What Do You Need to Make Candles? Find Out Here!

I love making candles, and really enjoy the whole process that comes with it. I especially enjoy the artistic aspect of making them for their beauty and scents, and the therapeutic aspect of making something with my own two hands.

I love being able to make my own amazing scents for my home, and I completely enjoy giving them away as gifts to my friends and family members.

Supplies for Candle Making

I hope this list will help in making things less complicated, and demystify what you thought you would need . . . and what you really don’t.

Digital Scale

A digital scale is a necessity for when you’re weighing out your wax and fragrance oils in the candle making process.

Digital Thermometer

Your wax will need to reach a certain temperature that’s perfect for making candles, so you’ll need a digital thermometer.

Wax

There are two different types of candle wax: container and pillar.  Container wax is meant for wax to place into containers, such as a mason jar. Pillar wax is a harder wax meant for candles to stand on their own, such as tapered candles. You can also buy beeswax or soy based wax to use in your creations.

Containers and Molds

Candle molds let you shape your candles any way you like, and glass or ceramic containers are great for holding your newly made candles. You can choose from mason jars, glassware, and so much more!
