"intro": "<strong>If you\u2019re the kind of person who loves to make things and gets a lot of satisfaction from creating charming, practical items, then candle making may just be the hot business idea that will turn you into a successful entrepreneur, without even having to leave your home!<\/strong><br>\n ",
"body": "<p>Research shows that the candle market is projected to reach more than $6.5 billion (CDN) by 2026. That\u2019s a lot of candles that people are buying\u2013and you could be basking in the afterglow of success.<\/p>\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n<h3><strong>Why candle making?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 It\u2019s easy to start up your own business. <\/strong>You don\u2019t need a huge investment, and start-up costs are low. All you need are candle-making supplies and materials: wax, wicks, containers, fragrances, colouring agents, and shipping and packaging supplies. It\u2019s easy to move them\u2013you can sell candles at craft markets, in stores, or even online. And there are so many kinds of candles that customizing them is simple.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022<strong> Everyone enjoys candles. <\/strong>We all love burning candles because offer a little luxury at an affordable price. They provide instant aromatherapy, set up a relaxing stress-reducing atmosphere, and make it cozy at home, especially during the holidays. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022<strong> It\u2019s a growing industry. <\/strong>We\u2019re used to inhaling the scents and watching the flames flicker at restaurants, spas and yoga studios. But more recently, candles are popping up in office environments and other unexpected locations for calming, soothing effects. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 It\u2019s not 9-to-5. <\/strong>Make your own hours: whether you want to make some extra cash or whether you want it to be your main source of income, candle making fits the bill. You can put in as much time as you want.<\/p>\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n<h3><strong>Where to start<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<div class=\"content-img\">\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"null\" height=\"434\" src=\"https:\/\/m1.quebecormedia.com\/emp\/cl_prod\/b8d6fe0d46cfe1d4b046eb5130b201f28868e4df\/iStock-1281460082-1.jpg\" width=\"650\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"media-description\"> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"content-img\">Unlike other DIY crafts, which take a lot of time to learn and need acquired expertise, candle making is easy, even if you\u2019re a crafting newbie. It can be hard to know where to begin, however. Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/villagecraftandcandle.com\/?utm_source=canadianliving&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=advertorial\" target=\"_blank\">Village Craft & Candle<\/a>, a Canadian candle-making supply store, that offers everything you need to light a flame.

An easy way to kick off your business, for example, is with the Soy Candle Kit, a professional-quality kit that comes with everything you need: jars, soy wax, wicks, fragrance oils, dye chips, and step-by-step instructions.<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"content-img\"> <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"content-img\">\n<div data-oembed-title=\"Candle craft: Candles that truly shine\" data-oembed-type=\"article\" data-oembed-url=\"\/contents\/1a43ef25-aa2e-4f5f-8171-286849c0fcb4\"><\/div>\n\n<p> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n<h3><strong>Pump up your brand<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<div class=\"content-img\">\n<div class=\"content-img\">\n<div class=\"content-img\"> <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"content-img\">\n<div class=\"content-img\">\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"null\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/m1.quebecormedia.com\/emp\/cl_prod\/8317e27b3439e8e236e563847c52f35b074bd25e\/iStock-1356341151.png\" width=\"650\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"media-description\"> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"content-img\">As with any successful venture, you have to like what you\u2019re doing and you have to have fun doing it, too. One big plus of candle making is that you can really customize your candles, and even start to expand product lines. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>\u2022 Experiment with different waxes, including beeswax, coconut, paraffin and soy. No specific type of wax or wax blend is considered \u201cbest\u201d for candle making. All high-quality candle waxes have been shown to burn cleanly and safely.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Use a variety of containers and packaging to make candles in jars and other colourful containers or tins, tealights, or flameless, smokeless clamshell wax melts to be used in a candle warmer.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Personalize your candles with your own labels, stickers, and liquid colours and dye chips in hues like luscious teal and mahogany, for instance.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Discover different fragrances, like those reminiscent of your favourite baked goods or popular cologne scents, as well as all-natural essential oils, like anise seed and bergamot. Create product lines for different seasons, featuring fruits and florals for summertime, or pumpkin-scented ones for a fall favourite. For the holidays, think gingerbread, evergreen, and candy-cane scents.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">.espaceSponsor {\n width: 90%;\n display: table;\n margin: 20px 0;\n padding: 25px 0px 20px 0px;\n border-bottom: 1px solid #666;\n border-top: 1px solid #666;\n}\n.espaceSponsor p {\n color: black !important;\n font-size: 13px;\n line-height: 1.3;\n}\n.espaceSponsor a {\n color: black !important;\n text-decoration: none !important;\n}\n.espace_logo {\n display: table-cell;\n width: 33.33%;\n padding-right: 25px;\n vertical-align: middle;\n}\n.espace_logo img {\n width: 100% !important;\n}\n.espaceInfo {\n display: table-cell;\n vertical-align: middle;\n text-align: left;\n}\n.sous_titre {\n font-family: 'DharmaGothicE', 'Barlow';\n font-weight: 500;\n font-style: normal;\n font-size: 16pt;\n line-height: 1;\n text-transform: uppercase;\n color: #666;\n}\n.titre {\n font-family: 'DharmaGothicE', 'Barlow';\n font-weight: 700;\n font-style: normal;\n font-size: 36pt;\n line-height: 1;\n text-transform: uppercase;\n}\n@media (max-width: 40em) {\n .espaceSponsor,\n .espaceInfo,\n .espace_logo {\n display: block;\n width: 100%;\n }\n .espaceSponsor {\n padding: 0px;\n }\n .espace_logo {\n max-width: 250px;\n margin: auto;\n padding-right: 0px;\n padding-bottom: 10px;\n }\n .espaceInfo {\n text-align: center;\n }\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"espaceSponsor qub-generateur-wrapper\" data-version=\"20220603\">\n<p> <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"espace_logo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/villagecraftandcandle.com\/fr?utm_source=canadianliving&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=advertorial\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/m1.quebecormedia.com\/emp\/jdx-prod-images\/photo\/497c46a5-3f76-4dc4-8410-5d3fcdb4ca03_VCC-LOGOBLACK.png\"> <\/a><\/div>\n\n<p>Whether you are making candles, bath or other body products, we have all the scents you need.
