Llyrellin Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hello all! I have been making candles on and off for a couple years - mostly just with the wax you get at Michael's or Hobby Lobby - but lately I've really gotten interested in it and want to start making more, better candles. However, I'm a student, which = not too much money. So I was wondering: Where do you find is the best place that doesn't charge too much to buy wax - especially for pillar candles? And where do you find is the best for other candle supplies? Oh - also, what would items would you suggest ( I have a presto, some molds, FOs, and a pouring pot) to get started - well, on a slightly larger scale?

lindsaycb Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Depends really on where you live for shipping purposes. But I'd start with Candlewic.com. They've got some great prices to get you started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesprite7 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 The best thing for you to do is shop around...Do a price comparison onthe wax you want to use, and the same for the supplies. Sometimes companies will get you on the shipping charges.Just last night I was looking for Dipping Vats, I found some at what I thought was a decent price, then I looked at another couple of sites and got them $10 cheaper than what I thought was a good price...so it definitely pay's to shop around...check out:Peaks (these guys have great prices also)pourette (this is where i got the dipping vats cheap)Candlewic (i like this one too)and this site who gives you suppliers by state:http://www.candleandsoapstuff.com/Suppliers_by_State.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 If you have been paying the prices at Michael's you will be pleasantly surprised how inexpensive wax can be from other suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
