils.

Jasmine is one example of a ‘fake hydrosol and producing both the hydrolat, and the actual essential oil. Consider this essential oil carefully before purchasing it, because the process to make Jasmine ‘essential oil” is a process known as solvent extraction, as a result you can not buy a Jasmine product named ‘pure’.

Remember, the fragrance oil is quite popular within the USA, but they are completely synthetic, and do not contain any therapeutic properties like those within essential oils. Fragrance oil is used in the perfume industry, because the smell itself is the most important quality.

If the smell of the soy candle is all that is desired, not the healing properties of the scented soy candle itself, fragrance oil can actually be a cheaper alternative, as long as you remember the healing, therapeutic values of essential oils are non-existent in fragrance oil. Many home-made bath and beauty products are made by hobbyists, and small business owners because they are less expensive to use when producing their products.

Identify The Difference Between Fake Oils vs. Pure Essential Oils

Hopefully, this will make it a little easier for you to identify how to tell the difference between fake essential oils, pure essential oils, and hydrosol, or flower water.  By continuing to study the subtle differences between hydrosols, those who are selling fake essential oils, fragrance oils, and the real essential oils, you should be able to select a good supplier of pure essential oils, not substandard products.

Soy Candle Heart Shaped Cherry Scented Tart

The website Scented Candles Today has a great picture of 3 layered candle Heart Shaped Tart.  There is also a picture of a 3 layer tart cube I found really interesting, so I decided to point a link to the website to show you both if you are looking for new ideas on new types of candles to make.

I am not sure if  it the two candles shown are made of soy candle wax or not. The important thing, is this is another idea for a unique candle melt. The idea of making a 3 layered Candle Tart is a really great idea. I can hardly wait until Valentine’s Day comes around again so I can buy the heart mold at one of the local craft stores, and make some of my own 3 layer tarts. I think I will need the muffin pan to make them thick enough to get some nice colors.

Quit buying overpriced commercial candles - you can make better candles in the comfort of your own home. Get your own copy of How to Make Soy Candles Ebook jammed full of everything you need to save big bucks and make quality candles and tarts.

Salt Candle Holders Are Mother Nature’s Own Air Freshener

Scented-Soy-Candles is thrilled to bring you my initial results after testing my new Himalayan Salt Crystal Tea Light Candle Holder, and the opportunity to own your one too!

Scented Soy Candles Tea Light Salt Candle Holder

My new crystal salt tea light candle holder really surprised me. About 6 hours after burning soy tea lights in the salt crystal candle holder the outside of the candle holder had attracted moisture, and the sides were damp to the touch. From my research, the salt crystal attracts moisture during the negative ion creation process . When you get your own salt crystal tea-light holder, remember to place your soy tea light holder on a stand, or coaster before lighting the scented soy tea-light candles. Surface damage could occur as surface moisture collects when conditions are right.

My candle holder is really beautiful lit at night don’t you agree? I really was pleased by how bright it appeared with just the light produced by my tea light candle.

Keep reading and learn where to get your own Himalayan Salt Tealight Candle Holder.

My sinuses are wide open this morning, which is extremely unusual due to allergies. Past two nights, I have slept really sound. My concentration seems to have improved, which brings me back to what got me interested in the first place. I work on the computer several hours every day, and have for years. Recently a friend pointed out from observation, I had difficulty keeping focus on one thing at a time. The data with the candle holder indicating concentration would improve was attracted me in the first place.

Electronic Smog and Light Therapy

Let’s touch upon “electronic smog” produced by computers, TV’s, electronics which is bombarding us with an electromagnetic frequency around 100 160 Hz (Hertz). Normal brain waves vibrate at roughly 7.83 Hz. the same as the Schumann Resonance Frequency. Sitting in front of a computer, or TV’s is exposing our bodies to vibration frequencies often 20 times higher than our natural brainwaves. Research shows this can imprint upon our brainwaves, causing lack of concentration, concentration weakness, insomnia, even nervousness. The constant exposure to varying frequencies also increases the build up of free radicals with the human body, a proven cause of cancer, when the natural development of our cells is disrupted or altered.

My salt crystal tealight candle-holder distributor advised me to place a salt candle holder on my computer table, where I work all day, and another within a few feet of where I watch TV to counter the electronic smog. In fact, she surrounds her electronic smog bombardment area with salt crystal lamps and salt crystal candle holders to get maximum exposure to the good ions.

When our eyes are exposed to certain wavelengths produced by these salt crystals (especially in the orange crystal wavelength range) epidermal skin tissue reorganization is positively influenced. Allopathic medicine reports I am reading discuss how these therapeutic wavelengths are being used when treating skin cancer.

Testing was conducted on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptomatic children. ADHD symptoms subsided after being exposed to crystal salt lamps for only one week. At the end of the test period, when the lamps were removed, the symptoms returned.

Europeans have believed for many years in using Himalayan Salt to treat a number of aliments including rheumatism, high blood pressure, migraine headaches, allergies, asthma, this salt is know for it’s unique air purifying abilities.

Research conducted in a small Japanese study found blood pressure was positively affected by the Schumann resonance frequency, therefore more testing on human health is warranted.

How Does the Ionization Process Occur?

As the soy wax tea light candle holder absorbs moisture the negative ion field builds up. Excessive bad or positive ions bind with the (good) negative ions, neutralizing the positive ion charged atmosphere within a room.

The Himalayan salt crystal vibrates at the same electromagnetic wave length as our brainwave patterns do. Salt crystal appears to naturally amplify the resonant frequency 8-10 cycles per second, helping harmonize the artificial frequencies. Which in turn, helps counter the imprinting process of the higher faster wavelengths produced by electronic smog.

My plan is to continue burning scented soy tealight candles in my natural Himalayan salt crystal candle holders, and to buy more of them, in addition to reselling both the Himalayan salt crystal tea light candle holders and Himalayan salt crystal lamps. I am able to offer them via my website now. You can purchase your own candle holder with, or without purchasing my eBook, or receiving all of my bonus ebooks.
