I have made various candles.  It is pretty easy. you can add different scents and coloring to match your decor.  they make great gifts to have on hand.  Youtube is a great place to get any tutorial.

I use to love making candles.  I miss the candle shop that use to teach candle making and design.  I always wanted to own of those shops

It is something I have wanted to try but haven't yet. I need to put that on my bucket list.

I haven't made any in quite a few years but I don't remember it being very hard to do and it was lots of fun.

Making candles is easy and fun...but it takes time and space.  So buying them may be cheaper unless youre really into candles.  Its fun to pick your scents and colors.  Good luck if you try....

I've never tried to make candles but my little brother and sister did when they were kids so it must be fairly easy.

If you have all the appropriate materials, then it shouldn't really be all that difficult. All you need is the right wax, an appropriate wick, something to melt the wax in and either a place to hang the candles to fully harden or a glass jar that's thick enough so it won't crack when you burn the candle. You can usually add essential oils to the wax for fragrance and I'm not entirely sure what should be used to colouring the wax. I wouldn't recommend this as a project for young children though because of the hot wax.

Is making candles easy?
good question but I've never tried it before.

I have actually been thinking of making candles. I have so many mason jars laying around and have been thinking of maybe making homemade candles with them for christmas. Not sure how easy it is though. Im going to have to research it.
