Forms Of Soy Candles One Can Buy Or Produce
Soy candles can be placed 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 small, round soy candles are generally sold in small silver tins. They are most often found in white, but any color tea light is possible. Tea lights are usually fragrance-free soy wax, but there are scented types available. They can be used to embellish very small places, or placed in small, decorative candle holders.
Tapers are long, slim candles often used as table pieces. These candles can be hand dipped for an outdated look, or they may be created from a taper pattern. Tapers are usually unscented and come in any color imaginable. Because tapers are frequently 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 coated with candle paint.
Votives are the most common type of soy candle on the market today. The small size makes them easy for displaying, and votive-sized candle stands are readily available in every form. Votive soy candles are almost always scented, and the variety of scents available is amazing. Votives are available in food aromas, nature scents, perfume scents and newly-created scents that produce all of these.
Molded soy candles come in exciting shapes and textures to create interesting look. Soy candles shaped like dragons, babies, animals and foods are all molded soy candles. These are usually unscented and destined as display pieces, as burning these soy candles will damage their shape.
Pillar soy candles are thick soy candles that are normally round and scented. They come in sizes two inches across and can be a foot in diameter or more. Larger pillar soy candles need over one wick in order to be able to burn the full length of the candle. These soy candles are great for decorating a room and adding decorative pieces 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 allows it to stand up on its own, 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 in the upward direction to make the candle displace less water as it drifts. 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.
