Christmas Candle Making.

With Christmas coming up fast, the same old tale begins to immerge from the terrifying depths of the guilty pit. What can I buy the little buggers for Christmas? You ask yourself this question every year but this year it will be different.

Making Christmas Candles is for Everyone.

If you are a candle maker albeit a trainee candle maker, but all the same you love to make candles as a hobby, then you have the perfect gifts right under your very waxy nose. If you are not a candle making and are not interested in the candle making crafts, then you better start getting interested and start your learning curve – NOW! What things are made and burnt at an alarming rate in the winter months when Christmas is nigh? That’s right! CANDLES! So, it seems silly really to not make some candles as gifts, the perfect Christmas present and for the perfect Shrek like Christmas. Bah humbug and that’s ok, but it’s not, get your hands doing the work on these candles as soon as possible and surprise your friends and family with maybe some candles and wine for the present.

Candle Colours.

For the colouring of your candles, the candle colouring would need to be either red or green. Other colours are permissible but in general and like on almost all of the Christmas cards, who ever sees a white candle in your home on Christmas day. Now in the churches a white votive candle will obviously be the norm but at home, go for your life, colour is needed and indeed wanted by everyone in this festive period.

Christmas Gift Candles.

Why you are probably asking yourself do my friends and family want to be Christmas gift candles. Surely my friends and family would want other gifts for Christmas. They would want the latest Playstation and Nintendo, the most recent touch-screen lardy dah, I’m better than you nah-nah nah nah-nah iphone. Well, Yes, but would you rather look at the smug, eh erm! gentleman, playing with his touch screen phone or admiring your beautiful Christmas gift candle with his hidden but really showing grudge against you. No-one ever liked smug Uncle Tommy, so, that’s 1 point to you. He never buys you anything anyway, sorry usually a without an ounce of thought scarf and hat set. Now, every year you have your secret weapon of an inter-ballistic wax type7000 super dooper Christmas Candle. Fire! Fire! To really rub it in, you could right his name on the side in glitter. Pe-oooow! Who says librarians and candle makers don’t have a dark side.

Jokes Aside – We all Love Christmas Even Scrooge.

Putting all joking aside candle making is a wonderful hobby and the thing is, most people even the i-phone (I’ve got everything technological) gadget freak really love Christmas and like it the traditional way. Traditional in the sense of burning candles, snow on the ground, family get togethers, (that they moan about all year but really love) robin redbreasts sitting on the fence, and of course, Turkey and Christmas pudding.

So How Do I Make Candles

My typing finger hurts now, so all I will say, there are many sites out there to learn about candle making, finding the equipment and sourcing clients if you want to sell your wares. Feel free to check my website for more details about candle making.

Happy Candle Making Christmas!

I had purchased 2 new glass votive holders and 6 votives. Is there something I can put in the votive holder so the candle won’t stick, making it easier to interchange my votives?
