BE CREATIVE - MAKE YOUR OWN CANDLES!

 (To Decorate With Acrylic Paints!)

If you want to truly be creative from start to finish, why not make your own candles? Regardless of whether you are painting on the candles themselves or on the glass candle containers, you can come up with some great items to give as gifts, to sell,  or to enhance your own home décor.

Making candles is easy. You, of course, need a few supplies. Then follow a few steps, and you can achieve the finished product you envisioned in your mind. There are a lot of ways to make candles, from following simple, quick steps or some complex methods.   Whatever style of candle you decide to make, injecting some dose of your own creative ideas will make a whole lot of difference.

As you insert your own brand of style, do not forget to work safely and do not risk quality of the product over appearance only. There must be a balance of both. When you feel as if you have been training your self well in making custom candles, why not try it out as a small business?

The following pages of this website hopefully will give you many, many ideas, and remember,  if you are painting directly on the candles, go easy on the scent.
