My daughter and I want to start making our own candles. My first thought was to visit the local craft store, but after reading posts I'm beginning to think I shouldn't waste my money at the craft store. It seems like shipping is a big issue for buying was so I've tried to find a supplier in Florida. There is one about 90 minutes away. The only soy wax they sell is Enchanted Lites. Would this be a good wax to start with? I've seen a lot of good recommendations for Ecosoya, but I don't think I can get it locally. Are there any supplies I could use from the craft store or should I purchase a kit of basic supplies from an online site?
