So, you've had your first taste of candlemaking from your beginner's kit. What's next?

Well, if you've been bitten by the bug, you will find that the kits are too restrictive. You want to experiment more. This means larger quantities of wax, different sized wicks, colours, moulds and not forgetting the all important fragrances.

You will need to locate suppliers for all your raw materials. A quick search through your favourite search engine will bring up lots of results from which to choose from. There are plenty of choices but who to use boils down to a question of price, delivery charges, customer service, etc.

One word of warning though, candlemaking can become addictive and will definitively make a big dent in your finances. Be prepared for your Credit Card to take a severe bashing. I have mentioned this before. However, talk to anybody who makes candles and they will all say that the expense is definitely worth it. We all experience pleasure, and frustration, from working with wax.

You just can't beat the satisfaction of creating a beautifully, handmade candle that will give somebody much joy from burning and enjoying the aroma.
