???Candle Making for Beginners: How to Make Scented Candles from Scratch???


In medieval times, the trade of chandlery (candle making) was vitally important to kingdoms and villages. Light was obviously a necessity, and that light came from wax or tallow (animal fat) candles. Businesses, homes, parishes, etc. All relied on chandlers, making it a rather lucrative profession for the medieval craftsman. Today, while candles aren't a practical necessity, they can add a masculine or romantic ambiance (depending on what you're going for) to any room. Candles can truly be very meditative and thought-provoking. But, they're also expensive. Turns out homemade candles cost just a few bucks each, smell and burn just as well as the expensive ones, and make for a fairly easy project that won't take you more than a couple hours. They make for great additions to your workspace or den, as well as excellent and inexpensive DIY gifts for your loved ones.
