If you're just getting started, one of the easiest candle shapes to go for is the container candle. Just like the name suggests, this type of candle allows you to simply pour your wax into a heat-proof container - like a glass or metal jar - and simply let the material mould your candle for you. Whichever container you choose, it is important to let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to achieve the best results.
