| Q: |
How do I get started making candles? |
| A: |
As we identified in our feature article, making candles for a source of income is becoming more common then ever. Because of this we are getting this question more than ever. As I always like to say, “There is not a right or wrong way to make a candle if the candle is being made safely and results in a safe burning candle.” Inevitably, there is some type of initial research by the “future candle maker,” which should be undertaken to learn the basics. I have always offered the following:
- My homepage which is a “walk through” on the different types of candles and suggestions on wax, wick and color selection.
- A sponsored site that helps with different aspects of candle making.
- All past issues of the Enlightener.
- We now have an excellent video to also help you learn the basics of pouring soy wax candles.
- Because it is so complete our print catalog can also serve as a good starting point for the beginner.
- Visiting a local craft store like Hobby Lobby or AC Moore can also help with finding the right materials.
Finally nothing beats getting in and trying the process. Two of my favorite kits:
Kit-5 - Soy Wax Container/Tea-light Candle Making Kit
Kit-8 - Container Candle Making Kit (Paraffin Blend)
