Simple pillar candles in tall glass makes a statement for your home decor. Perfect for entry way, or dining room table.

Ribbed candles are so aestetically pleasing! I like to use those paired in uneven numbers. Use your imagination, they also look great with one ribbed and the rest smooth candles.

I cannot recommend enough to buy products from a candle supply company. Why? If you buy your supplies, wax, wicks, fragrance oils from a craft store, you really do not know what type of wick it is, wax it is (yes, there is a lot of different types of...
This is the wax I started with and can honestly say people love it. The candle maker has a few hair pulling moments but all in all its a great wax and highly used by many candle makers. It is a softer wax meant for containers.

Love this wax so much!! I use this for wax melts, candle embeds and pillar candles. It is a parasoy wax which is a harder wax making it ideal for pillar candles and wax melts. It is easy to work with and gives your creation a great heat throw.

If you are going to make more high end candles, the fragrance, vessel and label sets you apart. I cannot recommend this supplier enough! There is not a scent that is bad.
