Just keep in mind that once you've used something for candle making, it's no longer suitable for food preparation.
As a general rule, you'll want to use no more than 1/8 oz. undiluted candle scent for every 1 lb. wax.
After the wax has partially hardened and formed a skin, add wicks to candle molds.
This is normal and will not influence how your candle burns.
However, if you wish, you may reheat your leftover wax and fill in the pit to create a floating candle with a smooth top.
Generally, it is recommended to trim the wick between ¼ and ½ inch above the base of the candle.
If a candle doesn't come out of the mold easily, try placing it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
Don't try to scrape the candle out of the mold with a knife, since you'll leave unsightly impressions in the wax.
A single candle can be floated in a small votive holder for a fresh and contemporary look.

Several factors must be considered when choosing among equally attractive candle centerpiece ideas.
Do not place tall candle centerpieces near flammable material, including other centerpieces or draperies.

Making taper candles is somewhat intimidating, but they're not actually any more difficult than any other kind of candle you make yourself.
First, you can take sheets of beeswax and wrap them around a piece of wick, making a taper-style candle.
You can also sometimes purchase plastic molds that are shaped like taper candles, which allow you to make a taper candle in much the same way you would make any other candle in a mold.
Finally, the project most people probably think of when they think of making taper candles is the process of dipping a piece of wick into a coffee can or specially designed taper candle making melt pot.
The more you dip the wick into the pot, the thicker your candle will be.
If you've never made a taper candle before, you might want to start by making a beeswax taper.
Start with a length of wick a couple of inches longer than you want your finished candle to be.
Start at the wide end and your candle will automatically taper at the top.
Sometimes you can find taper candle molds made either of plastic or metal at your local craft store.
You can also find them online at shops like Candle Chem and Candlewic.
Using these molds is the same as any other kind of candle mold, with the exception that the plastic molds might need to be held upright.
Follow the regular procedure you would use to make any other kind of candle, being careful not to overfill the mold.
Be careful when removing the candle from the mold, allowing it to cool completely before doing so.
The final way of making taper candles involves dunking the wick in the melted wax as many times as necessary to get the candle the size and shape that you want.
To make the candle, simply dip your length of wick into the wax, then lift up again.
You will also use the stick to hang the candle from as it dries.
Use a cardboard box that's deep enough to hold the candle without having it touch the bottom, or any other box you have on hand.
Scented candle gift sets are a popular token of love, thanks, or appreciation.
With many sets and gift arrangements to choose from, there is an aromatic candle gift perfect to light up anyone's day.
Many aromatherapy scented candle gift sets also include specialized blends of popular scents to promote wellness, relaxation, energy, peace, or other desired moods.
More elaborate themed gift sets can often be found from specialty candle stores and gift boutiques.
Candle sizes and quantities, the types of candles (handmade, soy, etc.), the quality of the scent, and extra gift items all impact the price.
Generic accessories such as a silk flower, matches, or candle holders are also excellent choices.
Candle gift baskets are not suitable for a high school graduation, for example, since many soon-to-be college students will not be able to light candles in dormitories or other campus housing units.
Candles are also inappropriate to give to young children or individuals with allergies to heavy scents or candle fumes.
Whether to create a special romantic ambiance within a room or simply to add some extra candle lit sparkle, heart votive candle holders can make a wonderful alternative to more basic styles.
Votive candles are one of the most common type of candle available.
Taking a simple votive candle and placing it into a heart votive candle holder can transform the basic candle into something truly special.
When we think of heart candle holders, thoughts immediately turn to Valentine's Day or other romantic occasions.
While heart shaped candle holders do add an extra touch of romance to these special days, they have so many other uses too.
A simple votive candle in a heart candle holder is a lovely way to remind someone close to your heart that you are thinking of them.
This might be a loved one or friend and every time they light the candle their thoughts will be with you.
A heart decorated or shaped candle holder will reflect this theme and give a cohesive design point to a room.
A party, whether inside or out, can be given a lovely finishing touch with some heart decorated or heart shaped candle holders.
An outdoor party can look great with heart shaped hanging candle holders decorating trees.
There are many different types of votive candle holders.
Large candle stores often offer an excellent range of candle holders to buy and Yankee Candle Outlet Stores are a good place to start.
When buying candle holders online, it is worth remembering to add on any delivery costs before making a purchase as this can result in the candle holders being more expensive than you planned.

