Candle Making

Busy day today. Trying out some new fragrances for the candles. So far the 'Wedding Cake' and the 'Antique Lace' seem okay, but of course it is hard to tell until they are actually lit. I use soy wax and ideally they should be left for a minimum of at least a week before the test burn. Soy wax is cleaner and more eco friendly, however the scent throw can be harder to achieve.

This excerpt from a little childcare book made me chuckle. I think the book is dated somewhere around the 1930's.

Soy Candles

Four months of trial and error...at last they are in full production. I thought candle making would be easy, oh how wrong was I.

First you need the right wax that goes with the right wick that will work well with the right fragrance that will will heat to the right temperature and pour at the right time and then wait days till they cure...phew, but I think they are worth it!
