I am having a go at candles this year and they are very easy and cheap to make yourself.  It's also not too time consuming and amazingly satisfying x

I always make candles for my own use it is fairly simple just like cooking.

Sites like Folksy and Etsy have UK sellers on making candles etc

If you make candles to sell at craft markets are there any rules you should follow like H&S notices???
Thanks

As far as I know the regulations for candles are far less strict than body products etc
A candle warning label is about all that is required I think.
