While going through my candle-making kit (awesome Christmas present from my husband 2 years ago), the only downside i found was the metal molds. When I started making candles years ago, instead of using metal molds, I made my own out of clay. That makes every candle unique, giving you almost endless possibilities.
Also, for dying the paraffin, instead of buying blocks of dyes, I would use crayons. Yep… the Crayola ones work just fine. Unwrap them, break them in small pieces and drop them in the melted paraffin. Works just as the dyes, although you might need to make a few tests to get the right amount for the shade of color you’d like.
