Smell Obsessed Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 So, I am obsessed with Candles!! Like, Good, Strong Smelling, Burns forever Candles! I even live next to a Yankee Candle outlet. Love going in there. Have even thought about applying for a job. Anywho, while walking through Michaels today, getting yarn for a knitting project, I walked past the candle making section. Started to think about all the money I spend at Yankee candle a month. How I am burning a candle every day. I have glass containers I obsess on not throwing out (Jelly jars, candle jars, wine bottles etc) Why not make my own candles? So I kept myself from making a mass purchase of supplies at Michaels, since as a know the yarn isn't the best, so figured I should probably do online research first, before dropping the plastic card. So I found you guys. Seems after pinning a lot of recipes, I have read the comments that there seems to be a very particular science to this all. So, I am now trying to not be overwhelmed either lol. Thinking I may need to buy a notebook to write down recipes with what does and doesn't work. So bear with me as I may go alittle crazy on posts once I get the supplies. Glad to be here! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCandleGarden Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hello! Welcome! I'm new here too. I've been reading books and each one gives a different opinion on the how to's of candlemaking. So, i started a notebook for my recipes and am using it to track what works and what doesnt. Good luck to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 You'll find a lot of mixed opinions out there and some of it will never work and some of it might and some of it will. There are some things that are cut in stone, but there's a lot of forgiving too. Welcome to the board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
