Not to be discouraging, but if this is a one time project for you, you would probably be better off just buying them from one of the talented candlemakers on here. Like the others said, by the time you get all the neccessary supplies and get it tested in you could have bought them cheaper.....most people don't realize how expensive and time consuming making candles can be. They think it's easy to just stick a wick in some wax and viola! I ,however, want to make sure that my candle is SAFE before giving out to family and friends (as I am sure you do too)......anyway, whatever you decide, good luck!
