Whether you’re looking for a creative new hobby or a way to make some extra money, Candle making kitsis an enjoyable and rewarding activity. With just a few simple tools and ingredients, anyone can create beautiful and unique candles. This beginner’s guide will provide you with everything you need to know about getting started with your own candle-making journey.

The Basics of Candle Making Kits

When it comes to discovering the art of candle making, the most important thing is finding the right candle-making kit. Not all kits are created equal, so it’s important to do your research before deciding which one is best for you. The most important factor when selecting your starter kit should be safety—first, look for kits that come with all the necessary safety equipment (such as gloves and goggles). Additionally, look for kits that include all the basic supplies needed to begin making candles such as wax, wicks, dyes, molds, fragrances, and other accessories.

Step by Step Guide to Making Your First Candle

Once you have acquired your candle-making kit it’s time to get started! To begin, lay out all of your supplies on a flat surface in order of usage (this will help ensure nothing gets missed). Then follow these steps:

1. Prepare your work area: Make sure that you have adequate ventilation and enough room to move around freely. Ensure that any pets or children are kept away from the area where you will be working for their own safety.      

2. Heat up your wax: Use a double boiler or melting pot to melt down your wax flakes into liquid form. Be sure not to exceed 140 degrees Fahrenheit while heating up your wax—if it gets too hot it could become combustible.          

3. Add colorant & fragrance: After melting your wax down completely add any dyes or fragrances of choice at this time and stir until they have been completely blended in with the rest of the mixture.     

4. Dip wick into melted wax & attach clamps onto mold: Once everything has been blended together take one end of the wick and dip it into the melted wax mixture before attaching it securely onto one side of your desired mold using a clamp or clip provided in most starter kits.           

5. Pour melted wax into mold & let cool off: Slowly pour the melted wax mix into your chosen mold until it reaches almost full capacity then let cool off until hardened (this usually takes about 10-15 minutes). Once cooled off remove from mold & trim off any excess wick using scissors
