What Comes In A Candle Making Starter Kit

Your candle making starter kit is going to come with quite a few things in it. They’ll be all the things you need to have a successful candle making experience. If you’ve never made candles before, this is the ideal way for you to learn how it is done. Who knows? You just might decide you like it well enough to want to do it again and again! (If so, you should look for wholesale candle making kits – they are available online and are much cheaper than buying them at your local craft store.)
Basics – Consumables
These are things that are going to become part of your finished candles. These include wax, wicks, and probably your container.
You wax will probably be one of three types: soy, beeswax, or gel. All three have benefits, and no one type is the

absolute best. Soy is probably the easiest to work with, so maybe start with a soy candle making starter kit. Soy is also the most environmentally friendly out of the choices available.
Also, if your candles are going into a container, like a jar or votive, you will be using a different recipe of wax than if you are making tapers. For your first candles, we recommend a jar candle – it’s the easiest type to learn on – it’s also most forgiving.
You will also get wicks for each candle that your candle making starter kit makes. You want to have quality wicks, so that your candle will last a long time and burn cleanly. The best wicks are the zinc-core wicks. Don’t worry – zinc isn’t lead, which would be dangerous. The wicks that were a problem with lead were from outside the U.S. Here, you should have no problem finding zinc-core wicks. They are better than cotton (which smoke and aren’t as hot). When a zinc-core wicked candle burns, it burns to the bottom – which is more than many other types of wicks can say.
There also need to be enough wicks for the size of the candle. That will generally be dictated by the candle making starter kit – how many they choose to include for each candle.
There should also be fragrance for your candles. Sometimes you can choose which scent you get – particularly if you buy your candle making starter kit over the internet, where they are more able to personalize your kit.
Coloring is also a part of your kit. Like with fragrance, you probably will be able to choose the color you want to make your candle.
