Candle Making Wax Pot

Candle making wax is a mixture of wax and aromatic oils that are used to make scented candles. There are many different types of wax that can be used for candle making, but the most popular type is soy wax. Soy wax is a natural, renewable resource that is made from soy beans. It is non-toxic and burns clean, making it a popular choice for making scented candles.
The first step in making a scented candle is to choose the wax that you will be using. Soy wax is a good choice for beginner candle makers, because it is easy to work with and is less likely to cause a fire hazard. Once you have chosen the wax, you will need to decide on the scent for your candle. There are many different types of scents that you can choose from, and you can also create your own custom scent.
The next step is to prepare the wax for melting. Soy wax is a solid at room temperature, so it needs to be melted before it can be used in a candle. There are many different ways to melt wax, but the most popular method is to use a double boiler. A double boiler is a pot that has two pots nested inside of each other. The top pot is filled with water, and the bottom pot is filled with the wax. The water in the top pot is heated, which causes the wax in the bottom pot to melt.
Once the wax has melted, you can add the scent. Some scents are pre-mixed with the wax, but most scents are added in liquid form. The best way to add the scent is to use a dropper. You can add as much or as little scent as you like, but it is important to add enough scent to make the candle smell strong.
The next step is to pour the wax into a candle mold. Candle molds come in many different shapes and sizes, so you can choose the one that best fits your needs. Once the wax has been poured into the mold, you will need to wait for it to cool. This can take a few hours, so you will need to be patient.
Once the wax has cooled, you can remove the candle from the mold. If the candle is made from soy wax, it can be burned right away. If the candle is made from another type of wax, it will need to be cured before it can be burned. Curing a candle is the process of letting it sit for a few days so that the scent can develop.
Now that you know how to make a scented candle, you can experiment with different scents and waxes to create your own unique candles.

To make a lavender candle, you will need a jar or container, wax, a wick, and lavender essential oil. The container you use can be anything from a mason jar to a glass votive holder. The size of the container will determine the size of the candle.
