Hi Aileen:


Are you looking to make your own candles and sell them or become a distributor with a company and sell them?

Making your own candles is basically trial and error! smileys/smiley36.gif You have to find the right size wick for the right size jar, etc. But I very much enjoy making my own candles. There are tons of resources on the web for info. I would suggest going to a craft store (AC Moore, Joann's, or Michael's) and look at purchasing a candle making kit. There is also a woman on this forum who sells candle kits (I forget who, though, sorry!). Kits are a great way to test out a little of everything.


Some info I have found helpful:

Hi Aileen!


I think it's great that you want to start something new!


Do you live inAfghanistan?


I was just wondering, because I know that my company does not extend internationally. You may need to check with the candle making suppliers as well!


Good Luck!
