You won’t have to worry about running out of wax, wicks, or fragrance oil when you need it the most. It’s essential to plan ahead and make a list of all the ingredients you’ll need, so you’re all set when you’re ready to start making candles. Take a look at the two examples for wax and fragrance and see how the price differs when you buy in bulk.

Get your Packaging Right: Once you’ve made your candles, the next step is to package them correctly. It’s essential to choose packaging that will protect your candles during shipping and transit. Consider packaging such as glass jars, metal tins, or kraft boxes with tissue paper and ribbon. Add a gift tag with a personal message to make your candles even more special.
Spread the Joy: The beauty of homemade candles is that they make for perfect gifts. Spread the joy by sharing your creations with family and friends. Pack them in a festive gift box or a Christmas stocking and hand them out as thoughtful presents.
