Making candles from ECO soy wax
The fee per person is EUR 35 (pre-paid) or EUR 40 on the day of the class.
In the lesson we will learn the basics of making soy wax candles. There will be both theoretical and practical advice on how to better strengthen the wicks and avoid wax leakage. Let’s make two soy wax candles using two different ways of fixing the wick. Let’s try to flavor the candles and decorate with plants.
Soy wax candles are 100% natural, which is a great alternative to paraffin, and they are cheaper than beeswax candles.
Pluses of soy wax candles:
- Burning soy wax candles does not increase the level of CO2 in the atmosphere.
- Soy wax candles produce 90% less soot than paraffin wax candles.
- They burn up to 50% longer than paraffin candles.
- If the wax drips, it is easy to clean from both the furniture and the fabric.
- Aromatic soy wax candles distribute more aroma.
Lesson plan:
- Theoretical part.
- Practical part:

We are trying different ways to fasten the wick.
Let’s make more this or that. :). - Theoretical part (and waiting for the candles to harden).
You will have given yourself a great opportunity to delight yourself and others with tasteful natural wax candles
