Master the Art of Soy Wax Candle Making

Gather Your Materials

Before you start, make sure you have all your materials ready. You'll need soy wax, a double boiler, a thermometer, candle wicks, fragrance oil (optional), and a container for your candle.

Melt the Soy Wax

Place the soy wax in the double boiler and heat it over medium heat. Use the thermometer to monitor the temperature. The wax should be fully melted at around 185°F (85°C).

Add Fragrance Oil

Once the wax is fully melted, remove it from the heat. If you want to add fragrance to your candle, now is the time. Stir in your chosen fragrance oil.

Prepare the Wick

While the wax is cooling, prepare your wick. Place the wick in the center of your chosen container. You can use a wick holder or a pencil to keep it centered.

Pour the Wax

Once the wax has cooled to around 135°F (57°C), it's time to pour it into your container. Pour slowly and carefully to avoid any spills or air bubbles.

Let it Set

After pouring the wax, let your candle set for at least 24 hours. Once it's fully hardened, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch and your soy wax candle is ready to be lit!

Step 2: Melt the Soy Wax

Once you have all your materials ready, it's time to melt the soy wax. Place the soy wax in a double boiler and heat it over medium heat. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature, and once the wax reaches around 185°F (85°C), it should be fully melted and ready for the next step.

Step 3: Add Fragrance Oil

If you want to add a delightful fragrance to your candle, now is the time to do it. Remove the melted wax from the heat and stir in your chosen fragrance oil. This step allows you to personalize your candle and create a scent that suits your preferences.

Step 4: Prepare the Wick

While the wax is cooling, take a moment to prepare your wick. Place the wick in the center of your chosen container, ensuring it stays upright. You can use a wick holder or a pencil to keep it centered. This step is crucial for a well-balanced and evenly burning candle.

Step 5: Pour the Wax

Once the wax has cooled to around 135°F (57°C), it's time to pour it into your container. Pour slowly and carefully to avoid any spills or air bubbles. This step requires patience and precision to achieve a smooth and professional-looking candle.

Step 6: Let it Set

After pouring the wax, allow your candle to set for at least 24 hours. This waiting period is essential for the wax to fully harden and ensure a longer burning time. Once your candle is fully set, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch, and your soy wax candle is ready to be lit and enjoyed.
