| I'm trying to figure out how make a lot of the candles you see here on this candle site. I also would like to know how they are able to make all of these different pillar candles.
I know I want them to be plain unscented pillar candles (that is the main reason I am posting -- I have found lots of places that make the smelly ones, but I really want them to be plain unscented pillar candles). Thanks, and any help would be great! |

| If there is a good craft store in your area (such as Michael's, A.C. Moore or Pearl Paint) you should be able to get the materials you need. You will need a candle mold (They make them in the shape you want), some wicking, some parrafin wax and a pot to melt it in. Parrafin wax is white, so you just have to melt it and not add any scent ot color. One hint- As wax hardens, it contracts. This will leave an indent in the candle, around the wick. If this bothers you, melt a little more wax, to fill it n, after it sets. I hope this helps. |

| Best place I can send you for Pillar making supplies and a fabulous expert on the making of them is Lyschel of Candle Cocoon. She has all the supplies you'd need..(and much better quality and price than a craft store) And she makes beautiful candles herself. candlecocoon.com |