Flameless candles mimic the flickering glow of a traditional candle, but without the open flame.
While many of these candles can provide the appearance of flames without real fire, Glade flameless candles also offer a gentle burst of aroma for a luxurious scented candle option.
While the Wisp is easy to use and safe for many situations, the fragranced oils can be toxic if the candle is broken and the oil spills.
To minimize accidents, the candle should be kept away from children and pets.
Because of this, the candle should not be used in small, enclosed spaces such as closets, vehicles, or pet kennels where the fragrance may become heavily concentrated and overpowering.
Many users object to the strong orange overtones of the light and feel that it does not accurately simulate a candle's peaceful glow.
Glade Wisp flameless candles cost between $5 and $10 for a starter pack that includes the candle base.
The continual release of fragrance from the Glade Wisp makes it a pleasing candle for many locations, and the variety of scents available for this discreet candle make it perfect for any home.
Whereas at one time most candles would be made from beeswax, over recent years other types of waxes and oils have been explored in the quest for creating the perfect candle.

Many smaller and artisan candle makers work with soy candles.

A free gel candle making guide can get you well on your way to enjoying a fun and rewarding craft.
Gel candles, sometimes known as jelly candles or jelly jar candles, are a new type of container candle that's becoming a very popular home décor accent.
Instead of being made from wax, gel candles are made from a colored and scented gel that allows you to embed objects inside the candle.
Any non-flammable object can be used to create a decorative gel candle; this includes polished rocks or pearls as well as sand or glitter.
Wine or martini glasses make fun accents for a party, while a candy dish with a lid is a great container for an everyday gel candle.
If you're on a tight budget, look for affordable containers for candle making at your local dollar or discount store.
You can also try searching at garage sales and thrift shops or asking friends and family to save their unwanted glassware for your candle making projects.
Gel candle making kits are widely available at craft stores such as Hobby Lobby and Michael's Crafts.
If you prefer to pick and choose your supplies, however, you can follow this simple free gel candle making guide for your first project.
Remember that light colored gel will make it easier to see your embedded objects in the finished candle.
Approximately 1/3 teaspoon is usually enough scent for a medium sized gel candle, although this ratio can be adjusted to suit your personal preferences.
Dip your embedded objects into the hot gel, then arrange them along the base of the candle container.
For best results, pour slowly and make sure your candle is sitting on a level surface.
Let your candle cool, then trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch before burning.
Buying discount glass votive candle holders is an ideal way to have wonderful displays of candlelight without breaking the bank.
Votive holders are one of the most versatile types of candle holder.
The votive candle is extremely popular and the distinctive votive shape is shown to its full advantage when placed inside a glass candle holder.
The glass lets the candle light shine while providing protection for the candle.
Votive candle holders are generally formed in simple shapes so as not to detract from the beauty of the lit candle.
While the shapes of the candle holders may be simple, many are decorated with interesting and beautiful designs giving a unique votive candle holder.
This means that suitable votive candle holders can be found for a wide variety of occasions.
A heart candle holder, for instance, would be perfect for a romantic-themed party or special dinner.
Votive glass candle holders are also ideal for use with colored and scented candles.
The color of the candle will shine through the glass candle holder, which means the color of the candle can be changed as required to match the décor of a room or party decorations.
The shape of the votive candle holder also allows the fragrance from a scented candle to be distributed through the room.
There are many reasons why someone would want to buy discount glass votive candle holders.
Glass votive candle holders could be used as a candle centerpiece for a grand dinner party or perhaps hung outside in trees to provide romantic candlelight for a barbecue.
Buying discount candle holders is the ideal way to provide candles for large occasions such as this and still keep within a reasonable budget.
Many wedding parties and dinners are decorated with votive candle holders.

