I’ve always love having candles around, especially in the winter time. Candles add a nice ambiance to a room. The sight of a candle flickering makes me feel comfortable and at ease.
Over the past years, I’ve been spending lots of money on soy and palm candles. Most of the time I become disappointed with the scent. So I decided it’s time to make my own soy candles.
Mine are very lightly scented or unscented. This one I scented with blackberry fragrance oil. I also use a lead free cotton wick.
Although I would love to use beeswax candles, they are just too expensive. In our family, beeswax are usually used for religious or special occasions. But hand rolled beeswax candles can be used anytime and they are lots of fun to make and use. They are also very clean burning.
Below are some benefits to burning soy candles:
* Soy wax is very clean burning and produce less soot then paraffin wax.
* It also burns longer then paraffin wax.
* Soy is vegetable based and biodegradable.
* Non-toxic, safe to have around for children and pets.
* In case of spills or to reuse containers, simply clean with soap and water.
