aromas13 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Hello All,I have finally decided to jump into candle design!! I have thought about it for a while but just decided I needed a new hobby! I am starting as a hobby and we will see where it goes form there. I am very excited I ordered the beginners kit from Moon Glow yesterday so I am anxiously waiting for it to arrive. I hear candle making can be very addicting! Any advice for someone just starting out because I have no idea what I am doing. I am assuming it is just trial and error. I prefer do soy candles since i am a more "natural" type of person. I would like to use true essential oils in my candles even though I know they most likely lose their therapuetic effects when used that way. Any advice would be appreciated!!Happy Candling,Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatinDucky Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Howdy and welcome to the board Yup, it's very addicting and will often make ya pull your hair out, but well worth it We do have a whole section for natural waxes (soy, palm, etc) so you might want to browse through there too.From what I've seen, not many people use EOs in candles. Not only is it much more expensive, the scent don't usually throw as well. Good luck on your new hobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
