Shedding Light

It's hard to imagine a time without electricity, when the simple, flickering light of a candle was relied upon to illuminate the evening hours. Ready-made candles often were luxuries, so less expensive homemade candles were common in many homes. Today, candles are readily available in all styles, colors, and designs. With the growing popularity of candles, many crafters are rediscovering the art of candle making and are customizing candles to suit their home decor and to give as personalized gifts.

With a little practice, a bit of inspiration, and the right equipment, you'll be delighted by your candle-making results. You can also add decorative elements and your favorite colors and scents to the candle wax, giving your candles a character all their own. Candle making is also a great craft to share with children, but should always be done with adult supervision.

You'll find most of the necessary supplies in crafts stores.
