The Main Reasons to Use Candle Making Kits

If you've read my previous blog posts, you know my name is Carol Stevens and I make a living out of selling my own hand-made candles and teaching others how to make candles as well.

I've been making candles for a little over 5 years now and this is how I got to understand how important using candle making kits is!

I wasted a loot of money and a loot of time trying to figure out what ingredients, supplies, and materials to buy and use for making candles.

Little did I know, I could have saved all of that time and money by just buying candle making kits!

See candle making kits bring everything you could possibly need to get start making candles. They are actually so popular that people of all ages and all levels of candlemaking use them.

Candle making kits are now so easy to use that they are even sold for children to begin making candles as well. Children absolutely love using these kits because they are so easy to use and get started into the action of creating candles.

When I started making scented candles all I had were two candle making kits (soy candle and beeswax candle sets) and an ebook (which you can read by clicking on the url link in this paragraph).

It was super easy to get started and I now make money out of making my own candles!

Why I Use a Candle Making Mold

Why do I use a candle making mold? Because I'd be dumb not to!

Think about it, if there is an easy way for me to make any shape of candle possible by just pouring the wax and then extracting it when cools... why would I want to not do it that way? Why would I want to make my life more difficult?

I am all about simplifying my life... not complicating it. This is why I use a candle making mold any chance I get.

Believe me, my life already has enough complications! (Did you know I've got two teenage daughters... Need I say more!?)

I've made all kinds of candles in different shapes by using a candle making mold. These molds are very economic, make your candlemaking experience run a lot smoother, and allow you to focus your attention and energy on creating beautiful candles and having fun!

How I'm Making Money from Making Scented Candles

Hello everyone! Welcome to my Blog! And, thank you for taking the time and having the interest to read my posts!

My name is Carol Stevens and I've been making scented candles for a little over 5 years. What started out as a hobby is now a full blown business.

During my first year of candle making, I made candles for myself, my friends, and my family. I actually gave candles to everyone that I could. I mean I love making candles so I literally had tons of candles that were gorgeous and were just sitting around the house.

So, I realized that I could save a lot of money giving out these candles as presents in cute gift baskets and that is exactly what I did.

As luck would have it... my friends showed off their candles to other people and in a couple of months, I was getting phone calls from complete strangers asking me to take down their orders! I got phone calls for baptisms, birthday parties, weddings, and christenings! And that was just within the first six months! We all know word travels fast but I had no idea HOW fast!

So, now I'm making money making scented candles, selling them, and teaching others how to do it too!

Learn how I got started making scented candles right now!
