Varieties Of Soy Candles You Can Buy Or Make
Soy candles can be used in every space in the house without the appearance ever becoming stale. This is because they come in so many shapes, sizes and shades that there are soy candles that go with every type of decor.
The tiniest soy candles are tea lights. These little, round soy candles are usually sold in small silver tins. They are most often found in white, but any color tea light is available. Tea lights are usually odorless soy wax, but there are scented ranges available. They can be used to embellish very small spaces, or placed in small, decorative candle holders.
Tapers are long, slim candles often used as table centerpieces. These candles can be hand dipped for an old fashioned look, or they may be created from a taper cast. Tapers are usually odorless and are available in any color that you think. Because tapers are most often used decoratively, tapers are sometimes colored to give them a more different color. The bright metallic tapers sold in the period of holidays are often made up of white wax and painted with candle paint.
Votives are the most popular type of soy candle on the market today. The small size make them possible for displaying, and votive-sized candle holders are readily available in every pattern. Votive soy candles are almost always scented, and the variety of scents available is staggering. Votives are available in food scents, nature scents, perfume scents and newly-created scents that invoke all of these.
Shaped soy candles come in interesting shapes and textures to create interesting look. Soy candles shaped like dragons, little babies, animals and foods are all molded soy candles. These are usually unscented and intended as display pieces, as burning these soy candles will damage their shape.
Pillar soy candles are solid soy candles that are usually round and scented. They come in sizes two inches thickness and can be a foot in diameter or more. Larger pillar soy candles need more than one wick in order to be able to burn the complete length of the candle. These soy candles are great for decorating a room and setting up decorative articles to the candle. During holidays, pillar soy candles are mostly adorned with wreaths or holly berries at the bottom. Because the bottom is even and the width lets it to stand up itself, pillar soy candles do not call for candle holders to keep them in place.
Floating soy candles are little soy candles with a slightly bigger top than bottom. The shape slopes up to make the candle dislodge less water as it glides. These soy candles are often used in displays of water. By putting in some water into a decorative bowl, floating soy candles make a subtle statement of beauty.
