FAQs

What kind of wax is best for candle making?

There are several types of wax that can be used for candle making, including soy wax, beeswax, and paraffin wax. Soy wax is popular among candle makers because it is natural and eco-friendly. Beeswax is also a good choice because it has a natural honey scent and is hypoallergenic. Paraffin wax is less expensive but is not eco-friendly and can emit harmful chemicals when burned.

Can I use essential oils in candle making?

Yes, you can use essential oils in candle making to add fragrance to your candles. However, it’s important to note that essential oils are not as strong as fragrance oils, so you may need to use more of it to achieve a strong scent. Also, some essential oils can be flammable, so it’s important to use caution when adding them to your wax.

Do I need a candle making kit to get started?

No, you don’t necessarily need a candle making kit to get started with candle making. However, kits can be a helpful way to get all the supplies you need in one place and often come with instructions on how to make candles. If you prefer to buy supplies separately, make sure to read up on the process of candle making and what supplies you will need before you begin.

What are some tips for beginners in candle making?

  • Start with a simple project, like making a basic container candle.
  • Follow the instructions carefully and measure your ingredients precisely.
  • Be patient and allow your candles to cool and set properly before burning them.
  • Experiment with different fragrances, colors, and wax types to find what works best for you.

Shop local for candle-making supplies when you can. I do as I save a ton in shipping.

Supplies can get heavy and you save money when you purchase in larger quantities. Purchase what you can afford and use. Some products have a shorter shelf life.

I also get to meet the team at the supplier locations and can ask questions about their products. Most websites have support. Do not be afraid to ask. They know the products they sell more than anyone.
