It is important to remember that candle making involves some basic concepts. It will take a few tries to complete the steps properly, but give it some time. You will have to experiment to find the methods that work best in your work environment to make the candles you want. It is suggested that you only make a few candles at a time to keep from wasting money on supplies while you are learning. Before you start making candles, it is important that you understand the dangers of candle making including burns and fires. You will want to have a fire extinguisher handy as well as a non slip mat. Always wear old clothing with long sleeves and make sure your sleeves don’t dangle into the hot wax. Your candle making process will run smoothly if you divide your work area into three specific work stations: 1 The preparation area 2 The melting area 3 The cooling area These work areas are usually set up in the kitchen since most people use their stove to melt the wax.
