Welcome to How To Make Candles — a UK-based resource for anyone who wants to learn the craft of candle making at home.
We started this site because we noticed something: most candle making content online is aimed at the US market. The products, suppliers, and brands recommended are rarely available in the UK, and the advice doesn’t always apply to UK-available waxes and supplies. We wanted to change that.
Every guide on this site is written with UK candle makers in mind. We reference UK-available products, use Celsius temperatures, and recommend suppliers you can actually buy from on Amazon UK with free delivery. Whether you’re pouring your very first candle or troubleshooting your hundredth, we’re here to help.
What You’ll Find Here
Our site is built around three things: practical guides that walk you through candle making techniques step by step, honest product reviews of the best supplies available in the UK, and a curated shop where every product links directly to Amazon UK so you can buy with confidence.
If you’re new, start with our Complete Beginner’s Guide to Candle Making — it covers everything from choosing your wax to pouring your first candle.
