Non Fragranced Pillar
Candles
Non fragranced pillar candles. These might sound
totally unattractive to most of us, but when you have
allergies, and cannot tolerate perfumes and scents, but
you enjoy watching a flickering candle, and enjoy feeling
the warmth they provide to the appearance of a room, non
fragrant candles are a must. I don't know about you,
but I find going into some stores very difficult because
their fragrances are so overpowering, and it is the same
with some candles. Non fragranced pillar candles are a
perfect solution.
HOW TO MAKE
THEM AND WHERE TO BUY THEM. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW IS
ONLINE

Whether you are interested in purchasing natural soy candles
online or whether you want to learn how to make your very own,
the web is the place to start.
Great deals can be found on soy candles just by executing a
quick web search using keywords such as "wholesale soy candle".
This search will bring up many sites that sell all sorts of soy
candles and fragrances ranging from patchouli and lavender to
lotus blossom and Mediterranean fig!
Soy candles are great purchase to make as they are made from
100% vegetable by-product, they are non-toxic, they burn
cleanly, with barely any soot and are easy on people with
difficulty breathing and ideal for those who get headaches from
candles made with paraffin wax, a petroleum by-product. Natural
soy candles burn much slower and last for about 30 to 50%
longer than your average paraffin candle. Soy comes from the
soy bean, nowadays produced in renewable quantities by American
Farmers.
Soy candles are the easiest candles to make. All you need is
soy wax, a jar, fragranced oil, dye and a wick. All of these
soy candle supplies are available easily and cheaply online.
Start with a web search for "How to make soy candles" and from
there everything from instructions to supplies are at your
fingertips.
| The great advantage of making
your own candles is that you can control what
goes into them. if you want them blue you can
make them blue. If you want them fragrance
free, then you can make them that way too. And
once you have the supplies, they are easy to
make and you can use your creativity to
decorate them, or the holder as you
wish. ~

Soy candles are easier to make than paraffin candles and the
wax itself is actually easier to clean up. For beginners it is
a good idea to purchase a soy candle making kit. In the candle
making kit you'll find all your need to make natural soy
candles. There are kits and instructions for making votive
candles and container or jar candles. But there are so many
types of candles you can make once you get started. There are
scented soy candles, even triple scented and triple layered
candles. Soy candles also make great aromatherapy candles.
In searching for your candle making supplies online do note
that buying the right fragrance or mix of fragrances is the
most important aspect of candle making. Double check that the
fragrance you want is compatible with soy wax. As for the dye,
dyes that come in wax forms are best because they can be melted
with the soy wax. For container candles, make sure you start a
collection of jars. Jars make for the best soy container
candles.
The process is simple. You melt the soy wax, add dye and
fragrance and pour into the container of your choice. The
hardest bit involves placing the wick in the center and keep it
there while the wax hardens, but when it does, you simply trim
the wick and light your candle!
