Materials for gel candle making

You will need:

  • gel
  • zinc wicks (cotton wicks can't be used for gel candles because they absorb too much gel)
  • essential oil for fragrance
  • liquid color dye
    Oregano Dressing - Good For Allergies
    An Individual Health Recipe to Enjoy

    As the weather becomes warmer our bodies naturally turn to lighter dishes and raw
    foods. Here is .....
  • embeds (optional)
All these materials can be obtained online from candle making suppliers. It is important to use essential oils and colors specially made for gel candles; fragrance oils you can buy in a cosmetic shop are not suitable. Also, you can buy a gel candle making kit. Getting a kit is the best solution for a beginner, because it will include everything you need to make your first few candles.

And of course you will need a container. The best container for a gel candle is glass, so people can see the embeds you put inside the candle, but any non-flammable container would do. You can use any glass, wine glass, or even a small wide vase, but your container should be at least 2 inches in diameter. Garage sales and second hand stores are gold mines, when it comes to candle containers. See examples of http://www.bestscentedcandles.info/candle-holders.htm
