Know About Rainbow Candle Making Supplies
The list of components is short since all you need is a good grade of 100 percent soy wax and seven candle dye for rainbow colors. Let's take a closer look at some candle making supplies for rainbow candles.
- 100% Pure Soy Wax Flakes: Soy wax is a renewable natural wax. Since soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin wax, soy candles burn slower or longer than paraffin candles. In addition, it is great for making soot-free candles since it burns clean and produces no soot.
- Candle Dye: When these particles are placed on candles, they reflect light and create a sparkling look. Dyes come in two varieties: liquid and powder. Dyes dissolve in liquids and, because they burn easily, do not clog wicks when added to candle wax. As a result, they usually only have a little effect on the way a colored candle burns.
- Candle Wick: The purpose of a wick is to transport wax to the flame and maintain it is burning. Similar to a gasoline pump, the wick lifts the melted wax up into the flame to burn. When candles are burned, a dark, sooty residue is left behind.
How To Make Rainbow Candles at Home - Step by step
This candle required only a few materials and an easy-to-follow method, making it one of the easiest to make. So let's get started making this fantastic candle; we've included a step-by-step guide.
Step 1: Measure Your Ingredients
- Before using, get a 30 cl glass container and make sure it's clean and dry.
- Use wick stickum to fix your wick in position at the bottom of the glass.
- Fill your pan halfway with boiling water and lay it on a burner or hotplate to melt your soy wax using the double boiler method.
- Weigh out 44 grams of wax with your metal scoop and digital scales and place it in a glass dish.
Step 2: Melt Your Wax
- Place the wax bowl on top of the pan and use a thermometer to monitor the wax's temperature while it heats up.
- Keep your pan on low to moderate heat, and don't let your wax get hotter than 80°C.
- Once your wax has melted, add your color of choice, either color dye powder or liquid dye.
- Add a tiny spoon of candle color powder and gently mix until the color has spread evenly; add more dye if you want a brighter color.
- Pour the wax into your candle glass slowly and gently to produce your initial layer.
- To attach the wick and assure it is suspended taut and upright, use a wick centering tool.
- Allow 1–2 hours for the candle to set before adding the next color layer.
Step 3: Repeat The Process
- Repeat for each color until your glass is 1cm from the top.
- If you have sinkholes on your last layer, save any leftover wax from redoing the pour.
- Allow your candle to cool completely before using it.
- Trim the wick to the desired length.
- Put your new candle to the test.
