would these work well for making soy candles?

These bowls are small and would work for candles but empty glass votive holders would probably be less expensive. You are also paying for 12 small spoons that are included with this set of mini bowls. (You may know that it is not a set of 25 bowls - it is 12 bowls, 12 spoons and a recipe card.)

These are very narrow, 1"-1.5" wide top to bottom. I doubt you can get a floating candle in them. I am using them with long floral stems and had to trim them to fit well.

Unfortunately the won't be wide enough for a floating candle. They just fit a candle stick. I ended up buying silver candlesticks and cutting them down so they weren't taller than the vases and they for perfectly.

Hi....I have used these caspules for essential oils and have had no problem...however I think it would depend on what oils you use (how strong the ability would be to dissolve) and the duration of time....I only made mine for a few days ahead of time. Good Luck

I don'treally know as I haven't made candles. The things I have read though kind of discourage essential oil for candles.

Its pretty rigid but if you used a strong lubricant like shortening I am sure they would come out but you candle would look like a fudgesicke with some indents on the sides which could be considered decorative I guess. So yes. If you used a spray cooking oil I would be concerned about the hot wax disolving the oil which would mean you would have to put the mold in some boiling or very hot water to loosen them. Good Luck sounds like it could be a nice project.

I would say no because the consistency of the oil is very light and it may not mix thoroughly with the wax. But that's just my opinion, I have not made candles with theses oils. Perhaps buy 1 bottle and try?

Yes, I believe these are study enough for soup. I do not know about a votive candle.

That's a good question! I am not sure but I have used them to make vanilla extract and it turned out amazing! Sorry I couldn't be more of a help!

I'm definitely not a pro candle maker so I don't know the technicalities of the wick but I can tell you that it worked very well for what I did with it: soy candles made in mugs. Seemed to burn very well and very clean and was easy to work with.

I'm sure they would blend nicely in lotion and possibly soap. I blend a few drops of essential oils with coconut oil and it works well. I know from experience, it takes a ton of oil for candle making and is not worth the time or effort.

Yes...It would work fine. I use my warmer for candles only...They are each made of glass.

I used these in soy wax jar candles with great success. They burn with almost no smoke and very evenly.

I absolutly think you could use these for that function. I was very pleased with the quality of the lanterns. You can see them in my house on my blog here: http://cornerofoxford.blogspot.com/2013/12/let-there-be-pretty-light.html

I am not sure..they have worked for my hand sanitizer that includes essential oils but cooking oils, depending, have a different viscosity. Sorry I could not be more help!

I've made 3" and 3 1/2" container size with these I don't think you can go smaller, when I've made larger candles, about 4"to 5" jars I've used three wicks to be sure of an even burn.

I don't know i use soy wax candles. and that work great if you add some beeswax to the wick.
