Hello! So, I've been trying to track down soy candles, especially tealights, and I've been surprised at how hard it is to find them (in-store not online). So, I ended up coming across a site that mentioned making your own soy candles and that it's not hard - ha!! maybe not to make a candle but to get one that burns well and smells good might be another story! Regardless, I'm intruiged by the thought of making my own! I haven't started making my first candle yet, I just ordered the majority of my supplies yesterday after two long days of research using the advice off of this site! (Thanks!!) I am understanding that the type of wax, the specific FO, the wick, the container, using dyes, etc are all factors in a successful candle outcome. I'll note that at this point, the plan is to make candles for myself, my family and my friends for Christmas gifts, so they don't have to be completely perfect, just close I am looking to figure out what containers to use and could use your recommendations. I had an idea of what I wanted and ordered wicks using those thoughts, but after more thinking I'm not so sure. So... more specifically, I'm hoping to hear what you recommend based on what I have coming my way, to help me be a bit more successful at my attempt. I'm expecting a handful of fragrances from Peaks and CS, Ecosoy 135, LX wicks in sizes 24, 26, and 28, along with some dyes from CS for use in some of the candles I'm hoping to make. I was planning on going with a 6oz Oval Hex (2.5 x 3.5), a 9.5oz Multi-faceted (3 x 3.75) and a 10oz flat top jar (3 x 3.13). After additional thinking, I was thinking it might be nicer if I had a 6oz, 8oz and 10oz jar though I'm not sure about what shape to go with to get the best burn for the wicks I've ordered. Since I have already dropped a load on other supplies, I'm hoping to get some advice before ordering jars (not a ton, relatively 50 or so). I can always get more wicks, but I'm hoping to try to use what I have coming to me first. I'm not limited to those three container sizes if you think the wicks will work with other sizes, and I'm not closed to pouring some candles in containers without lids. I know I'll have a lot of testing to get to what I envision for a final product and before I need to have candles done for Christmas presents I may not have them to that level. Any recommendations you have will be incredibly helpful! I research pretty heavily before committing to jump into anything, and I feel good about the FOs and wax, just unsure about the jars. Thanks in advance and sorry if this was a bit winded!! Jen
