Answer 3

Candle making is not really that hard, but you do have to be cautious (making candles involves high temperatures, flammable substances, and potentially harmful chemicals). The beginner should start with container candles (usually in tins or glass jars) as this will get you some experience working with waxes, wicks, dyes, and scents. Note that there are many different types of waxes (container, pillar, soy, gel) and scents (not all are all safe together). I would recommend that you look at some of the sites I provided links to, take a lesson, or buy an introduction book/video. There is a lot of good and bad information out there, please use caution.

You might want to start with a kit, see my Amazon List here:

or

Sites:

http://www.candlesandsupplies.com (good for kits, supplies, info, videos, etc)

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/candlemaki... (great on-line group)

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/candleques... (great on-line group)

http://candleandsoap.about.com/ (good instructions)

http://www.candlecauldron.com/ (a very informative site)

http://www.gatehousecandles.com/ (my site)

One of your other answers listed "Candlewic", I would recommend NOT doing business with them as they have a bad reputation in the industry!

Hope this helps!
