soy candles

I love candles. I won’t buy the cheap ones in stores like Target anymore because they don’t seem to burn well. I end up with not much scent, a lot of soot and smoke, and a lot of wax leftover in the candle holder. I tried to just buy “high end” candles for a while, but that gets a little spendy. I don’t know about you, but I can’t throw down $10 for a few small candles. I tried doing the home party candles, and they’re great, but super over priced. Next I came across soy candles. I didn’t even realize you could use soy beans to make candles - shows what I know! But it turns out that soy candles are the next big thing. Soy is bio-degradable and a reusable energy source, and the candles created from soy beans feature fragrances based in all natural vegetable oil, instead of the traditional liquid petroleum based fragrance. Because of how soy candles are made, they can last 3 times longer than traditional candles, as well as provide a long lasting scent without black soot or smoke.

You can purchase soy candles online at Caterpillars Candles - they’re featuring a product called the Roly Poly, which is a soy candle in the scent AND color of your choice in a roly poly glass jar. That’s right - no longer do you have to buy red candles just because they’re strawberry scented. You’re not stuck with a yellow candle that matches your kitchen and smells like a lemon…mix and match and create the color and scent scheme you want!

   My wife loves candles! I had no idea you could make them from soy. Could you point me to any information on how to make them? She loves ‘crafty’ things and I think it would make a good project for her. Thanks!
