Making Wick With Old Candle
Wax
If you’re like me, you probably have a ton of old candles lying around, just waiting to be turned into wicks. Not only is this a great way to recycle, but it’s also a great way to save money on wicks.
To make a wick from an old candle, all you need is a pair of scissors and a heat source. First, cut the candle into small pieces. You want the pieces to be small enough to fit into your heat source, but large enough that they won’t catch on fire.
Next, place the candle pieces into your heat source. I like to use a candle warmer, but you can also use a stove top or a microwave. Be sure to keep a close eye on the wax, and remove it from the heat source as soon as it’s melted.
Once the wax has melted, use a pair of scissors to cut the wick to the desired length. Be sure to leave a few inches of extra wick, so that you can attach it to a candle holder.
Finally, use a lighter to singe the end of the wick. This will help it to stay lit.
And that’s it! You’ve now made a wick from an old candle.

Making Triple Scented Soy Candles
Candles are one of the most popular forms of home fragrance. They are relatively inexpensive, come in a variety of scents, and can be used to create a relaxing or festive atmosphere. However, many store-bought candles are made with paraffin wax, which can release toxins when burned. Soy wax is a healthier, more environmentally friendly alternative. It is made from soybeans, which are a renewable resource, and it is biodegradable.
If you are interested in making your own soy candles, you will need some basic supplies. These include soy wax, fragrance oil, a heat source, a candle pouring pot, a thermometer, and a wax cutter or knife. You can find all of these supplies at your local craft store.
The first step is to measure out the soy wax. You will need enough wax to fill your candle pouring pot. Add the wax to the pot and place it on your heat source. Heat the wax until it is melted.
Next, add the fragrance oil to the melted wax. Use a ratio of 1 ounce of fragrance oil to every 1 pound of soy wax. Stir the wax until the fragrance is evenly distributed.
The next step is to pour the wax into your candle containers. You will need to use a thermometer to make sure the wax is the right temperature. It should be around 120 degrees F. Pour the wax into the containers and allow them to cool.
Once the wax has cooled, you can trim the wick to 1/4 inch in length. Enjoy your new soy candles!

How Soon Can You Burn A Candle After Making It
?
Candlemaking is a fun and easy craft that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It can also be a great way to relax and unwind after a long day. However, before you can start burning your candles, you need to make sure that they are properly cured.
Curing a candle is the process of allowing it to dry out completely. This will help to prevent the formation of soot and ensure that the candle burns cleanly. It can also help to extend the life of the candle.
The curing process can take anywhere from two to four weeks, depending on the type of candle and the weather conditions. It is important to keep the candle in a cool, dry place during this time.
Once the candle is properly cured, you can start burning it. However, you should always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper use.
