Hello (bride.)! Thank you for delurking, it's lovely to meet you!

Kaki and Kat, I will try and dig out the candles and take a proper photo of them, we made them months ago and packed them all up!

Riley, it really is easy. And fun!

FF, I didn't add scent to them as they're going to be on the dinner tables. I thought about adding some sort of citrus oil, to keep

Thanks for all the good tips! I too have been thinking about making soy candles (just for around the house in the winter). When they aren't going on the dinner table, I love a light citrus or lavender scent--did you add any scent to yours? I haven't been able to find any directions anywhere about what and how much to use (just lots of talk about what waxes take scent).

Yay!! I had considered pouring my own candles for our wedding, and you have just made it seem kind of easy!! And thanks for the tip about not turning them over to bang on the bottom.... that would have been me!

Could you post some more pictures of these? They were very pretty pictures, by the way, but I'd like to get a better view of the final product :) Sometimes art and utility clashes *grin*!

Everything is going to look so soft and pretty with these floating around. I love this new movement away from mass produced goods.

They're going to look fantastic :)

I was thinking of doing the same thing but didn't know where to begin! Thank you. Would you mind sending me a pic of a whole jar so that I can see what it looks like. You can email me at kakita99AT hotmail.com

[de-lurking!] Wow, that's really fantastic... and CHEAP!!! I'm majorly impressed. I love soy candles, though I must admit I miss playing with the wax with my fingers. ;-) I bought pretty inexpensive soy tea lights from an Etsy seller (to use in jelly jars as well!), but your way is much more economical. **bangs head** I could have bought something fun with that money!
