Soy Wax Candles

Making your own candles is an extremely popular craft and hobby. In the past, candles have always been made with paraffin wax or beeswax. More recently, however, soy wax candles have emerged on the market as well.

Soy candles have advantages over paraffin or beeswax candles. Soy wax is much less expensive than other types of wax so if you want to make candles on a tight budget, this is the way to go. Soy candles can be made with or without wicks, depending on your preference. The ones with wicks are used just as any other candles are used. The ones without wicks work with electric candle warmers. As there is no flame, wickless soy candles are a great choice for any location.

Soy wax has a wonderful, natural scent. Therefore, you do not have to add fragrance to it. Also, soy candles tend to burn longer than other candles, giving you even more value for your money.
