How To Make Homemade Candles For Breast Cancer Awareness Giveaway Items

By Angela Rogers


Candles! A necessity that people realize they need when the lights go out, whether or not it s your fault or not. They come in different shapes and sizes and even scents to set the right mood depending on the occasion. But most of their time is spent filling in the absence of light. They are also a great idea for breast cancer awareness giveaway items.

Certain materials can be used to create this wonderful invention. The most common is paraffin but have the disadvantage of releasing carcinogens into the air. With an emphasis on health and what can be done to reduce the carbon footprint, they emit in the environment around them. But there is a natural and healthy way around this and it comes in the form of candles made from Beeswax.

Fundamentally, because beeswax based candles come from bees, it means that the harmful carcinogens that are found in paraffin based and other kinds of blocks of wax is absent. Making for a much safer, cleaner and greener product overall. One which is safe enough to be used by people with compromised immune systems that happen to be hypersensitive like allergies.

That should not deter you from making your very own. All that will be required is some beeswax, half a cup of coconut oil, 60 ply wick, 3 half pints or 3, 586 ml jars, a large pot and some bamboo skewers in order to make the candles on your own.

Long sticks of wax with some wicks at the end are synonymous with soothing and relaxing, regardless of whether they re made from beeswax or not. This makes them a great instrument in stress relief and a great aid for those individuals who dabble in meditation. A major advantage beeswax has over its counterparts is that because it s natural, there is no need for artificial scents, meaning the sensations felt by the senses, particularly smell are 100% real.

Being fragrance-free means that such products are devoid from artificial fragrances which are most likely to increase the effects of carcinogens as the compounds they are made from are generally toxic in order to give off those smells we have come to recognize.

Once the wax has been added, remove the container from heat and allow it to cool for approximately 10 minutes or until it s safe to hold in order to make adjustments to the wick. Repeat the process to make more candles and allow for them to cool overnight. Trim the top off but not too much such that tunneling will occur when lighting and there you have it. A beeswax candle.

Extra precautions should be taken into consideration during this entire process due to the fact that beeswax is an extremely flammable substance and should be handled with care in order to avoid any injuries or moderate to severe burns that could have been easily avoided with taking a little extra precaution. That will allow you and others to enjoy your craftsmanship
