Is making candles easy?
-
Well I made stick candles when I was a pre-teen and it was easy to me. Its just melting the wax and having a wick and pouring or dipping in the liquid wax and you can add color and fragrance from oil I do believe. I never made a jar candle only stick candles.
-
I don't how to make candles but some of my sisters do and they say it's easy.
-
it is actually very easy it just requires a lot of dipping until you reach the desired length of a candle. the easiest way i have found to do the wick is to tie it around a Popsicle stick that way you have a handle and you have the ability to let the wick dangle until the wax cools and hardens.

I have heard of it being easy and fun.
My favorite scents are vanilla and cinnamon.
-
I've made them before it's not to hard. I've even made egg shaped using eggs.
-
I don't know how to make candles, sound fun, but I rather buy the candles.

I use to make candles quite often when my daughter was younger. It was a craft we both enjoyed. The ones we did were very easy. Our local craft store had all of the necessary ingredients. Little milk cartons made great little candles.

If you have the right stuff to make candles it can be very easy. What makes it hard is if you get the clear crystals to make them and then want to add color and having to shave the right amount of the color blocks.
-
That is a good question. I have never made any but I think it would be interesting to find out how they are made. It sounds like something I am going to check out.
-
My only experience with making candles is to melt the wax from an old candle and make a smaller one. A way to reuse and recycle, I guess. I bought the wicks.

I have bought candles but never made one. I am not sure if it is easy or not, but I plan to Google this one and see what comes up. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :rainbow: :rose:

Is making candles easy?
I have made candles and in my opinion no it is not. I can't get the candles to actually burn after I make them. My aunt makes them and hers burn all the way til there is nothing left. Mine just burn til the wick is down in the wax and goes out. Sad thing is she will not tell me what kind of wax she is using or how she does it. Pathetic is you ask me. I do know she gets her wax in Wisconsin but that is all I could get out of her. And she uses a soy wax. I got some soy wax at Hobby Lobby but even when I do pure soy wax I still have the same problem.

i have not done this but have seen it done look easy need patient to do this.

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.

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.
