Making soy candles is a great hobby. To make your own soy candles you will need to assemble the right supplies. Soy candle kits can be assembled from several sources or you can buy a soy candle kit that's has all the ingredients supplied for you. Here is a list of ingredients that any good soy candle maker should have: soy wax and fragrances, essential oils, wicks, additives, dyes, containers and molds.

The soy wax and fragrance is the body of the soy candle kit. The oils are the soul of the candle that entices your sense of smell. Lemon grass, orange, vanilla and peppermint are just a few scent ideas for your soy candle supply kit when you're putting it together. The wick is also a very important part of the soy candle. The wick decides the burn rate of your candle so confer with store associates to ensure you find the proper wick for your chosen candle type.

There are a number of additive and dyes you can add to you kit depending on the type of candle making you desire. Vybar is a great choice when considering additives for candle making. Vybar has a higher melting point than soy wax; it also increases the density of the soy. Really makes it burn longer.

The best dye to have in your kit is liquid dye. Liquid dye comes in a variety of colors and variations with in the color pallet. Unlike block dyes or dye chips, using liquid dyes insure a more even colored candle.

When choosing a container or mold one has to take a step back. If you're just starting candle making chose one or two molds to start with. This is good advice for someone who is new to candle making due to the fact you're just now starting you may find that candle making isn't for you. On the other hand if you decide you love soy candle making you can always purchase more molds and containers at a later date. So start small if you want on collecting your soy candle making supplies.

Making soy candles is a great hobby. To make your own soy candles you will need these basic materials. Assemble the best ingredients possible for your soy making candle kit. After all the finish product is only as good as the ingredients used to make it. After it is done you and your friends will enjoy the clean , long burning soy candles you make. Good luck and enjoy making your beautiful candles.
