Essential Candle-Making Supplies

Creating a successful candle involves much more than choosing the right shape or design. The quality and performance of the materials affect how evenly the candle burns, how effectively it releases its fragrance and whether common imperfections, such as frosting, appear.

For the best results, pair soy wax or paraffin wax with the right cotton or wooden wick for your chosen container. Fragrance also plays an essential role. Add certified fragrance oils that blend well with your candle wax to achieve a strong, long-lasting scent and excellent hot and cold throw.

Epoxy Resin Supplies: What You Need to Know

Working with epoxy resin requires precision and reliable materials that help reduce bubbles and prevent yellowing caused by UV exposure.

Our collection includes crystal-clear resin art supplies suitable for a wide variety of projects, from jewellery and coasters to larger decorative pieces and resin crafts.

What to Consider When Choosing Your Supplies

Silicone mould quality: A smooth, flexible mould makes it easier to remove the finished piece cleanly and helps create an even surface. Our silicone moulds are designed to offer excellent flexibility, durability and resistance to repeated use.

Pigments and glitter: Always choose pigments and glitter made specifically for epoxy resin. They blend evenly into the mixture and help create a smooth, consistent and visually striking finish.

FAQ

What basic candle-making supplies do I need to get started?

To begin making candles, you will need high-quality wax, such as soy wax, a suitable wick based on the diameter of your container, wick stickers, fragrance oils, candle dyes, a precision thermometer and glass or metal candle containers.

Can I use the same silicone moulds for candles and epoxy resin?

High-quality silicone moulds can generally be used for both candle wax and epoxy resin, as they can withstand the heat involved in candle pouring and the resin-curing process. However, it is best to keep separate moulds for each material. Alternatively, clean them thoroughly after every use to prevent resin residue from transferring to the surface of your candles.

How can I prevent bubbles from forming in epoxy resin?

Start with a high-quality epoxy resin and mix the resin and hardener slowly to avoid introducing excess air. Once the mixture has been poured, lightly pass a craft heat gun or torch over the surface. You can also use a specialist bubble-removal spray to eliminate any remaining bubbles.
