There is nothing like a set of candles to warm up a room. They give a very specific vibes that will help you to relax or have a nice time with your friends or family. Not only is making your own candles a fun activity, you get to dress your home in a style that represents you. You select your favorite colors, scents, and even shapes with your very own candles! However, there is one more thing that you should be aware of and is the most important thing with regards to your candle — the container. Fortunately, Fenn is here to offer up some tips on the candle containers that are your best bet!
Candle Containers Are Possible in Different Dimensions And Structures Choosing the right one for your candles is crucial. The wax and the wick — the string that catches fire to provide light — are both inside the container. The shelf life of your candle and the dispersion of aroma in the room can also depend on the container. Glass containers are a great example because if the candle shines, the light will shine through the glass, which is beautiful. That said, you can also use other container types, such as metal tins and ceramic jars for your candles.
In selecting a container, consider not just its size but also the shape of your candle. If you use a container that is too small, your candle will burn out very quickly, and you will never get to enjoy it because it will not last long enough. But if the container is too big, the candle could burn unevenly leading to wasted wax and a mess! Additionally, it is extremely critical to consider the composition of the container. However, certain materials, such as plastic, may not work with hot wax due to melting or warping.
Different varieties of wax demand different forms of container. Soy wax is a commonly used wax that performs well in glass or metal vessels. Another good option is beeswax, which you will want to be careful to use in heatproof glass or ceramic containers. Paraffin wax is also a general collection wax, so it is adaptable for any kind of container (just do not use plastic containers, since paraffin and plastic can melt together).
Why just see with basic glass or metal containers? There is a whole world of exciting, crafty opportunities for making candles! Fenn has some very different containers like concrete pots, terrariums, and even mason jars with wood-lids. These unique vessels can elevate your candle-making project and seem like a great addition to your home decoration. Different containers can also serve as great topics of discussion when you entertain!
Fenn is an environmentally conscious company and wants to assist you in environmental choices. Consider using reusable containers for your candles. After your candle has been burned out, clean out the jar, and you can use it for other crafts, or you can just have it at home for storage. In this manner, you will actively contribute to minimising waste and making a positive difference to the environment.
Now that you have the ideal vessel for your candle, it is time to personalize it! Your creativity shines here at this point. Fenn has various styles and designs of customizable labels that assist to exhibit your personality styles. You could also make your container pretty with fun items like ribbon, twine, or even glitter. Candle containers can feel special, and they can be wonderful gifts for friends and family if you personalize them.
