Answer 1

First of all, forget Michael's and the craft stores if you plan on making any profit at all. Their prices are way too high and their quality is way to low. Simply overpriced junk that real candle makers laugh at.

You need to get your supplies from a reputable supplier like:

Make sure that use high quality wax and scents if you want to get repeat customers. A quality candle can cost you about $2.00 to make and reasonably expect to sell for $7 - $8.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

  It will cost you less to get your wax at Wal-mart. As it's the same wax just in bulk. The oils to add what ever smell you want at the Flea market. Wicks you will have to get at Michels. I use to do that but it takes time to build up your bussiness. Don't go into it thinking you will get rich over night. That just don't happen. If you would like to talk to me. Mail me at [e-mail]

Answer 3

2-3 dollars per candle !i
