Question

What's a good website with ingredients and directions on candle making?

Answer 1

I would go to Michael's or JoAnn's and get the supplies from there, they usually come with instructions.  Otherwise, just google candlemaking supplies if you want to buy them online.

Answer 2

Candle making is not really that hard, but you do have to 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 differnt 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.
