Candles

Making candles is a fun and rewarding craft that is perfect for beginners and experts alike. To get started, all you need is some wax, wicks, fragrance oils and a few other basic supplies. There are many different types of candles you can make, from simple container candles to more complex pillar candles. With a little practice and experimentation, you can create beautiful and unique candles that will brighten up your home or make great gifts for friends and family.
