Should You Bother Making Candles at Home Using a Candle Making Kit?

Easiest way to make your own candles at home?

Get yourself a candle making kit, obviously… did you not just read the title??

Evenings keep getting shorter, colder and darker. So what better activity to try than making your own candles!

Definitely very practical, given the time of year. But is it as exciting as watching paint dry? At least 78,000 are interested in it according to the subreddit, r/candlemaking. While the latter (r/WatchPaintDry) only has 210 members.

Maybe that’s all the validation one could need.

Regardless, we’re committed. We’ve got the kit and we’ll be discussing what supplies are needed, how to make your own candle, and whether this is the perfect hobby to bother with during the Winter months.

P.S. If you truly can’t be arsed making a candle, this local Irish business makes 100% natural, sustainable ones, so you don’t have to: https://flower-child.ie/
