Candle Crafting

Candles are wax items, typically with a wick in the center, that provide light and heat when lighted.
Candles are manufactured through the process of candle making. Making candles includes melting wax, coloring and scented it, and then putting it into a container or mold with a wick in the middle, and can be done as a hobby or as a business.
Candles can be made from a variety of waxes, such as paraffin wax, soy wax, beeswax, or palm wax. Candles can be made from a wide variety of waxes, each having its own melting point, aroma throw, and burn period, and corresponding aesthetic and practical possibilities.
Candles come in many sizes, colors, and scents, and can be created to look like just about anything. There are candles designed specifically for aromatherapy, and there are candles designed to provide light and heat. Making candles is not only a great way to express your artistic side, but it can also be a lucrative side business.
