How can i make Candles?

Question

i've always wanted to make one, but i dont know where to begin

Answer 1

You can get candle making kits at the craft stores or you can buy blocks of wax & wicks at same store to make your own style of candles using cans, bowls etc, as the mold.  Melt the wax in a old pot that you no longer use.  If you want you can add fragrance or potporri to the wax.  To get the wick to stay put you can tie the top part of the wick to a stick that is long enough to lay accross the top of the can or container that you use to make the mold & tie the bottom of the wick to a papper clip to use as a anchor to hold the wick down.  Once the wax is hot enough to pour, pour it slowly into the container.  Allow wax to harden.  You can leave candle in container or sit container in hot water for awhile to make the wax mold easy to be removed.

Answer 4

Find a local hobby/craft store, they should have everything you need. The most basic way is to melt wax in a pot, get a wick, and keep dipping it in so that more wax accumulates around it.
