How to Make Soy Candle Hints

Candle making is an extremely popular pastime in America and abroad.  Recent statistics have shown that the industry, as a whole, is currently undergoing a significant growth phase.  Overall sales of candles and candle-related supplies are well over 3 billion dollars per year right now.  Who would have thought that our beloved hobby would ever spawn such a profitable industry?

While some companies are moving fast to capitalize on the growth of the industry many of us are content to continue doing what we love, which is simply making candles!  With this article, I intend to give you the basics on how to make soy candle hints.  It will, however, require some patience on your part.  This is an extremely delicate process, and it will likely take a few tries before you perfect it.  So here goes…

The first thing you will have to do is stock up on supplies.  You will need both large and small pour pitchers, some wax paper, and a quality thermometer that can withstand high temperatures.  Hint: we have had great success with a candy thermometer.  You will also need a good quality soy wax.

Most supply stores offer it in block or flake form.  In my experience, the flake form is best because it tends to melt down more consistently.  You are also going to want to be sure that you have a supply of wicks, and some dependable glass containers to use as molds.

Learn How To Make Candles At Home

If your home is anything like mine, you're constantly picking crayons up off the floor. My little boy colors daily, often for hours at a time. He adores coloring. We're always buying more crayons because he either loses them or they've been worn down to nubbins and hard to color with. Well, here's a tip for you on what you can do with the worn out crayons rather than throwing them away. You can actually recycle the broken crayons and make them into candles. You can teach your children how they can create something new and useful from something old. You'll want to burn these darling homemade candles yourself and give them as gifts as well.
This craft project is a wonderful teaching moment with your children. Before you begin to make candles at home, talk to your kids about safety. They'll need to know that the crayons will have to be melted using a very high heat, and they cannot do that part of the candle making process. Tell them they will have other fun steps in making crayon candles.
Get your supplies together. You'll need about six broken crayons, an empty pint size milk carton, a pound of paraffin wax, two complete trays of ice, a double boiler and about six inches of white twine. 
Step one is to cut off the top of the milk carton and leave about six inches of carton to work with. Melt the paraffin wax in the double boiler or coffee can. To help it melt faster, cut it into small chunks. Generally, you will need to wait around twenty minutes for everything to melt.
