Additional Recipes for Soy Candle Making
For Expertvillage.com, this is Matt Freedman owner of The Blue Creek Candle Company. In this clip we’ll be talking about today’s candle recipe. To find out more about my candles please visit my website. Now you may have a question as to why I chose golden yellow to make my sunflower color. Keeping in mind that sunflowers are not lemon yellow bright, we want to go with a yellow that’s a little bit darker than that and also it has a brown center in the middle of the sunflower. So what I found is that this particular golden yellow that I have has a very slight tone of brown in it, so I think that it creates the whole overall color effect of a sunflower, incasing the brown and the yellow together. So we’re going to go ahead and pour this now, we’ve got our wick and it’s nice and straight, I’m going to pour it from this way. I’m going to pour kind of slowly, make sure there’s not a lot of air bubbles in there and again we’re using a soy wax and this is a one pour wax. So once we’ve got it poured all we have to do is let it cool and fill this up just a little bit more and there you go. And we’re going to take our wick pin and we’re going to hold our wick up in the middle and let it rest against that wick pin that way it will stay up and we won’t have any problems about keeping that centered. Now all we have to do is let it cool off, the candle will be ready to burn in about two hours. There you have it, a nice quick simple easy recipe. That’s how you make candles.
