Basic Candle Making Supplies Candles Scented Care Burning

The first thing you need in order to make candles, of course, is wax. You can melt down the ends of old candles or buy wax in slabs from your local craft store. Or, find wax and tons of other candle making supplies at websites such as Gen Wax.

On the Web or at specialty candle supply stores, you will find a wide variety of wax. There are special kinds of wax available especially for making votives, pillars, jar candles and taper candles, as well as beeswax, vegetable or soy wax and other specialty waxes.

Those different kinds of waxes used for different kinds of candles are really all paraffin wax. If you are shopping at your local craft shop, you will probably find one kind of paraffin wax, with a melting point of around 130 degrees F. By comparison, the wax made specifically for containers melts at about 127 and taper wax at about 140, so this basic wax is around the middle and will work for most basic melting applications.

Once you have purchased wax, you will need something to melt it in and something to melt it on. I use a hot plate and a nonstick pan, both of which are completely dedicated to craft use (you don’t want to use them for food after they’ve had wax in/on them). Many crafters set up a double-boiler to melt their wax (you can even buy one made for melting wax) but I’ve found the wax won’t pose a fire threat if you keep the burner on low and never walk away from it, even for a second. You’ll also need something to stir the wax with; I use a wooden skewer or a spoon from my craft stash.
