Would you be interested in soy candles?

[flowerchild]

Today I went to my favorite soy candle online shop and they have stopped making my favorite scent! At first I was really bummed, but then I thought, why not try and make it myself. Then I thought, I wonder if I could start making them and sharing them with others! I've been looking for a home business opportunity!
Well, before I get into this all hardcore, I wanted to get a feeling for who would be interested in these and what kind of scents you would be looking for.
TIA!


BTW, if I were to start advertising these here, I would purchase a Jewel membership (I'm going to anyway as soon as we can afford it).

It's made from soy wax as opposed to beeswax or paraffin. Some people believe that soy is more "green," burns cleaner, etc. I can't find anything concrete saying that one is better than the other. Personally, I think that soy holds scent better.

I have some wax, wics, sents and colors I bought to make some and never have if you are interested in them? Going cheap?

I have a soy bear (a gift from DH that he got from the PX). It's a teddy bear dipped in scented soy wax and it is amazing. The scent lasts up to a year and if it starts to "die out" you just take a hair dryer to the bear, heat up the wax to reactivate it, and then use a fork to make it look fluffy again. So simple and brilliant! You could easily do that.
