I’ve always wanted to make my own candles, but I have never actually gotten around to doing it. I have a friend that makes them though, and I learned a lot about how candles are made from watching her. She makes great candles, which is not a surprise. The surprise was how much goes into a making a good candle and all of the candle supplies she must have to make them. I began to wonder how she was making a profit with all the different candle supplies that must be purchased, but she soon taught me that it’s not as expensive as it may seem.

When you buy candle supplies, you have to buy in bulk quantity to make any money. If you just want to make them for your own home, or to give to friends and family, you may not be worried about the price. If you are starting a home business selling candles, the candle supplies are going to be your biggest investment, as you may have already guessed. There are so many different things to buy that you may find that you have to put more money into the project than you originally thought.

The most important candle supplies are the ones you need right away. For the most part, you need wax, wicks, fragrance, mold, containers, and something to melt the wax. These will make basic candles, but if you want a product that stands up well, has a great smell, and looks amazing, there are other candle supplies you must get, and this is where things can get confusing.

Candle additives are chemicals or substances used to help give your candle a slow burn, even scent, a unique appearance, and the ability to stay fresh and new looking. There is an additive out there for everything, and if you look at a website that sells candle supplies you will see what I mean. You should research before you buy to decide what candle supplies you need before you start so you don’t have to stop in the middle of what you are doing to buy something you forgot, or didn’t think you would need.

You may also want to buy specialty candle supplies, and a lot of these things can be bought online. Some people prefer beeswax for candles because it is natural and contains no chemicals. There are different types of wicks that burn at different rates. Some additives are essential, while others are used for special purposes. This is why you have to know all about candle supplies before you buy them. You don’t want to run out, and you don’t want to buy something you have no use for.
