Delicious Soy Candles Brings Fragrant Scents To Holidays
Everybody loves rich, aromatic, delicously scented soy candles. A few things will be important for you understand before you begin attempting to start making soy candles for your home based candle business, personal hobby, or just for gifts. However, there is an art to the process, and the uneducated novice can easiliy make “expensive” mistakes. Making errors in judgment can be costly, even dangerous because you may waste the soy wax, essential oil or fragrance oils, even candle wicks, or possibly even cause a fire from improper wicking.
You need to decide before jumping into any project, exactly what you want to make. Once you have made that decision, then you need to purchase the correct wicks for your particular soy candle wax, and even candle type you intend to make. Pillars, tea lights, votive candles will all need different sizes and lengths. How much fragrance or essential oil will your particular candle wax will hold. What’s to much, what’s too little? Third, but equally important, is the type of wax you are purchasing right for the candle you desire to make?
When mixing soy candle waxes with fragrance or essential oils there are known techniques that need to be followed or problems can occur. Take a look at some of the problems I have seen frequently occuring, which I have posted on my FAQ page.
Plus everyone wants the most fragrant candes possible. So learn how to do it right, keep records of what you do, how you do it. (My book provides a test record sheet) Overtime, you will save yourself many repeats of failures, and the abiltiy to reproduce successes. When you find that “one” candle idea that gives you your own Unique Selling Proposition, don’t find out to late, you don’t remember what you did.
Have fun, and don’t forget how important candle safety is. Read the candle safety articles so you are informed, and follow all safety guidelines outlined in my books.

Soy Wax Melting Safety Concerns
Soy Wax Melting Safety Tips For Scented Soy Candles
Here is what not to do when you burn your soy candles
Halloween, Christmas and Thanksgiving are coming soon, and more people make, use, and give candles as gifts then any other time of the year. So I just wanted to urge everyone not to forget safety concerns.
Learn how long to burn soy candles, how to trim the candle wicks each time, and how to prevent tunneling which the candle on the left exhibits. When candle wax burns down to the base of a glass container, there is a risk the glass could shatter from the heat. The spilling wax, and flames could start a fire. (Click here for more safety tips)
When you work with flammable candle wax making candles you must be extremely vigilant, and NEVER get distracted for any reason.
This is just one of the many reasons, I only make candles using soy wax. Although soy candle wax has a higher flash point than paraffin wax, spontaneous combustion will still occur if the wax is allowed to overheat.
The melting point of soy wax is normally between temperatures of 110°F and 130 °F. While water boils at 212° F, well below flash point’s of soy waxes, or paraffin wax.
Understanding the flash point of every wax you use is very important. Each one can be different. When any wax reaches it’s given flash point it will burst into flames by itself. You must understand the wax may not bubble or smoke, and when it explodes flaming wax can be thrown in every direction.
Avoid this potential catastrophe! Don’t risk burning down your home, or serious injury. Always use a double boiler, or a candle wax melter when you are making your candles, and follow all candle making instructions, and read any instructions from the candle wax manufacturer. A word to the wise – if the wax is smoking it’s too hot .
Never melt wax in a microwave! You cannot control the temperature wax is heated up to, and microwaves vary tremendously in output strength. For example, the butter in my microwave peanut brittle recipe burns in one microwave, and does not finish cooking in another microwave because of lower wattage.
Several soy waxes I’ve looked at recently have flash points between 450°F and 600°F. In comparison, many paraffin waxes list flash points near 395°F. The melting point of soy wax between temperatures of 110°F and 130 °F
Just one more thing. Never burn candles in front of open windows where curtains may be blown towards them from a breeze. Never burn candles where children or pets are, because they will always do the unexpected.
Let’s have a happy, healthy, wealthy, and joyously prosperous holiday season!

Mother’s Day Soy Candle Gift Ideas
How to Make Your Mother A Special Soy Candle Gift For Mothers’ Day
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day so what better way to say I love you than to make her a special Mother’s Day candle?
Floating Soy Candle Roses
What’s her favorite scent, her special color? Will you want to make some rose scented soy candles to go with a bouquet of roses you plan to give her? Or how about some floating candles? I have some heart-shaped and rose shaped candle molds that make very nice floating candles for bathtubs, or to float in the punch bowl.
Or how about making mom a special personalized candle?
Here’s just one idea that I think that would be great even for smaller children to make a unique candle decoration to give their mother on her day. And what fun you can have making them together! (Yes, adult supervision is recommended for the little kids!)
Here’s a nice touch, fill flower vases with fresh flowers or fruit’s and set a floating candle on top to complete the decoration.
Use candles with colors that complement your fruit or flower color scheme is a nice way to tie it all together.
The instructions are simple. Here’s what you will need:
A word of caution, don’t use just any candle wax if you intend to float your candle in water with anything edible, or that you will drink. I wouldn’t want paraffin wax anywhere near my food or liquid refreshments, because it’s made from petroleum-based products. Also when making your own floating soy candles, I would be very selective of the color used, and the fragrance in any floating candle I use around any liquid that might later be consumed.

Candle Safety Labels Have Industry Standards
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*
Cautionary Labeling Standard
Reference #: ASTM F-2058
Effective Since: 2000 Revised October 2007“Safety” labels have exact rules as to what is to be said, where the label is to be placed and the typesize (which varies according to the size of the labeling panel).
This standard sets forth specifications for the warning label that cautions consumers to always burn a candle within sight; to keep candles away from things that can catch fire; and to keep candles out of the reach of children.
Heat Strength of Glass Containers Standard
Reference #: ASTM F-2179
Effective Since: 2002This safety standard sets specific scratch test and temper specifications for the correct annealing of glass containers used for candles in addition to thermal shock differential requirements.
Reference title: Standard Specification for Annealed Soda-Lime-Silicate Glass Containers that are Produced for Use as Candle Containers
Candle Accessories Standard
Reference #: ASTM F-2601
Effective Since: May 2007Specifications are established in this standard for labeling and testing candle accessories for fire-safety manufacture. (Including potpourri burners, candle burners and candle rings. ) It is anticipated by 2008 the standard will be enlarged to include candle holders and other accessories.
Reference title: Standard Specification for the Fire Safety for Candle Accessories
*Please be advised these are only descriptions of the standards to give a basic idea of the material covered. They are not the actual specifications. The actual ASTM standards are copyrighted by ASTM International. As of the date of this article copies of the actual standards may be purchased for download at www.ASTM.org. The charge to purchase each standard is roughly $39 each.

Teacup Scented Soy Wax Candles
Soy Wax Candles In Teacups Another Great Soy Candle Gift Idea
Gift idea soy candle in a teacup
Make A Soy Teacup Candle
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.
