How to Make & Market Gel Candles That Sell Like Wildfire!

My first experience with gel candles was at an open-air market
where I spied beautiful miniature aquariums.

They were works of art -- with sand, seashells, glass fish and blue water…
only... "Hey, this isn't water!"

It was beautiful -- mysterious -- candle gel.

I was hooked. I bought that little treasure (shown at left)...

and when I lit it...

...I was even more intrigued as the candle light
danced within the gel and reflected off the shells.

Since that day I researched, studied and experimented...
trying to satisfy the questions that came to mind:

What is this stuff?
How is it made?
How do I color the gel?
What wicks do I use?
How is it scented?
What glassware can I use?
What items can I put in the candles?
How do I package the candles?
How do I price the candles?
How do I sell the candles?

These questions and more have resulted in months
of research, trial and error, review and redo.

Gel Candles are Fun, Easy & can be Lucrative

I have made and sold numerous candles since that
fateful day that I first saw them at the open-air market.
Their intriguing beauty dazzles and enhances any decor.

They are fun to make and a joy to own or to give as gifts:

  • Aquariums, Terrariums & Treasure Candles
  • Beer glasses and Cappuccino with Foam
  • Cola and Cocktails on the Rocks
  • Rainbows, Swirls, Sparklers and Neon
  • Fruit preserves & Holiday Themes
  • So many more

    It is so rewarding to see the joy in someone's eyes
    as the candle captures them and I know that they too
    have become hooked on their magical charm.

    At that very moment in time they have become
    a hooked and faithful customer.
    They want more and they want it now.

    And I know you're hooked too,
    or you wouldn't have read this far.

    If you've been wondering how to get started...

    Or have been frustrated trying to
    piece all the information together...

    If you'd rather spend your time
    making candles than sifting through data...

    You won't have to spend months
    accumulating, sifting and cataloging
    the information for your gel candle business.

    allowing you to concentrate on
    creating and selling beautiful Gel Candles.

    "I endorse only one book.. It's the how-to book penned by Lynn Thomas, The only person to write a sensible, safety conscious gelling book. IMHO it's the only book written with safety in mind. I've browsed some of the gel books at B&N and some of the stuff contained in them just flat out frightens me! ~Amy P. of RusticEscentuals.com

I happened to come across gel candles and instantly fell in love with them.

    For hundreds of years candles have been used for ceremony, romance, lighting and decoration.You see candles everywhere -- television, print advertising, movies, your home, your office... just about everywhere! Candles are given as gifts for the holidays, house warmings, parties, thank yous and celebrations.

    And there's opportunity in the candle arena to:

    Gel candles are the fastest growing candle and are growing in popularity as their intrigue and fascination becomes stronger.

    People like their 3D Effects, Sparkle, Brilliance, Design, and Beauty to enhance any décor or theme: golf, tennis, fishing, weddings, graduations, anniversaries, births... "Since buying your book I've had so much fun making candles,
    and you are right about them selling like Wildfire.
    I can't believe the response I have had, they sell themselves,
    if someone sees them.. they want to buy them." ~Linda Forslund

    Following guidelines of safety, embeds, scent and color, your only limitation is your imagination.

    The gel is a great medium for achieving 3D effects, and the gel is so forgiving:

    • Scent too strong? Re-melt the gel, adding additional gel for the new pour.
    • Too weak? Re-melt the gel adding additional scent, then re-pour.
    • Not happy with the shade? Candle too dark? Re-melt the gel, adding additional clear gel for the new pour.
    • Candle too light? Re-melt the gel adding additional color, then pour.
    • Design doesn’t look right? Pull out all the gel, separate from embeds, re-melt the gel, replace embeds, re-pour the gel.

    Re-melt, Re-scent, Re-color, Re-design, Re-pour.
    This artistic freedom puts the new Geller at ease. "...I have to tell you it was the best book I read with great
