How I Got Started Making Candles
I knew after making my very first candle that candle-making would be a significant part of my
life.
It all started when I was trying to find a hobby which would allow me to create something with my
hands (utilize my artistic side), yet serve a functional purpose as well.
I didn't know what I was looking for, but I felt strongly that I would know it when I found it.
Frequently I would stop by the local craft stores, and purchase something, take it home and try it.
After trying a half dozen different types of hobbies, all of which proved not to be for me,
I ended up purchasing a candle-making kit. It was a very basic kit which came with a little bit wax, a few
wicks, one mold, some dye, and some fragrance.
The idea of making candles didn't really excite me all that much at first. But as I was making that first
candle, I began to realize the potential of this craft. There are an endless number
of possibilities with candle making.
Ideas just kept pouring into my head about how I could make all sorts of unique candles. And it wasn't
long before I was searching where to buy candle wax in bulk.
And so the experiments began, and they continued for about a year until my candle making techniques had
evolved to a point where I had created something totally unique. One-of-a-kind Handmade Designer Candles!
And this is how Groovy Candles began.
