Debk Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Hello, Hello everyone. Newbie here. Just learning so bear with me. I am trying to find where I can get a beginner candle kit at a reasonable cost. I am wanting to make the rustic/primitive candles and use the silicone molds for gingerbread men, etc. and fixins. I love the ones I bought and really want to learn how to make them myself. Are the rosehips made of wax also or any tips on how to make your own? Thanks everyone and have a good day!

Candle Man Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Welcome to the world of candle making.For candle starter kits you can try Peak Candle Supply they are the sponser of this site www.peakcandlesupply.com Also check this link for suppliers close to your area to save on shipping http://www.candleandsoapstuff.com/Suppliers_by_State.htmlAlso learn to use the search feature on this site, it is at the top right of the page. You will find lost of info already asked.Also check the helpful links for newbies http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=698Keep notes of everything you read and detail notes of every candle you make.A note to remember candle making is not a quick process, you don't just melt wax add color, scent and wick. It is much more involved than that with lots of testing.Always be safe, wax will catch fire. Use a double boiler to melt wax NOT direct heat.Hope you have fun.Candle Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
