Fun Making Candles
A friend of mine received a candle for her birthday. I jokingly asked, if it was soy. She said no, but it is so pretty. Well it was, with sequins and painted design , along with lace on top, with ribbons streaming. Wow, and it smelled o.k., if you like strong perfume. Beside the fact that it was a paraffin blend candle, and shockingly expensive, I would much prefer the fresh and clean soy candles I have. I thought the purpose , for the most part, of burning candles, were for the calming, pleasant aroma. I like these clean burning candles so much, I have begun to learn how to make them. My first batch was o.k., since I had my 10 year old granddaughter helping me, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Now, I’m looking forward to making some more. This time, I want to try some decorative tricks.
I have watched a few videos as to some of the things you can do. The videos are available on this page,.
I plan to become more expertise. in order to share with friends and family, and have candle making times with the grandchildren. The trickiest part is placing the wick, so that it will stay on the bottom, and not float. I have ordered my candle making kit, which has everything you need except a ruler, and your candle thermometer. I just use a candy thermometer which works just as well. Another factor, is that you can use old candle containers, and even purchase some candle containers from the craft stores. Be sure to use only containers made for candles♠

I hope you’ll join me in making some candles with our soy candle making kits.. The decorative items are available in craft stores.
If anyone has some ideas, for decorating candle containers, I would love to hear from you. Send pictures if you like. There is some great information out there, as well as tips on making candles, such as how to place the wick, which in my opinion is the trickiest part. Another consideration is choosing the container.
For now, have a great week.. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Let’s have some fun making soy candles, while it’s cold outside, and maybe even snowing. Get your family involved. Kids love to learn new stuff . There is nothing like seeing a child learn a new skill that they can show off.
