1.A peony candle on a stalk
It is the epitome of pure tenderness. Femininity itself was frozen in them. Imagine petals that seem so alive and transparent that it's scary to touch them with your hand. This is jewelry work with wax, where every curve conveys the sophistication and subtle beauty of nature. Such a candle brings the atmosphere of a blooming garden into the house, even if it is January outside.
Thanks to the use of wax paper and time-tested techniques, the creation of a single peony candle is much faster.
The creation of any flower candle is a step-by-step process:
The first stage: making wax paper sheets - 10 minutes
The second stage: cutting the petals, giving them relief and tinting - 20 minutes
The third stage: the creation of flower elements: pistil, stamen, stem, their tinting - 10 minutes
The fourth stage: candle assembly and packaging - 20 minutes

But my assistants and I never make one flower, but we make a batch of at least 10 peony candles at once - this is much more convenient and allows us to immediately prepare a collection in 4 days.
Therefore, making a batch of candles takes:
The first stage: production of wax paper sheets - about 2 hours
The second stage: cutting the petals, giving them relief and tinting - about 4 hours
The third stage: the creation of flower elements: pistil, stamen, stem, their tinting - about 2 hours
The fourth stage: candle assembly and packaging - about 4 hours
This is 1.5-2 days, but taking into account the solution of other work tasks in parallel, it will take about 3 days of quiet work without racing to produce a batch of 10 pieces. The price of a peony candle on a stalk is $30, which is $300 the price of the entire lot.
It takes 3 days to create not only peony candles, but also all the larger flower candles, such as roses, dahlias, amaryllis, hyacinths, etc..
But if you make simpler flowers, for example, dandelions, then in 4 days you can create 21 candles: 7 sets of 3 pieces each with candlesticks - the price is $27 per set - $189 for the entire batch.
A total of almost $489 in 8 days on flower candles alone.

2. The next candles that we will consider are candlesticks.
These candles are an ode to natural perfection: deep "cracks", shimmering wax crystals imitating amethyst, malachite, and subtle color transitions. Each such candle is unique. This is a treasure that is born in the hands of a craftsman to become the center of attraction in your interior.
These candles are already a more complicated level and they also have their own stages of creation, consider!
The first stage: coloring the wax, adding fragrance and creating a stone base
The second stage: coloring gel wax and cutting it into crystals
The third stage: inlay of the stone base with crystals
It takes 40-50 minutes to create one such geode candle. In about 4 days, it is realistic to create 25 candles at a price of $21,5 each. That's $537,5 for the entire batch.

A lot or a little?
It may seem that 10 candles is not so much, but the product is expensive, because it is handmade, which is always appreciated.
In fact, if we make 10 peony candles, 7 sets of dandelions (21 candles) and 25 geode candles in a month, then in 16 working days we will receive $1021,02 of revenue and 38 units of products.
This is already a huge range that you can work with: go to exhibitions, fairs, show online availability, exhibit on all kinds of services, on social networks, advertise, conduct cool shoots, show the creation process in all its glory, because it's cool and attracts attention.

Consider the cost
In fact, a huge advantage of such candles is that the weight of the flower is low, so the wax consumption is quite low. And, despite the fact that the wax itself is expensive, the cost of the product is low, and the margin (the difference between the proceeds from the sale of the product and its cost) is high.
And this is exactly what the good earnings of candle makers consist of.
Yes, we invest a lot of our time and effort, but this is offset by the low cost of candles, we do not spend a lot of materials on their creation. And there is such a balance here.

Consider the cost of a peony in a bud
The average weight of the bud is 50 grams, the cost of a kilogram of wax is $24.
Cost calculation
24$ / 1000g = 0,024 $/1g
0,024 $ * 50 gr. = 1,2$ / 50 gr. wax
+ wick 0,041$, dyes 0,14$, pastel tinting 0,14$.
In a simplified version, the cost of one peony candle in a bud is 1,521$.
If you rent a room, then the price of the candle should include rent, electricity bills, etc.
Packaging should also be included in the cost.
The cost of packaging for a bud candle is 1,51$. This is branded packaging, and I always include it in the cost calculation. You also need a branded feed. Its cost is 0,27$. A total of 1,78$ per package.
+ I put the instructions for using the candle and a business card for 0,14$ + paper in silence for 0,068$.
Let's sum up all the costs:
1,521+1,78+0,14+0,068=3,509$ - the cost of the 1st candle in the bud.
Next, we make a margin of at least 3.5 times.
I multiply by 5.9, that is, I actually increase the cost by 6 times.
3,509 * 5.9 = 21$. This is the retail value of the candle, which includes the cost of labor and the mark-up for the brand.
That is, you invest a unit of costs, and you get 6 times more!

