Best Candle Making Kits Buying Guide
Before choosing the best candle making kit you should consider following options:
1. Safety: You will be working with hot wax and potentially hot liquids, so make sure that the supplies you choose are safe for you to use.
Make sure you have heat-resistant gloves to protect your hands from hot liquids and wax. Also make sure that you have eye protection, as wax can splash and cause damage to your eyes.
2. Quality of supplies: Before you purchase your supplies, make sure that you get the best quality items that you can afford. Low-quality wax may not give you the best results.
You will want the best color gels and fragrance oils that you can afford to get the best quality candles. Look for suppliers who offer quality products at an affordable price.
3. Variety: Don’t limit your self to one type of candle. Most candle making kits come with the supplies and instructions to make votives, tapers, and pillars.
Explore different types of candles and find the ones that you love to make so that you can sell them in your store.
4. Time: If you buy a kit that requires you to add fragrance to the wax as it cools, you will have to wait for the wax to cool and then add the fragrance oil.
If you purchase a kit that already has fragrance oil added to the wax, it will be ready to pour into the containers and then you can add color.
Decide which option you want, based on your time constraints. You may want to make a selection of candles that you can sell, or you may want to make specialty candles for yourself or as gifts for friends and family.
5. Cost: Before you purchase a candle making kit, make sure that you have an idea of the cost of supplies.
You will need to purchase wax, wicks, and containers, so make sure that you have an idea of how much these items will cost. Don’t purchase supplies that are outrageously expensive and don’t purchase supplies that are too inexpensive.
If you purchase supplies that are too expensive, you may not make any profit on your candles. If you purchase supplies that are too inexpensive, you may not have the best quality products.
6. Support: Depending on what kind of candle making kit you purchase, you may need support.
If you purchase a kit that requires you to add fragrance to the wax as it cools, you may want to call the company for support.
If you purchase a kit that already has fragrance oil added to the wax, you may not need any support.
7. Time Commitment: Depending on how much you want to make, you may have a lot of wax to pour, or you may have only a few containers to fill.
You will need to determine how much time you want to spend making your candles. Some kits are very simple and only require you to pour the wax into containers, while others are more involved.
8. Space: You will need to have a designated area for your candle making supplies. If you don’t have adequate space, the process may be difficult.
Check to see how much space the supplies take up and make sure you have enough room. The space you need will depend on how many supplies you purchase and how much of the supplies you actually use.
9. Variety: Decide if you want to make all of the same type of candle or if you want to make all different types.
