sharpie Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 For someone who is new at this (Me for example:grin2: ) would you reccomend getting a starter kit, or just ordering the supplies seperately? Thanx in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindanelson Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I say buy a starter kit. That's what I did. I found one that included the jars, wax, wick, and fragrance oil.Some of them include other items also. Do a google search, you'll come up with lots to choose from.I did the same when I wanted to try pillars. It just so happens that kit sucked. I researched alot and then bought molds, wax, and everything else that goes with making pillars. I've been making candles for almost a year now. Even though I have sold some and have a done a craft show, I am still learning and researching. Researching and trying what I read is how I learn. Good luck to you.

Mack Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I think you can get starter kits on ebay or at one of my favorites www.southbaycandles.com ............ there a host of others on the netbut I do remember him selling candle kits.

judyvega Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 My personal opinion is to buy a kit from a REPUTABLE seller - when I even first thought about making candles, I found a place on the web and bought a container kit (ha, now I have no interest in containers) - the kit sucked - didn't know what type of wax, wick,etc. was in it (didn't even realize at the point that I needed to know that kind of stuff) - the fo SUCKED - so I would suggest Peak, or you may find another one close to you.

Breanna Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 My first kit was pillars from www.peakcandle.com They Offer a LOT with their kits. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozyaromas Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I totally agree with Breanna, I just purchased the pillar kit for my mom, and it has everything she needs to get started. I love Peaks starter kits, I purchased a couple for myself when I first started making candles and IMO I think they are the best, you can't go wrong with them!!!
