How many times did you ask yourself this question?

Here is a popular question I found recently on The Artful Crafter site:


I enjoy making crafts and would like to do so as a business in the future. I make things for my friends all the time, but I never charge them any money. I was looking into renting a booth to sell from in my town, but it all seems so overwhelming.
What should I do?

How many times did you ask yourself the same question?

Well, it really comes down to market research and getting feedback from friends and family. Starting with a small client circle of friends can give you the experience and lead the way to a bigger business.

Aren't they just amazing! I also love the idea of embedded shells inside them.

If you are out to try making gel candles, try using Brighter Scents' How to Make Gel Candles page. It is very detailed and covers all you need to know. Pay special attention to the suggestions on how to prevent bubbles - that is the biggest problem in gel candles.

The secret is to pour slowly and mix slowly, but there are more suggestions on how to eliminate bubbles after they appeared.

Check it out.
