The Craft of Candle Making


Candle makers know that candles are a welcome addition to our daily dealings. This knowledge has transformed the candle making business into a multi-billion dollar industry, with big wigs like Yankee Candle Company pounding out product, small independent businesses like Kingston Candles in New Hampshire following suit, and thousands of men and women making candles from their home.

Candle Making Supplies


Making candles is fun and easy to do. In fact candle making can be a great activity to do with your kids, or it can be a great way to make homemade gifts for your friends and family members. To start making candles at home you will need the right candle making supplies. These supplies should include: candle wax, candle molds, wicks, and fragrance.

If you are interested in making homemade candles then the first thing that you will need to find are candle molds. Candle molds are generally sold in craft stores near the candle making wax and supplies. Candle molds can take on a variety of shapes and sizes. You should select a mold that reflects a design style that you enjoy, or that someone you know will enjoy.
