Candle Making Supplies
If you are new to candle making, before you start, you are going to want to make sure that you have all the right candle making supplies. This may actually be the most important facet of your candle making hobby. If you have the wrong supplies, your process will end up being a disaster and will not be the least bit fun. If you are interested in pursuing candle making as a business then you really want to make sure you have the right supplies! Having the wrong supplies will end up costing you a lot of money which in turn will decrease your profit margin dramatically.
Candle mold: Before you select your mold you need to think about what you want your candle to look like. Candle molds come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes so the possibilities are endless when choosing your mold.
Wax: You will need to research the various types of wax you will need to make your candle. These include beeswax, paraffin, gel and soy wax. All have different properties and are used for different effects.
Dye: What color do you want your candle to be? This will determine which dye to purchase. Candle dyes come in pretty much any color you can imagine so simply choose which color best matches your taste and project requirements.
Pouring pitcher: This is helpful in keeping your candle work area neat and clean
Candle accessories: These are particular to gel candles, but there are literally hundreds of things you can do with various accessories. Once again your personal taste and project requirement will determine how you should best accessorize your candles.
These are the basic supplies that I use in my own candle making business. This should be enough to get you started.
