Candle making has grown in popularity, and if you haven’t taken the time to make candles yourself yet, making your own candles as either a hobby or a business opportunity to make some money with candles may be something to consider. There are so many types of candles to buy or make, such as soy candles, gel candles, pillar candles, beeswax candles, floating candles, tealight candles, aromatherapy candles and floating candles, just to name a few.

I am what you might consider a candle junkie. I buy candles on a regular basis and have fragrant candles burning nearly everyday at our house. Buying candles at a retail store or grocery store always leaves me disappointed. Have you ever smelled a candle at a store and liked the fragrance, but when you go to burn the candle at home, you’re left disappointed because the fragrance doesn’t permeate throughout your house or apartment? I don’t have that problem anymore.

Buy Candles or Make Candles

A reader recently asked me, “Where can I buy candles?”, after reading my recommendation to use scented candles to help spice up your marriage, and for the relaxing enjoyment fragrant candles bring to the home environment. If you’re looking for candles to buy and want to know where to buy candles, I highly recommend Mia Bella Candles for all of my fellow candle junkies, as these candles are the only brand of candles I am willing to buy.

Not only are Mia Bella Candles the best clean burning scented candles I’ve ever bought and burned in my home, with a large variety of candle types and fragrances to choose from, but candle addicts can actually make money with candles with a candle business, and a home candle business just might be what you’ve been looking for to make extra money with candles. If nothing else, you now at least know where to buy candles online and where I buy all of my candles, and you can even win FREE candles!

How to Make Candles

Homemade candles, where you make your own candles, is something many candle junkies are interested in learning how to do. Even though I personally don’t have the time or inclination to make my own candles, many of you are.

If you want to learn How to Make Candles of all different types of candles, you’ll first have to load up on candle making supplies like: candle wax (soy wax, organic wax, paraffin wax, bees wax, etc) double boiler or pouring pitcher, thermometer, candle wicks, molds, fragrance oils and scents, containers (jars, tins, glassware etc), candle dyes, additives and various other candle making basics.

Knowing the types of candles you plan or intend to make can help cut down the costs of candle making supply, since you’ll be making candles of a specific type rather than going hog-wild spending enormous amounts of money on supplies you may never use. If you choose to make candles yourself or you decide to buy a candle making kit of some kind, be sure to carefully follow the candle making instructions for candle making safety, in order to avoid any potentially dangerous situations while making candles.

Whether you make your own candles or buy candles online, candles make excellent all occasion gifts as well as beautiful, fragrant home décor accents. Gel candles and floating candles are among my favorite types of candles, and there’s something to be said about the benefits that come from burning aromatherapy candles while taking a nice, leisurely bath.

I think if I were to ever decide to try and make candles, I’d probably want to make gel candles for my first attempt at making candles, but since I’m very happy and content just buying Mia Bella Candles, I think I’ll just stick with those.

Besides, being able to win FREE candles is always a nice perk of buying high quality, clean burning candles that I love, last a long time and are the best candles I’ve ever bought. “Discount candles” or “cheap candles” are usually what I refer to as crappy candles that aren’t worth the dollar people too often spend on them.

You can either waste your money on cheap, crappy candles that will only leave you disappointed, or you can make your own candles or buy candles with fragrances that fill your home with the smell of coffee, baked breads and cookies, chocolate, lavender, wildflowers, or my personal favorite…Crème Brulee, just to name a few.

What about you? Do you make candles? Have you thought about learning how to make candles yourself? Have you been disappointed when buying candles in a store because the fragrance didn’t turn out to be what you expected?
