A guide on how to start a candle making business.

Candle making is a fun hobby and can even become a lucrative business. In this guide, we'll show you everything you need to do to get started.

Assemble Your Work Area

It's important that you have everything in the same place when you're ready to make your candles. This will make it easier for you to find any ingredients or supplies that you need quickly.

When you are finished making your candles, clean up your work area so that it's ready for the next time.

Find Your Inspiration

Candles come in all shapes and sizes, so don't be afraid to experiment with different styles and materials. Do some research online or go into craft stores to see what kinds of items are available before deciding on a specific design. For example, if you want to make candles shaped like animals, then look for molds that match those shapes or try drawing them yourself.

Gather Your Supplies

The supplies required for candle making will vary depending on what type of candle you're planning on making, but there are several common ones: wax (usually beeswax), wick (cotton or linen), molding material (e.g., silicone rubber) etcetera.
