Ribbed candles are so aestetically pleasing! I like to use those paired in uneven numbers. Use your imagination, they also look great with one ribbed and the rest smooth candles.

This is the wax I started with and can honestly say people love it. The candle maker has a few hair pulling moments but all in all its a great wax and highly used by many candle makers. It is a softer wax meant for containers.

Love this wax so much!! I use this for wax melts, candle embeds and pillar candles. It is a parasoy wax which is a harder wax making it ideal for pillar candles and wax melts. It is easy to work with and gives your creation a great heat throw.
