Soy Tealights
What are soy tealights? Tealights are used for decorations and also for more
practical purposes such as food warmers. They are very small so they
have a shorter life span. They are uniform in size so they can
fit all sorts of tealight
candle holders
.
They don't put out much light unless
you group several of them together. Their light is limited but they
can still get very hot. When lit the wax completely liquifies.
The wick needs to be securely anchored to the container it's in so
it won't float to the top when lit.
Most come in a small metal container. I have
heard that some containers are being made out of a hard heat
resistant plastic. This is supposed to give off more light than the
ones incased in metal.
Most people use them for more of a
decorative purpose. They are excellent for use in holders where a
larger candle wouldn't fit. Most are made from unscented wax and are
a plain white in color. Some people are making them in
different colors and adding fragrance. One of my favorites
fragrances is cinnamon
bun
. It smells so
good it will stimulate your appetite!
If you make your own you can add whatever
color and fragrance you want to. You are only limited by your own
imagination.
If you are making larger candles and have
any left over wax you can always save it and make a few of
these.
As with any candles please be responsible
and keep out of the reach of children and pets.
