Making Candles With Soy And Beeswax
Candles have been around for centuries and come in all shapes and sizes. They are made of different materials, such as paraffin, soy, beeswax, and gel. Each material has its own unique benefits and drawbacks.
Paraffin candles are the most common type. They are made of petroleum jelly and are inexpensive and easy to make. However, they produce a lot of black soot, which is bad for your lungs, and they are not very environmentally friendly.
Soy candles are made of soybean oil. They are non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and last longer than paraffin candles. However, they are more expensive to make and often produce less fragrance than paraffin candles.
Beeswax candles are made of beeswax, which is a natural material. They are non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and produce a lot of fragrance. However, they are more expensive to make than soy candles and often do not last as long.
Gel candles are made of gel, which is a non-toxic, environmentally friendly material. They last a long time and produce a lot of fragrance. However, they are more expensive to make than soy or beeswax candles.

Candles are made of wax and a wick. The heat from the burning wick melts the wax in the candle, and the wax is drawn up the wick. The flame from the candle melts more wax from the candle, which is drawn up the wick, and the flame from the candle melts even more wax, and so on.
There are three main types of wax used in candles: paraffin wax, beeswax, and soy wax.
Paraffin wax is a petroleum-based wax that is the most common type of wax used in candles. It is inexpensive and easy to work with, and it has a high melting point, so it burns cleanly. However, it is not very environmentally friendly, because it is made from petroleum.
Beeswax is made from the honeycomb of bees, and it is the oldest type of wax used in candles. It is a natural product, and it burns cleanly and has a pleasant scent. However, it is expensive and can be difficult to work with.
Soy wax is made from soybeans, and it is the most environmentally friendly type of wax used in candles. It is renewable, biodegradable, and non-toxic. It also has a lower melting point than paraffin wax, so it burns more cleanly. However, soy wax is more expensive than paraffin wax, and it can be more difficult to work with.

To make a soy wax candle, you’ll first need to melt the wax. You can do this using a microwave or a stovetop, but be sure to use a pouring pot and a thermometer to ensure that the wax is melted at the correct temperature.
Once the wax is melted, add the desired amount of fragrance oil and mix well. Next, cut the wick to the desired length and thread it through the wick holder. Finally, pour the wax into a prepared container and allow it to cool.

Making Candles With Shells
Candles are a great way to get ambient light in a room. They come in all shapes and sizes, and can be made from a variety of materials. One of the most interesting materials to make candles from is shells.
Shell candles are a great way to recycle old shells. They can also be a fun project to do with your kids. All you need to make a shell candle is a few old shells, some wax, a wick, and a candle holder.
The first step is to gather your supplies. You will need a few old shells, some wax, a wick, and a candle holder. The wax can be either melted down candles or crayons.
The next step is to melt the wax. You can do this either over a stove or in the microwave. Once the wax is melted, dip the wick in to the wax.
Then, put the wick in to the shell. Make sure the wick is in the center of the shell.
Next, pour the wax in to the shell. You may need to help the wick stay in the center of the shell while you are pouring the wax.
Once the wax has hardened, you can light your candle!
