Most people love candles, and they just love collecting them for
their homes. Collecting candles is a great idea but making
candles is even better. Candle fundraiser activities have been
known and used by many people for many purposes. Candles are
easy to make, and you will enjoy it at the same time as raising
money for a good cause.
Soy candles are best for candle fundraiser activities. They are
much better and considered a healthier choice compared to the
scented candles. Soy candles have benefits that can never be
beaten by other types of candles. Soy candles can burn longer,
up to about 50% longer than other candles because they burn
slower. These candles are set at a lower heat temperature that
is why the fragrance is distributed better.
Candle making is a fun activity and can make a great hobby. Your
children and family members can even help you because they are
easy to make.
First, you should have a mold in which the candles are formed.
You can choose from cartons or metal molds and you can cut them
to the desired height. If your children want to try making

they should start by making short candles because it
will be easier for them to insert the molds into the wax.
Next, spray the inside part of your mold with silicone, or you
can use a light wipe of vegetable oil. Then you cut a wick which
is two to three inches longer than the mold. Attach a tab and
stick it to the center of the bottom part of the mold with a
little spread of melted wax. You can use a chopstick across the
top of the mold so that it can be centered and straightened. Now
you need the wax. To find out how much wax you will need, you
must pour water into the mold and mark the level you desire.
After you have marked the level, you can empty the mold. Be sure
to keep the mold dry. In melting the wax, the melting point
should be from 130-150F but you can also set it to a temperature
of 180-200F.
Now you can break the wax into chunks or you can pare it off so
that it will melt faster. You can either melt your wax by making
your own can which is placed inside a pot of water that is half
full, or you can melt it in the top of a double broiler pan. If
you use a can, make sure that

it is not be too shallow because
the can has the tendency to float. If it is shallow, the hot wax
might spill. In order to prevent fire, you should keep baking
soda on hand to toss on any flames that may flare up.
Then tip your mold a little so the wax can be poured down the
side. Fill it to about an inch of your preferred level. You must
keep the wax hot so that it stays melted. Watch the wax cool in
the molds and your candle is ready. Soy candles use bees wax
because they produce synthetic candles. You can apply drops of
oils or vanilla to make the candle scented.
A Candle fundraiser is not that difficult to start. You just
need the right materials and procedures in order to be
successful in making your first candles for your fundraising
activity.