Glass candle globes combine practicality with style.
A globe candle holder is named after its distinctive shape.
This special shape makes the candle holders ideal for outdoor as well as inside decorations.
Globe candle holders are frequently made of glass and these are sturdy and also relatively light weight.
One of the most exciting features of glass candle holders is the fact that they can be created in with different colored glasses.
The light from the candle flame shines through the colored glass and this gives an inner luminosity to the globe.
When buying glass candle globes, there are a few simple tips you should keep in mind.
When buying candle globes, it is useful to decide whether they are to be used for outdoor or indoor use.
Some of the more delicate designs may be better suited to indoor use, while more robust globes may make great outdoor candle lanterns.
If candle holders are to be hung, a chain or other material needs to be purchased.
If the candle globe is to sit on the table, it is important to check that it has a flat base so it will not roll.
The type of glass candle globe will depend on the size of candle that it is to hold.
Tiny tea lights, for instance, will get lost in a large candle globe and their small flame will not be strong enough to give an effective light.
This avoids the candle getting too close to the globe, which may result in the globe getting smoky or even overheating and cracking.
Decorated globe candle holders look lovely and are perfect for a wide variety of occasions.
It is also simple to decorate plain candle globes with glass beads to make beaded candle holders.
In festive colors, decorated globe candle holders make lovely holiday candle gifts.
Candle globes can be purchased from specialist candle stores online.
This can often be a great way to pick from a wide variety of styles and purchase candle globes at competitive prices.
Aromatherapy candle making is a fun and rewarding hobby for anyone who is interested in creating beautiful yet functional homemade candles.
While aromatherapy is very popular in candle making, the practice can also be used to create scented soaps, body lotions, or other personal care products.
Making aromatherapy candles requires many of the same supplies used in other types of candle making projects.
Every candle maker needs to have a few basic tools at his/her disposal.
The key difference between aromatherapy candle making and other types of scented candle making involves the type of fragrance used.
While many candle makers choose to use fragrance oils to create their candles, true aromatherapy products are made with pure essential oils.
When working with scented used in aromatherapy candle making, it's important to buy the highest quality fragrances you can afford.
While you can always add more scent to your candle, it's difficult to correct a fragrance that is too strong.
It's fine to copy your aromatherapy blends from a book or website if you're new to candle making.
However, once you gain more experience in aromatherapy candle making, you may choose to create your own unique formulas.
While many homemade candles are created with paraffin wax, most people who practice aromatherapy candle making use soy wax for their projects.
Many candle makers also feel soy wax is easier to work with than paraffin wax.
Do you want to create a candle to help you relax or one that relieves stress?
Having a goal for your project makes it easier to choose the correct essential oils and create a candle that fits your needs.
There are many different kinds of candles that can be made at home, but candle making instructions are basically the same no matter what you are making.
Before you get started, you need to collect your candle making supplies.
Included in this list is candle fragrance, which must be chosen carefully.
Always make sure that the fragrance you choose is safe for candle making.
You can spray the mold with mold release spray to ensure that the finished candle will slide out cleanly.
These are just wicks with metal tabs attached, and they can be purchased anywhere candle making supplies are sold.
The type of wick you use will be dictated by the size of the candle you are making.
Now you're ready to actually begin work on the candle itself.
Prepare the candle mold as described above.
As you get more experienced with candle making, knowing the right amount of wax you need becomes second nature.
Too much stirring incorporates air bubbles, which will mar the sides of the finished candle.
When the wax is melted, add a few drops of candle dye and stir gently.
Allow the candle to cool for several hours.
Allow your candle to cool overnight before trying to remove it from the mold.
Take the mold sealer off the bottom and side of the mold, and your candle should slide right out when the mold is inverted.
At this point you can buff the candle with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints, or shine it up with a commercial candle shine product, though these steps are not necessary.
Trim the bottom wick so it's level with the bottom of the candle (though with tabbed wicks, you can skip this step).
Your new, handmade candle is now ready to use.
The best way to learn more about candle making is to jump right in and try it.
This creativity is the real draw for candle makers, who enjoy making unique products to display, give as gifts, or even turn into a business.
There is no single candle making recipe that will get you through all potential candle making situations.
I don't even like the idea of a candle making recipe, because that implies that it is rigid and scientific, involving formulas more than fun.
While there are some pointers that can be helpful when starting out making your own candles, much of learning about candle making must be done through experimentation.
These are the places you can really mess up your candle if you don't follow a formula.
Adding too much dye or oil will keep your candle from burning well.
Of course, a candle with too much fragrance will also have a stronger smell than you probably would like.
If you're wanting strongly scented candles, the maximum I would put into a batch of wax is one ounce liquid fragrance oil to one pound of candle wax.
The two basic additives that beginning candle makers are likely to run into are stearic acid and vybar.
Vybar is another hardener that is often less expensive than stearic powder but might also be more difficult to find unless you have a local candle making shop.
Some vybar products also help make your candle more opaque.
Another really fun additive is parol oil, which is used to give the surface of your candle a mottled appearance, like snowflakes or starbursts.
The almost-worst thing that can happen is you'll make an ugly or unusable candle that you'll have to melt and start over.
For some reason, candle and soap making have often been lumped together in stores and in the consciousness of crafters.
Candle and soap making both involve melting (or at least heating) something and putting it in a mold to make a new product.
In candle making, the thing that is melted is wax, whether paraffin wax, soy wax, beeswax or some other kind of wax.
Candles can also be made by rolling beeswax sheets or using gel wax, which is not melted, but all traditional candle making involves melting something.
As mentioned earlier, both candle and soap making involve using molds to make the finished item.
A great household item that can be used as a candle mold is an empty soda can or aluminum can.
Candle and soap making are also similar in that you can add color, fragrance and other items to both soap and candles to make a more interesting final product.
An easy way to jazz up either a candle or a homemade soap is by using chunks of wax or soap that are a different color from your main soap or candle base.
I consider soap making to be more firmly rooted in formulas than candle making.
The truth is that for most hobbyist candle makers, all of this science doesn't matter than much.
As long as you don't set the wax on fire and limit your additives and fragrance to reasonable levels, your candle will come out fine.
