What are the best things to add to bees wax to give it scent for candle making.?
Hello,
I recently purchased a large amount of bees wax and square braid cotton wicks. I plan on making many candles for myself and whomever and I am sure the natural scent of bees wax burning is pleasant enough on it's on. However, I was looking into essential oils and comparing them to more 'orthodox' options concerning giving the bees wax a scent. I am generally concerned with the idea of adding mildly toxic substances to beeswax candles and I don't wish to. I am trying to weigh all of the angles and I would love some input. I was imagining adding some normal house hold items, but I wouldn't know where to start there. On the idea of scents, which are your favorites? Mine is likely some where in the vanilla range.
Here are a whole bunch of scented crafts and recipes for both candles and soaps - http://www.craft-kits.net/scented-crafts.htm
