Candles You Can Make

Here you can learn how to make candles. But before you do, here’s a little information about candles. Candles that we make take a lot of hard work. I only make them once or twice a year. Most candles are made out of tallow, wax, and wicks. Some are made of beeswax. I make about five candles at a time, which means that I tie about five on a stick and dip them into the tallow and wax. By using berries, I can make them different colors.
