Candle making conventions have been around for centuries, and for good reason. They are a great way to learn about new candle making techniques, meet other candle makers, and buy supplies.
The convention I attended was the National Candle Association’s show in Orlando, Florida. It was a great convention, with lots of vendors, classes, and networking opportunities.
One of the best things about the convention was the classes. I took a class on how to make soy candles, and I learned a lot. I also bought a lot of supplies, including a new candle making pot.
The convention was also a great place to meet other candle makers. I met some people who have been making candles for years, and they were able to share some great tips with me.
Overall, I had a great time at the convention, and I learned a lot about candle making. I would highly recommend attending a convention if you are interested in candle making.
What Do You Melt In Your Warmers When Making Candle
Wax?
In order to make candle wax, you need to start with a base. The most common base for candle wax is paraffin wax. This is a petroleum-based wax that is melted and then poured into a mold.
You can also use soy wax or beeswax as a base for your candles. Soy wax is made from soybeans and is a renewable resource. Beeswax is made from bees and is a natural product.
Once you have your base, you need to add color and scent to your wax. There are a variety of different colors and scents to choose from.
Once your wax is ready, you can pour it into a mold or put it in a warmer to melt. When the wax is melted, you can pour it into a candle container or use a wick to make a candle.

When it comes to soy candle dyeing, there are a few things to consider. The most important of these is the type of dye you use. There are two types of soy candle dyeing: cold and hot. In cold soy candle dyeing, you add the dye to the melted wax and then pour it into the molds. In hot soy candle dyeing, you add the dye to the melted wax and then heat the wax to a temperature high enough to cause the dye to melt.
The type of dye you use will determine the type of soy candle dyeing you do. If you are using powder dyes, you will do cold soy candle dyeing. If you are using liquid dyes, you will do hot soy candle dyeing.
Another thing to consider is the color of the dye. Soy candle dyeing produces a wide range of colors, from pale yellow to deep purple. You can find soy candle dyeing recipes that will produce any color you want. However, it is important to use the right type of dye for the right type of soy candle dyeing.
In general, powder dyes are better for cold soy candle dyeing, while liquid dyes are better for hot soy candle dyeing. This is because powder dyes are less likely to bleed, while liquid dyes are more likely to bleed. If you are using a liquid dye and you want to avoid bleeding, you can add a small amount of alcohol to the wax. This will help to keep the dye in place.
