Depending on the candle you want to make, you’ll need a few supplies:
Wax comes in many varieties, such as beeswax, soy wax, and coconut wax.
Wicks are typically made of hemp or cotton string, but some crafters use wooden wicks.
Jars are necessary to hold the wax if you’re following the pouring method of candle making.
Molds are used to create specific shapes of tealights, votives, or pillar candles.
Wax melters heat the wax to its liquifying point.
Additives take your candle from ordinary to spectacular. Try using fragrances for a heavenly aroma or sparkles for a shimmery finish.
Wax dye turns plain wax into festive candles for Christmas and Hanukkah or pitch-black candles for Halloween.
