Making custom candles? Maybe it’s best to look for materials online!

Today is a nice warm day – which is surprising considering it’s already autumn. Since I didn’t have anything important I had to do, I decided to take the day off and help my girlfriend in her tasks. She owns a small arts and crafts store, and her latest project involves making candles. So essentially we spent the morning roaming around the city looking for all the ingredients, and now we’re about to get started doing the actual candles. Well, so far I really wish I’d have thought of getting prepared on time and ordering all the ingredients online… I feel that way it would have been much less expensive and troublesome, with better results all around.

For example, we went to literally a dozen of stores looking for some good-looking jars to place the candles in, and nothing we’ve seen seemed to quite please her… so she ended up choosing some basic jars, and she wasn’t so happy about that. Well, just as soon as we got home, it took five minutes of research to find out this website selling bulk libbey jars, which she adored. So she’s basically doing some tests this afternoon with the jars she got in the morning, and then wait a few more days so the new jars get delivered. If only I’d have thought about checking online for all the candle-making materials sooner!
