Candlemaking can be an art and a science. Most importantly it is a fun hobby that can become very addictive (you have been warned!!)

Now before you go rushing out to buy your fist kit, please do bear in mind that it isn't as easy as it sounds. Now don't panic you don't need a degree or anything but so many people think that after making them for a week or so they are ready to start selling them at their local craft fair.

This is a common mistake that many 'newbies' make. It takes many, many months of R&D and, more importantly, testing before you can start selling to the general public. It is very important that your candles are of good quality and SAFE. Your candles must burn properly unless you want a liability case brought to court. Imagine what this reputation would do to your brand new business, just because you did not take the time to research and test your products thoroughly beforehand.

It is easy to get very excited about any new venture, I know, I remember my first time making candles. Believe me when I say it pays to be patient and waiting to ensure you perfect one product instead of rushing headlong bringing out dozen of different ranges within a month of starting and getting everything wrong.
