Building an Inventory for a Candle Making Business
Variety is the greatest asset for candle making as a business. Candles that come in all different shapes, sizes, colors, and scents, allow for a wide range of appeal to all different kinds of customers.
Candle making can be profitable and easy, after a little practice.Supplies can be ordered in a kit all together or separately in bulk. To get started, first decide what kind of candles to make. This will determine what kind of wax to use. A harder wax is necessary for free-standing candles like pillars or tapers. Soft waxes are better for candles in a container, like jar candles.
Paraffin is the most commonly used kind of wax and also the least expensive. These candles will burn longer because paraffin has a high melting temperature. It is petroleum-based and typically colorless and odorless. However, it can also be purchased in different colors. It is available in solid blocks, smaller chunks, or powder form.
Beeswax is also commonly used. Beeswax has a lower melting temperature than paraffin, so hardener might need to be added for a free-standing candle to hold its shape. It also shrinks quite a bit in the cooling process, so special attention will need to be paid to the molds and containers, refilling to the top as necessary. It is sold in blocks, chunks, pearls, and flat or honeycomb sheets. Melting temperature and color are not always consistent, although its color averages to various shades of soft yellow. It also has a faint honey scent. Beeswax is more expensive than paraffin.
Less common waxes include bayberry, soy, and gel. Bayberry comes from a shrub, is naturally aromatic and is a pale green color. It is also very expensive.Soy candle making wax is derived from soybeans. It is renewable and biodegradable but is very soft and best for container candles. Gel wax has a very high melting point, which can be more challenging for home candle-making.
Other materials such as wicks, dye and scent additives, and molds or containers are needed. A double boiler is best for melting wax, although a clean can placed in a pot of water would also work. Some basic household items will be useful too, such as wooden spoon, scissors, and tape measure.
The wax should be broken into small pieces and melted over low heat. Once it is liquid, special candle dyes and scented oils may be added if desired. The wick is held upright in the mold or container, and the wax is poured around it. The wax must cool for several hours before removing the mold.
Building inventory is just the beginning of candle making as a business. Once there's an assortment of colors and styles, they'll be ready to sell. A table or booth can be purchased at a local craft fair. Setting up a website to sell them online is another possibility. Local craft stores may be willing to carry them in return for a percentage of the sales. Wherever the venue, providing a quality product and creative packaging will keep them in demand.
