Once you  have all the candle-making materials needed, it is time to get started. Essentially, making smokeless candles is all about getting the proportions of your candle correct, so let’s begin. For neophytes to making candles, the best type of candle jar are the ones which are made from tempered glass.

Prepare the candle jar you provided. Place the cotton wick at the core central part of the jar. Let the wick remains stable within the corners of the jar. In measuring the length and width of the jar, you should keep an allowance of at least 2 inches.

Melting the main ingredient of the candle wax of your choice, is the next step to  making smokeless candles effectively. To melt the wax, place it in the double boiler or melting pot then turn on the flame afterwards.

Wait for the melted wax ingredient to liquefy. It will take you about 10 to 15 minutes before the wax will be completely liquefied for candle treatment use.

Add colors in the wax using dye or other coloring materials which are appropriate in making candles. The colors will depend on your choice.

Mix the dye carefully until the wax will transform into the color of your desire. This step requires you to work fast since you have to maintain the wax in its liquefied state.

After mixing the dye, you can now put on the scents of your choice. Add fragrance to the melted wax ingredient in order to bring beauty and life to the candles.

Pour the content of the melting pot into the candle jar. Fill the whole jar carefully up to the desired level. Cover and wipe the upper part of the candle jar using a wax or cookie sheet afterwards.

Following all these steps correctly will ensure that your candles do not produce tons of ugly smoke into the room.
