Candle Making » Wax

ID #1038

I was wondering if you had a recipe for candle wax.

Actually there is no recipe for candle wax. Candle wax comes from plants that lived millions of years ago. Over a long period of time the plants turned into oil. Today we drill that oil out of the ground and separate it into different things, like gasoline, motor oil, plastic, and candle wax. Some candles are made of beeswax, click here for a link to sheets of beeswax that you can roll up into candles. A long time ago candles used to be made from animal fat, called tallow. Tallow candles used to make a lot of smoke and sometimes smelled bad.