Why candle making?
1. Environmental friendliness.
We no longer use technical paraffin wax. It has been replaced by natural soy, palm, coconut wax and many others. They are eco-friendly, burn for a long time and perfectly convey flavors. But the main thing is the form. The candle is not just straight, now it is a real piece of art, an art object.
2. Style and fashion.
Candles are more than a thing. It's a lifestyle. Today, a candle is about the aesthetics of the moment, it's the comfort when there's a snowstorm outside and a wooden wick crackles at home, it's the beauty that makes you slow down and just watch the flame dance, it's the warmth that you give yourself after a long day. The candle has become a fashionable detail, an accessory that dictates the atmosphere of the house. She has grown into our rhythm of life and, it seems, will never go out of fashion. Because a person's need for warmth, beauty and a small personal miracle is something that remains unchanged at all times.
3.Ideal for women.
Today, the candle master has a large number of skills from different fields and professions: florist, chemist, designer, perfumer, sculptural sculptor, artist. There are so many niches and spheres intersecting in modern candle making that it puts candle making at the top of the most sought-after hobbies and professions for women and beyond.
I'd like to introduce myself, my name is Natalia. I've been making candles for two years now.
And the only thing I regret is: Why didn’t I go into candles earlier?
-
In this niche, I found an outlet, pleasure, beauty and aesthetics, and even my main source of income. - Candlemaking inspires me. I invented and patented my own wax paper making technique, wrote and published a book about flower candles, and launched the Big Flower Course, which now includes over 43 flowers and six of all existing flower candle making techniques. I can be proud of this, and you will gain knowledge whose uniqueness is documented.
- Candle making for me is not just a hobby, it's a life and a constant study. I am proud that I was able to take this craft to a new level. My Big course "Interior Candles" has become a real breakthrough in the industry: I have discovered unique techniques to the world that previously seemed impossible. My geode candles and snow-covered roses caused a real sensation in the professional community. I saw how this idea ignited hundreds of craftsmen across the country, inspiring them to try their hand.
And then I launched the Creative Club, where I teach you how to advance in your business, run social networks so that they work for you all the time, and integrate neural networks into your work for planning and creating content.
I couldn't even dream of it! And that's all in 2 years. It's just love! I am sure that discoveries and achievements in the field of candle making are waiting for you too, the main thing is to start!
My creative journey began 8 years ago with epoxy resin, but wax and candles have literally turned my life around, and if you want a change in your life, I recommend candle making.
By the way, you can always contact me via telegram to talk or ask for advice.
Everyone should know this!
THERE ARE PRACTICALLY NO COURSES LIKE MINE!
THERE ARE PRACTICALLY NO COURSES LIKE MINE!
Let's take a look at the difference between my candles and regular candles from chain stores.
Scroll the table to the right.
Characteristics
Candles from chain stores:
Handmade candles:
1. Materials
100% paraffin. When burned, paraffin can release toxic substances and volatile organic compounds into the air, including known carcinogens such as alkenes, acetone, and benzene.
Natural wax is environmentally friendly and safe.
2. Design
Stamped, all candles are carbon copies. Simple, ordinary, template design.
Handcrafted pieces are all about aesthetics and uniqueness. Each artisan pours their heart and soul into their creations, creating with love. Meticulously crafted details, realistic snow-covered effects, and complex compositions.
3. Aroma
Sharp, synthetic.
Natural, subtle, unobtrusive.
4. Burning time
Usually faster, may smoke or leave a carbon deposit.
It often burns longer due to the use of natural materials, as well as combinations with other container waxes, which burn several times longer, from 20 hours.
5.Emotional value
A functional object that does not carry any particular emotional load.
You can't find candles like these everywhere. They can only be ordered from handcrafted candle makers. They possess a special energy and create a unique atmosphere. They're not just decorative items, but a gift made with love, with every detail meticulously crafted. Each candle is unique and unlike any other.

Another frequently asked question is whether the candle business is financially profitable?
Yes! Candle business is profitable.
Firstly, because new and interesting things are always in demand.
Secondly, it is beautiful, handmade work is always appreciated.
Third, let's look at the numbers.
If we summarize the different candles, then on average the cost of a candle takes from 10 to 20%. The rest goes to the markup. Thus, it is possible to earn from 500₽ to 1,500₽ on each candle. These candles are exclusive, not stamped, so their cost starts from 900₽ to 2500₽.
During the courses, we also analyze the cost of candles, what to save on, how to speed up manufacturing processes, and much more.

What to do if you're afraid to start? Are you afraid to take on a new candle business?
I've created 5 commandments for a successful candle florist that always help me:
- Self acceptanceI embrace my desire to create beauty and give myself the time and space to grow without stress, in silence, just to create for myself.
- Awaken yourselfAll good artists are ordinary women and they didn't create masterpieces right away; it takes time, which means I can awaken myself too.
- Create beautyThe creative process is beautiful in itself, so I have nothing to lose if I start, on the contrary, what if I do something that is immediately beautiful and can be sold, so I’ll just start with one petal.
- Create for yourselfIf my hands are shaking and I can't attach the petal, it means I'm very sensitive, I need time and I'll try again later and create for myself.
- Start smallCandle making can be a great hobby, I don't have to sell, make to order and create a business right away, I can come to everything gradually, I'll start small.
But what if you suddenly want more than just "for yourself"? Is it possible to build a business around winter candles, and how?
Yes, it's possible. I can share some information on what you need to consider to get the process started:
1. The range of candles. The course program allows you to create an endless range of different candles. Combine different textures and flavors to create exclusive products. Course technicians cover all the needs of the market during the most profitable period. You will be able to build a complete collection.

Так. например, свечи-цветы будут актуальны с апреля по ноябрь, а в интерьерных свечах всегда нужно отслеживать тенденции и актуальность на рынке. Это важно и это нужно учитывать, чтобы уменьшить риски порчи изделий при доставке и спрос покупателей.
4. Поиск клиентов. Точек поиска клиентов должно быть много. Здесь можно выделить: соцсети, а также авито как онлайн продажи, маркеты и ярмарки как офлайн продажи, сотрудничество с салонами цветов, салонами красоты и тп., а также «сарафанное радио».

3. Seasonality. You need to take into account holidays, weather, and trends.

This is important and must be taken into account in order to reduce the risks of product damage during delivery and customer demand.
4. Customer search. There should be many customer search points. Here we can highlight: social networks, as well as avito as online sales, markets and fairs as offline sales, cooperation with flower salons, beauty salons, etc., as well as word of mouth.
