DIY Candle Tutorials

I’ve always wanted to make candles, but I also didn’t want to get screwed on the prices of the various candle kits in craft stores. Luckily, the interweb exists, and tells you basically everything you need to know! So YAY!

Pioneer Thinking has an awesome list of just about everything you can think of when it comes to making candles. Check it out!

Oh yeah – MyCraftBook has a good list as well.

Cajun’s Candle and Soap Making Supplies has step-by-step candle making instructions.

Let’s Make Candles has a ton of information about candles.

Matt Freedman KNOWS what he’s talking about! Check out his videos on candle making.
