Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this kit after I suggested to my Grand kids that we could make candles for their mothers and teachers instead of buying Christmas Gifts. I am never sure why, as the Grandfather, I suggest these things. I think of things that sound good in my head and it seems to spill out of my mouth before I can get them back. Having said it, I went looking for a way to make it happen. I found this little starter kit which only has supplies for 4 small 8 oz candles but makes a nice starting point. I bought a few more supplies (OK, A LOT) and the 5 grands (ages 6 to 16) and I started to make their candle gifts. It was no where near as bad as I envisioned. A bit of a mess but not horrible and this kit with pre-measured supplies was a nice way to begin the learning curve. It has 4 - 1/2 pound bags (2 lbs. total) of Soy Wax. Each bag makes 1 - 8 oz. container candle. Soy wax is very soft and doesn't seem to work well for molds (found that out the hard way...) but if you start with this kit and use the simple instructions, you can then easily buy more supplies to do more. We did 20 candles and the kids had a blast. I sent them home and took a nap... then realized my house ... well it was fun.
