• A container. You’ll need a container to store your finished candles in.
Once you have everything you need, it’s time to get started! Here’s a step-by-step guide to making candles:
1. Choose the type of wax you want to use.
2. Measure the correct amount of wax for your mold.

How To Get A Smooth Top On Soy Candles
If you’ve ever tried to make soy candles, you know that getting a smooth top can be a bit tricky. Here are a few tips to help you get a smooth top every time.
1. Use a good quality soy wax.
Some soy waxes are smoother than others, so it’s important to use a good quality wax if you want a smooth top.
2. Melt the wax at the right temperature.
If the wax is too hot, it will be difficult to get a smooth top. Make sure the wax is melted to between 125 and 130 degrees F.
3. Use a good quality wax melter.
If you’re using a melting pot to melt your wax, make sure it’s a good quality pot. A cheap pot may not get the wax hot enough, which will make it difficult to get a smooth top.
4. Use a wick guide.
If you’re using a wick guide, make sure it’s the correct size for your container. A wick guide that’s too small will cause the wax to build up around the edge of the container, and a wick guide that’s too large will cause the wax to drip down the side of the container.
5. Use a wick that’s the correct size for your container.
If you’re using a wick that’s too small, the wax will build up around the edge of the container. If you’re using a wick that’s too large, the wax will drip down the side of the container.
6. Keep the wick centered in the container.
If the wick is off-center, the wax will not melt evenly, which will cause a bumpy top.
7. Don’t over-stir the wax.
Stirring the wax too much will cause it to become frothy, which will also cause a bumpy top.
How To Make Scented Candle Wax
There are many types of scented candle wax on the market, but they are all made with the same ingredients. The type of wax you choose to use is up to you, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind.

The next thing you need to do is choose a scent. There are many different types of scents available, so you can find one that is perfect for you.
The final thing you need to do is choose a color. You can use any color you want, but you need to keep in mind that the color of the wax will affect the color of the candle.
Once you have chosen all of your ingredients, you are ready to start making your candle.
The first thing you need to do is melt the wax. You can do this in a pot on the stove or in a microwave.
Once the wax is melted, add the scent and the color.
Stir the wax until it is well mixed.
Pour the wax into a mold or container.
Let the wax cool and harden.
Once the wax has hardened, you can light your candle and enjoy the scent.
