What type of candles would you like to make?

Container candles. Candles that are made by pouring wax into a container that it will remain in while it is being burned (ie jar candles). Waxes meant for container candles are generally softer with a lower melting point.

Free-standing candles. A candle that will be made by pouring wax into a mould and then removed for burning (ie pillar candles). Waxes meant for free-standing candles are harder waxes with higher melting points.

What type of wax would you like to use for your container candle?

Soy wax. A vegetable wax that is made from the oil of soybeans. It is all natural, renewable and sustainable making it a very popular wax to use.
