Candles

I bought one of the scented Wood Wick candles today, OMG it smells delicious (I got the biscotti scented one), it has a cool wood wick and it crackles.....I love it! I'm a candle freak, lol.

Anyway, I'm thinking about making my own candles.... has anyone out there every tired it? I think it'd be kinda fun (a nice winter-time project).

I want to but the start up cost for good candles vs the people that have told me they are interested in buying them has kept me from doing it. Eventually I will save enought to make them for myself and the couple people that were interested (if they are still interested). I would like to have my own little store where people can see them. May make selling them easier.

If you decide to make candles I wish you all the luck!!!

I'm just going to make them for myself, and for a few friends.... for the fun of it. At least I think so, I'm still in the pondering stage..... I've been kicking it around for quite some time now..... Something different to do during these blasted Wisconsin winters.....lol...

I think it would be a good hobby and if you can make enough extra maybe you could take them to a holiday bazar?

I LOVE the woodwick candles-I have them all over the house!

I used to make candles all the time-for myself-it is an interesting hobby. You find you can do a lot more with wax then you think! I used to do a lot of sculpted candles. The problem was, I liked them to much to sell-so it was strictly for me!

Have fun! The soy base is awesome, and a lot less messy!

I made a candle in 4th grade at school. My Mom kept it to only light on my wedding day. She still has it-unlit. :p

LOL Natisha..... that'd be me too.... :)

CelestialDreamer.... me too! I love candles! Knowing me I would keep them all for myself.
