It seems that looking for supplies and goods online is one of the easiest things these days. But make sure you check the shipping costs and compare them to any local supplier you might have.

Easy Candle Making for Lazy People
...What I want now is lazy people's candles- I want to make candles that look pretty close to how I want them, and to be cheap and easy. Once you learn to make candles, it is impossible to be able to ever buy them again ($30 for a small scented pillar?!), so if you don't have the time to do it right- do it lazy.

How about this one:
What is it, you ask?
It is an Ice Candle. All those holes and cracks were made by using ice cubes. Now, that is original!
You can go through CraftBits' Guide to do it yourself. Don't forget to fill the ice tray after you finish :-)

Ever since I was a little girl I have just loved candles! I would spend ages just watching their lovely glow and taking in the aroma as they burned. I couldn't imagine life without them. Now, our own home is always beautifully decorated and scented with wonderful candles. While you can get many gorgeous looking unscented candles, I love to have scented candles burning. Smell is our most powerful sense in making us feel a certain way or taking us back in history to those special moments....
Scented Candles Make a House a Home!
This is a touching and beautiful item by Lisa Pirie talking about how candle scent reminds her of her childhood with her family. I myself find from time to time that all sorts of smell can bring back lost and forgotten memories.
I think balloon candles are a great idea! Who invented them? Especially if you are using different colors in the dipping process, or for the inside filling. But have you ever thought about keeping the balloon candle hollow and using it as a votive container or a hurricane shell?
Thanks to David Fisher you can now make balloon candles easily with the Candle And Soap Making - Balloon Candle Guide.
