In order for you to make best-quality homemade candles, it is important to also use only the best of quality materials. Hence, it is vital for you to know the different types of materials that you use.

WAX – There are many different kinds of wax, ranging from natural wax to easy burning waxes; there surely are many things that need to be considered in your waxes. Some waxes are specialized for longer burning; some are specialized to be clean-burning with no soot. Our personal wax recommendation would be coconut wax, of course. Aside from burning longer than paraffin wax, coconut wax holds fragrances more efficiently and is also eco-friendly!

WICKS – Different types of wicks may react differently to your candles. Your wicks affect your candle’s life, the flame of your candles and of course the safety of your candles. Thus, it’s highly important to put more thought into the wicks you’re using.

CONTAINERS – It is important to not just use durable containers but also use containers that are fit for candles. This would affect the even burning of your candles and also the safety of your candles. Remember: a proper container means a safer candle and home.

Candle-making is truly one incredible roller coaster ride. There may be times when you fail in making candles, but fret not, just like any other skills and hobbies, candle-making can be improved through Patience and Practice.
