When giving an informative speech, it is important to use visual aids to help illustrate your points. For my speech on candle making, I created a PowerPoint presentation that showed different steps in the candle making process, as well as different types of candles. I also used a candle that I had made myself as an example.
The first step in making a candle is to create a wax mold. I used a Mason jar as my mold, but you can use any container that is heat-resistant. You can either use a stovetop or a microwave to melt the wax. I used a microwave, and it took about two minutes to melt the wax.
Once the wax is melted, you can add your fragrance and color. I used a combination of vanilla and cinnamon, and I also added a bit of red food coloring to make the candle look festive.
Next, you need to pour the wax into the mold. I used a spoon to pour the wax, but you could also use a funnel. Make sure that the mold is completely filled, and then use a knife to score the top of the wax. This will help the candle release from the mold later on.
Now, it’s time to let the candle cool. I left mine on the counter for about an hour, but you could also place it in the fridge if you want it to cool faster.
Once the candle has cooled, you can remove it from the mold. To do this, I gently pushed on the bottom of the Mason jar until the candle popped out.
You can then use a lighter to trim the wick. I cut mine to about 1/4 inch, but you can make it shorter or longer depending on your preferences.
Finally, you can light your candle and enjoy!

Candle Making Pleasanton
Candle making is a fun, creative, and rewarding activity. It is also a great way to use up old candles or to recycle wax.
The first step in candle making is to gather your supplies. You will need wax, wicks, a double boiler or a pot and a bowl that will fit inside the pot, and scent (optional).
The type of wax you use is important. Soy wax is a good choice because it is biodegradable and burns cleanly. Paraffin wax is also a good choice, but it is not biodegradable.
The wicks you use are also important. You want to use wicks that are made for candles. They come in different sizes, so be sure to choose the right size wick for your candle.
The next step is to melt the wax. You can do this in a double boiler or in a pot and a bowl. If you are using a double boiler, place the wax in the top pot and place the pot on the stove. If you are using a pot and a bowl, place the wax in the bowl and place the bowl in the pot. Fill the pot with water and heat it until the water is boiling. Be sure to keep an eye on the wax so it does not burn.
Once the wax is melted, add the scent (if desired). Stir the wax until the scent is evenly distributed.
The next step is to add the wicks. Place the wicks in the wax and make sure they are straight.
Once the wicks are in place, pour the wax into the containers. Be sure to pour the wax quickly so the wicks do not move.
Let the wax cool and then light the candles. Enjoy!

Important Facts About Candle Making
When it comes to candle making, there are a few things you need to know in order to make the perfect candle. The most important things to remember are:
The wick must be the correct size for the container.
The wick must be centered in the container.
The wick must be trimmed to the correct length.
The flame must be kept away from the container walls.
The container must be heat resistant.
The candle must be allowed to cool completely before being extinguished.
Now that you know the basics, let’s go over some of the more specific things you need to know in order to make a perfect candle.
The Wick
The size of the wick is very important. The wick must be the correct size for the container in order to produce the correct flame size. If the wick is too small for the container, the flame will be too small and the candle will not burn properly. If the wick is too large for the container, the flame will be too large and the candle will not burn properly.
The Wick
In order to ensure that the wick is centered in the container, you can use a wick holder. A wick holder is a small metal or plastic device that holds the wick in the center of the container. If you do not have a wick holder, you can use a pencil to hold the wick in place.
The Wick
The wick must be trimmed to the correct length. The correct length of the wick depends on the size of the container. The wick should be just long enough to reach the bottom of the container. If the wick is too long, the flame will be too large and the candle will not burn properly. If the wick is too short, the flame will be too small and the candle will not burn properly.
The Flame
The flame must be kept away from the container walls. If the flame touches the walls of the container, the wax will start to melt too quickly and the candle will not burn properly.
The Container
The container must be heat resistant. If the container is not heat resistant, the wax will start to melt too quickly and the candle will not burn properly.
The Candle
The candle must be allowed to cool completely before being extinguished. If the candle is not allowed to cool completely, the wax will start to melt too quickly and the candle will not burn properly.
