Do you make your own candles?

When I was a child we visited Old Sydney Town on a school excursion. I loved seeing them make candles and bought some to take home.
I begged for a candle making kit and finally got one for my birthday. I enjoyed it for a while and now can honestly say, I have no idea whatever happened to my kit.
So yes, I have made candles and enjoyed it, but don't do it anymore.

Side note: I loved Old Sydney Town.

Belinda, I also visited Old Sydney Town, with my primary school class.

I have made beeswax candles before.. The type that come as a sheet and you simply put a wick in the middle and roll up.

I pondered doing a candle making class but keep forgetting about it.

No.

No I have never made my own candles, to me their use is to keep handy if a blackout occurs, other than that I have no interest in candles.

No. I have never tried candle making. I thought about doing a class on candle making a few times, but never got around to doing it. I went though a phase where i used scented candles all the time, but i dont tend to use them much these days.

No, I've never made my own candles, & I never use candles either.

I did once on a school holiday workshop as a kid. Always meant to have another go at it some time and make some scented ones. One of these days...

No. It's a nice idea, but I can't find the time!
