Candle Making

Thank goodness that the modern world no longer needs to read by candlelight. Children all over the world are perhaps not as grateful as they can no longer say my homework caught on fire from the candle, but due to the fact that they don't have to help make the candles probably out weighs the excuse of getting out of homework. 

Candle making has become a forgotten art. Not many people have ever been lucky enough to experience the thrill of candle making. Candle making is certainly askilled art that takes some experience and patience to master. Today’s technology makes candle making a lot easier with the different thermometers to get the wax at the right temperature and fragrances out of a bottle to acquire that pleasant aroma without having to climb any mountains to snag exotic flowers. Now candle makers can go to any craft or hobby store and pick out the type of wax, yes there are different types of wax from organic soy to home grown bee wax. Colors and fragrances are just as easy to pick out as one can just meander down the aisle and pick out a variety of different supplies from different molds to shapes that can be added to the candle while setting. 

People who wish to dabble in candle making will quickly find that it is addicting. One simple change can create a completely different look, from putting the wax in the freezer while it’s cooling to digging a hole in a bucket of sand and pouring the wax in there. Candle maker enthusiasts often start off with the intention to experiment but become addicted to the rush and thrill of waiting for the final product to come out and then the reward of getting to light the candle and enjoy the sweet fragrance while knowing that this candle was made with love.
