Make Homemade Candle Molds For Soy Wax
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.

Scented Soy Candles Articles Ezine Article Information
Hi everyone,
Well I am slowly being able to publish more articles. However, the recent ones have been posted at EzineArticles. So to make sure you are able to see them, I added a new web page under my Articles Tab with a second RSS feed pulling in all of the articles. Here is the link to Scented Soy Candles EzineArticles Page for your convenience.
The latest articles I was able to write about include the healing powers of aromatherapy, and another on why organic soy candle wax is ideal for making aromatherapy candles. For anyone who is interested in making their own soy wax massage candles, I think you should read the article about organic soy candle wax. In my opinion, you will be wanting to make them as pure as possible, since you will be using the warm soy candle wax on naked skin. Also, certain essential oils are really strong, so you need to develop your knowledge about using them especially when you are making aromatherapy scented soy candles, or when you are making soy wax massage candles.
Thanks again for all of your positive comments, and support!

Not all candle scents are created equal?

When you are looking to buy your candle scents, and you are interested in having a scented soy candle that will have a long lasting fragrance it’s important to know - not all candle scents have been created equal.
Not to bash any candle fragrance sellers, but buyers do your homework. Beware the seller who is buying top quality fragrances and cutting them. Don’t hesitate to ask what % is fragrance. What are they cutting them with? In fact, I want to know, why are they cutting their fragrance scents down in the first place.

Should You Use Electric Candle Warmers With Your Soy Candle Melts, Or Traditional Candle Power?
One of the ladies who purchased my soy candle books, recently emailed me – she had followed my instructions on making soy candle melts, and really loved them, but she had a question…. ” I have made some really wonderful soy candle melts, what is the best way to burn them? Should I use an electric candle wax melter or a candle warmer?”

Question Asked: What additive will make candle wax last longer?
Can An Additive Make Soy Wax Last Longer?
Help! Is there anything natural, or any type of additive that can be mixed into candle wax to make it last longer? What about a soy blend wax, or palm wax? I do not want to buy a lot of candle wax, because it is so expensive. Will adding fabric softener, lotions, or shampoo increase the volume of the candle wax, and still burn?
Comments will be welcome, but I felt I should make a blog post in response to Shirley’s question posted under the blog comments instead of responding to her via email.
Candle safety is a primary consideration.
Personally, I would not consider it safe to add any additive to a candle wax product you intend to burn, unless it is approved by the National Candle Association. Read the rest of this entry »

Can You Make Triple Scented Soy Candles?
What are Triple Scented Soy Candles
Time and time again on the Internet, I have seen advertisements for soy candles being sold that are touted as Triple Scented Soy Candles.
The presumption with “Triple Scented” candles is the scent load held will be three times greater than the fragrance held by a normal candle. Unfortunately this isn’t always true. A good quality, highly scented soy candle will have a potent scent that will be long lasting, and rapidly fill the air with scent inside your home. Read the rest of this entry »
My soy candle wick is burning itself out
Soy Candle Wicks Burning Out Problem
Reply to: My soy candle wick is burning itself out, how do I fix the problem?
I would suggest that you check the length of your candlewick. Is it to short? If you are trimming the wick shorter than 1/4 inch, the flame can be extinguished by the melting soy wax as it pools around the candle. Also, if your candle wick is to small, it will not consume the soy candle wax. Soy candle wax is a fuel for the wick to burn, and it will drown from lack of combustion.
Scenting Soy Candle Wax Crusting Problem
Soy Wax Candles Problems With Fragrances
Recently when I poured my soy wax candles they crusted on the tops. The color in my candle looks like it is bleeding? What did I do wrong to cause this?
Unfortunately, soy has many positive qualities, but one of the fact about the use of Soy Wax, it is not as efficient at holding large quantities of fragrance. Most of the time when this happens, the fragrance used is in a greater quanity than the soy wax is capable of holding. What you see then, is the fragrance oil seeping out, and pulling color with it.
