Make Your Own Soy Candles

Making your own candles is a rewarding and satisfying experience. Not only do you get to create something beautiful, but you can also customize your candles to your specific preferences. If you’re new to candle making, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Fortunately, Life at Cobble Hill Farm has an excellent tutorial on making your own soy candles from scratch.

The tutorial takes you through the entire process, from selecting the right type of wax to adding the finishing touches. One of the benefits of making soy candles is that soy wax is a natural and eco-friendly alternative to paraffin wax. It’s also easy to work with and has a long burn time.

The tutorial offers many tips and tricks, including the importance of measuring your ingredients accurately and using the right type of wick for your candle. The wick is especially important, as it can affect the way your candle burns. The tutorial also offers advice on selecting the right fragrance oils for your candles, as well as how to properly melt and pour the wax.

One thing that sets this tutorial apart is its attention to detail. The author explains not only how to make the candles, but also how to troubleshoot common problems that may arise, such as frosting or tunneling. This makes the tutorial a valuable resource for both beginners and more experienced candle makers.

Life at Cobble Hill Farm walks you through the process of making your own soy candles from scratch, with a lot of great tips and details.

Planning a wedding and inviting little ones? Oh, friend… I’ve been there. Between heartfelt speeches, late-night dinners, and sugar-fuelled dance floors, keeping kids entertained (and not tugging at tablecloths or sliding under chairs) is no small feat.
