I would love to be able to make wonderfully frangranted candles and soaps and make money off of them. I’d like to do this then get paid for my passion. I allready have a website, in which I sell designer perfumes, so it would incorporate well. My web address is scentsationalfragrancehomedecor.com I have to find out how and then just do it! LOl

Found this that might make candle making more enjoyable:

Now to wait for payday!

I need to order this great candle melting contraption- reduces the mess and melts the wax- has a handy thing for pouring into the molds. Second step is to get some good wax, molds and wicks and some yummy scents!

My mom made soap to support my brother and me. It was awesome! At first it was a job, then it was fun. It is a great bonding activity.

So I followed the instructions on this site
Candle Making Instructions
for candle making basics

it was easy enough, a little messy but I really enjoyed the end results.

I am going to try the coffee candle next

goodluck and have fun

I not only learned how to make handmade soap I turned it into a successful business, shipping products coast to coast and around the globe.
