If you are like millions of other people across the globe, lighting a candle can be a soothing experience.
A well placed candle can not only provide a little extra light, but depending on the scents you choose, it also puts you in a better mood.
We use candles every day to relax, rejuvenate our spirits, and sometimes just to mask odors.
Whatever the reasoning, candles are a product that has many different uses.
If you have ever been in a candle boutique, you also know how expensive they can get.
For what anyway? A little wax, some scent oil, some coloring, and sometimes, a pretty holder? You can make the same candles at home for pennies on the dollar, and then sell them to your friends, your family, or perfect strangers for a great profit.
Candle making and selling is an extremely lucrative career, and you are only limited by your creativity.
As long as you can produce a good product, you will have no trouble at all.
In itself, wax is very cheap.
You can by bricks of it at any craft supply for extremely low prices.
Coloring is not bad either and neither are molds.
You can even mold candles out of molds you already have.
Wafer candles made in muffin tins provide a surprisingly rustic look that is often sought after.
As far as scents go, they are the most expensive part, so you may want to start off with just a few, and expand your list as your business grows.
