Candles can be very personalized... from the shape, size, color and smell, it's all personal preference. The quickest way to help you identify what you like and what works well for you is to write it down. Tracking your experiments is easy. Just get a notebook and keep a record of the following information: The name of your project (i.e. Raspberry-colored, berry-scented votive candles.)
The manufacturers of the products that you are using including the fragrances, waxes, wicks, wick clips, dyes, and candle molds etc. The quantity of each product used. The exact cooling time. Any imperfections in your candles after the cooling process is over. For example, air bubbles, white lines, cracks, flakes, consistency of coloring, discoloring etc. Take a note of the fragrance of the candle before you light it. Is it attractive, subtle or overwhelming? When burning the candle,Wholesale Handmade spring flower candles is the fragrance just right?
Note down the quality of flame. Is it very big or small? Does it get drowned in the wax or smoke? When you're first learning to make candles, start small. Don't start off melting a huge block of candle making wax to make 40 candles! It's best to make small batches of candles so you can determine what's working and what isn't. This will save you a lot of money as you tweak your technique and/or ingredients to find what you like.
Once you've successfully made several candles for yourself, don't hesitate to branch out and make some as gifts for your friends and family. Nothing says I am thinking of you like a quality personalized candle! Be sure to remember that people don't all have the same likes and dislikes.
Whereas some people might like fruity fragrances and light colors, others may prefer strong fragrances and dark colors! Don't stress about it. Look at it as a great reason to experiment and make a variety of candles. As you begin your candle making journey, remember that it is just that...a journey. Relax and have fun.
