While producing white candles is fun and they can be very elegant, they can also be very boring. Why not add some color to your candle making, you can find all sorts of candle making dyes and they come in many forms. Such as blocks, chips, flakes, liquid and powders. You will also find them in many colors, if they don't have the color you wont you can also blend to create your shade.
When using dye it will depend on the amount of wax you use, also the type of wax used and how dark you want your candle. This is where testing comes in handy, then once you have found what you are looking for you will be able to produce more of the same. Also you don't want to affect the candles burning quality so sometimes it's best to go with less dye rather than more. The best thing to do is test, test and more test, this way you will get it right.
When testing for color you should always take a small amount out and put it on a white saucer and then let it cool, this will then give you a good idea of the color. Once you have finished with this cooled wax you can then put it back into the melting pot to reuse. You also wont to avoid over heating the dye as it may cause color distortion. When you make a new combination of wax, color,scent it would be a good idea to do a test burn to check everything is working okay.
