Non Fragranced Pillar
Candles
Non fragranced pillar candles. These
might sound totally unattractive to most of us, but when
you have allergies, and cannot tolerate perfumes and
scents, but you enjoy watching a flickering candle, and
enjoy feeling the warmth they provide to the appearance
of a room, non fragrant candles are a must. I don't
know about you, but I find going into some stores very
difficult because their fragrances are so overpowering,
and it is the same with some candles. Non fragranced
pillar candles are a perfect
solution.
HOW TO MAKE THEM AND WHERE TO BUY THEM.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW IS
ONLINE

Whether you are interested in
purchasing natural soy candles online or whether you want to
learn how to make your very own, the web is the place to
start.
Great deals can be found on soy
candles just by executing a quick web search using keywords
such as "wholesale soy candle". This search will bring up many
sites that sell all sorts of soy candles and fragrances ranging
from patchouli and lavender to lotus blossom and Mediterranean
fig!
Soy candles are great purchase to
make as they are made from 100% vegetable by-product, they are
non-toxic, they burn cleanly, with barely any soot and are easy
on people with difficulty breathing and ideal for those who get
headaches from candles made with paraffin wax, a petroleum
by-product. Natural soy candles burn much slower and last for
about 30 to 50% longer than your average paraffin candle. Soy
comes from the soy bean, nowadays produced in renewable
quantities by American Farmers.
Soy candles are the easiest
candles to make. All you need is soy wax, a jar, fragranced
oil, dye and a wick. All of these soy candle supplies are
available easily and cheaply online. Start with a web search
for "How to make soy candles" and from there everything from
instructions to supplies are at your fingertips.
The
great advantage of making your own candles is
that you can control what goes into them. if
you want them blue you can make them blue. If
you want them fragrance free, then you can
make them that way too. And once you have the
supplies, they are easy to make and you can
use your creativity to decorate them, or the
holder as you
wish. ~

Soy candles are easier to make
than paraffin candles and the wax itself is actually easier to
clean up. For beginners it is a good idea to purchase a soy
candle making kit. In the candle making kit you'll find all
your need to make natural soy candles. There are kits and
instructions for making votive candles and container or jar
candles. But there are so many types of candles you can make
once you get started. There are scented soy candles, even
triple scented and triple layered candles. Soy candles also
make great aromatherapy candles.
In searching for your candle
making supplies online do note that buying the right fragrance
or mix of fragrances is the most important aspect of candle
making. Double check that the fragrance you want is compatible
with soy wax. As for the dye, dyes that come in wax forms are
best because they can be melted with the soy wax. For container
candles, make sure you start a collection of jars. Jars make
for the best soy container candles.
The process is simple. You melt
the soy wax, add dye and fragrance and pour into the container
of your choice. The hardest bit involves placing the wick in
the center and keep it there while the wax hardens, but when it
does, you simply trim the wick and light your
candle!
