By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Krystal_Bennion]Krystal Bennion

Although soy wax has been discovered just recently, a huge number of people are choosing this kind of wax when it comes to candles. This is because they believe that soy wax when used in candles is natural and is not harmful to the environment and to people. Aside from that, such candles are also cheaper compared to candles that use various types of wax.

People love variety and that is the reason why you will find a huge variety of soy wax candles in the market. Those who collect candles are very happy when they come across soy candles that are made to come in various shapes, sizes, and colors.

The most interesting candles that are made using soy wax are the ones that are molded. To create such a kind of candle, the melted soy wax is poured into a mold. The mold is the one responsible for the shape. So when the soy wax cools, it takes the shape of the mold that it is in. There are special molds used in creating candles made from soy wax however for those who make their own candles at home, there are household items that can be also used as molds. Some people use cans, Tetrapak containers, and even the molds used in making cupcakes or tarts. The important thing to keep in mind is that the mold should be able to hold the melted soy wax and should be able to withstand the hot temperature of the wax.

There are also the pillar soy candles. Though they are made using a mold, they are not usually classified as molded candles. If you have noticed, there are a lot of pillar candles available in the market at present. They are one of the most popular types of soy wax candles. For those who are just starting with candle-making, the best thing to create will be container candles. There is no need for you to use molds to make such. All you need is a good and strong container like a small jar. You just pour the melted soy wax inside it, place the wick and let it cool. And you have your candle.
