Top 10 Candlemaking Sites

In researching the top candle making websites, I took into account search engine rankings and traffic stats (but not slavishly). Also whether the projects contain photographs. If you're anything like me, you don't just want to read reams of text when you learn how to make your own candles. You want to see pictures and illustrations too!

These are all busy, established sites. But in the end my choices were subjective. I liked these sites and believe they're the ones that will give you the best value. The expert candle makers on these sites give you their stupendously valuable information for FREE!
