Candle Making

Making candles for a living has become a popular business, mainly because the supplies are relatively inexpensive compared to the selling price, and you can be so creative with candle styles, colors, scents and more. You can even make candles in fish bowls or jars to give it a little spin for customer appeal.

If you already make candles for a hobby to give as gifts, this will be an easy business for you to start. But if you have never made a candle before, you should experiment first (save your experiments for holiday gifts!) and get a knack for it. There are many good books on various kinds of candle making, or you can check to see if your local craft store or community center offers candle making classes, where you can learn the craft.

Candles sell particularly well at Christmas craft fairs, as many are looking for gifts for others. You can also investigate wholesaling your candles to retail stores (on wholesale or through consignment), and selling them to those who need candles for business purposes, such as gift basket businesses, bed and breakfasts, etc.
