Making candles is quite simple. When creating candles, the process itself does not actually require much thought rather, it is the source of the materials that does.

- Granulated wax
Granulated wax is frequently used in crafting due to its simplicity. It is not essential to melt the wax. You can simply pour granulated wax into a container and install a wick because it is manufactured from paraffin with a 1400 melt point that has been shaped into tiny beads.
- Gel candle wax
Gel candle wax, which imitates gelatine’s translucent properties, is not actually wax at all. Mineral oil and a polymer resin are used as an alternative. You can construct container candles that you can look through and inside by using gel candle wax and a clear glass container! Make embedded-object gel candles by putting decorative, non-flammable objects inside the gel for more interesting results.
Not all waxes can be utilised to create all sorts of candles, each type of wax has unique advantages.
