Making Delicious Scented Soy Candles. How Do I Get Started?

Scented soy candle votive candle kit

Lately on social networking sites I have been getting asked questions about what is the written procedure for making scented soy candles.  How do I get started?

First you need to consider what you want to make. The Rose candle votive kit shown on the left is a perfect example of what I mean. Are you wanting to make table decorations for your bridal shower? Perhaps bridesmaids gifts?

Do you wanting to make candles as a hobbyist just to burn around the home, on the patio, or for gifts for your friends?  Are you an entrepreneurial teen starting to make a few candles just to make a little extra money?   This is very popular under Teen Money Making Ideas.

Are you wanting to start your own home-based business making and selling soy candles by distribution to stores?  Are you a serious business entrepreneur, who wants to start an online business reselling your candle wares?

 Now you are thinking about what to do, consider what will be your unique selling propostion (USP)? What could set you apart from the rest? May I suggest keeping simple records of each individual customer, their likes, their family, their interests, even what they purchased. Perhaps you will want to make a specialty candle of the month, or make special soy candle gift baskets. Or would you love to make candles for holidays.

After your USP has been decided upon, do yourself a favor, and take the time to write out a detailed business plan. This will help make sure you have considered all of the potential obstacles you will have to overcome to achieve success.

Candle Safety Labels Must Follow Candle Industry Standards

In the United States, candles must be labeled with safety information following specific guidelines developed by the ASTM International standards organization.

These guidelines are relevant in the United States, and are often reviewed by international regulation authorities and candle organizations worldwide.

Because fires resulting from candles were on the increase,during 1997 the National Candle Association got involved at the request of the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to lead the way in pioneering an ASTM subcommittee for the purposeof developing improved candle fireworks safety standards.

Membership on the ASTM subcommittee on candle products includes safety organizations, fire officials, the CPSC, and members of the NCA and other interested parties.

This has resulted in the publication of six ASTM candle standards. Two standards are reference standards.

Key ASTM Standards for Candles*

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.

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.

Scented Soy Candles Enhanced with Pheromones are in HOT! DEMAND!

As the economy gets tougher, more and more people are looking at every conceivable business opportunity to find the best ways on how to make money from home, and in many cases they need low start up costs. How to make some serious money from home takes the development of a very unique selling proposition. One of the highly lucrative business models growing in demand at this time are products being made from bio-degradable, Eco-friendly, green,  renewable resources.

Since I have written a number of articles about how to create your own successful home based scented soy candle making business from home, I just wanted to expand upon an idea for a very special product line some of you might be interested in, or never thought about considering.

Once you decide to start a scented soy candle business from home, the next idea is how to find your own niche to stand apart from the competition.

Pheromone enhanced scented soy candles offer great potential. You want to create a very special product line which can be personalized for individual customers keeping them coming back year after year, while growing not only your customer base, but also expanding your fledgling companies profitability.

Romance has it’s own allure, and so do candles created especially to put everyone in the mood for romance.

One of the ideas you may want to consider is developing a very intimate, discreetly sold, marketable line of pheromone enhanced scented soy candle products. Imagine how the ladies and gents will be flocking to your door step before all of their romantically planned moments, dinners, holidays, even anniversaries over the course of the year. Imagine how they will be calling you to get their “special” candles made for all kinds of romantic moments. If making money is important to you, then this is a great way to develop a product line guaranteed to grow you a recurring customer base in a hurry. Personalizing and expanding your scented soy candles line even further on an individual basis can be further enhanced by good record keeping. Calling or dropping a friendly postcard, or email reminder before the date arrives to ask for special orders can make a significant increase in your profit margin. Keep track of their interests, and surprise them with your personal attention.

Please see my pages under the soy candle products tab where I have a page devoted to soy candles and pheromones, another for soy candle fragrance oils and essential oils, plus candle making supplies.

Remember, the higher the percentage of female pheromone, the more expensive it will be.

I really truly believe we have to do more for ourselves, make our own money, and build our own security.

Not only that, so many people having depleted cash flows, lots of you are trying to find a home based business model available with low start ups costs, so you can bring in some additional income. One of the ways to do so is by starting your own home based scented soy candles business.  When you work from home you will be able to start to regain a bit of control over your own finances.

Here is a link to an article I wrote on Home Based Business Ideas – Sell Soy Candles – Quickly Start a Home Business of Your Own.  Be sure to look for at the rest of the articles, including my article on Teen Soy Candle Home Business since it happens to be my most popular article todate!

Good luck,  and I wish good luck to all of the new start ups who have bought my Scented Soy Candle e-books and are busy doing  just  that. It makes me feel good to be helping people here in USA, but I love my new European, U.S.A., Canadian and Australia friends, and our business associations.
