Everything you need to know about how to make your own candles. 🕯
). When you test your finished candle, it will be clear if your choice was too big or too small , and you can adjust from there in your next batch.Place your melting pot, bowl, or saucepan on the scale, zero it, and weigh in the correct amount of soy wax flakes. For every 1 fluid ounce your container or containers hold, you’ll need approximately 1 ounce of soy wax.
When the wax is fully melted, it will look similar to olive oil and will likely be around 180ºF in temperature—but it’s not ready yet! Allow the wax to cool to 140ºF before adding fragrance or pouring the candles.While waiting for the wax to cool, prepare the candle containers. Make sure each container is clean and dry, then place a dab of superglue or hot glue on the metal bottom of a wick and press it to the bottom center of the container.
When the wax has reached the desired temperature, carefully pour it into each candle container, avoiding the tape and wick. Pour slowly to avoid creating air bubbles, which can make the surface of the finished candle look uneven. Let the candles cool at room temperature for at least 24 hours before burning.Cleaning up is easy as long as you get to it while the wax is still liquid.
One tip to be aware of when burning soy candles is to match your burn times to your candle size. Too many short burns in a row can lead to “tunnelling,” in which the wax melts only in the center of the candle rather tha all the way to the edges. The first time you burn a new candle, leave it lit long enough that the entire top of the candle is liquid, and in general avoid burning large candles for brief periods of time too often.
