You could have a lucrative business selling candles. People love to have their house smelling beautiful and fragrant.

There are so many options for the fragrant choice. People may want to have their candle make their house smell like flowers such as lilacs while others may want their home to smell like banana nut bread. Candles do come in these scents.

You could sell handmade soy candles. Soy candles cost a little more but they are “green” and do not have high burning flames as some candles may have.

For each season you could change the scents of candles you sell. Summer can be all coconut, beach smelling and linen fresh. Spring could be the smell of all new flowery fragrances. In winter use the cinnamon and apple fragrances along with pine and cranberry for the holidays. Fall scents could be pumpkin pie and apple cider.

Use different types of glass bottles and votives to pour your handmade candles in. Votive candles are very popular at this time. People even use votive candles in artwork that hangs on the wall. You may make other candles without any type of glass so people can display them on a plate surrounded by flat marbles to match their décor. You can add a simple ribbon to make the candle look even more elegant. You may also want to make tall candles for romantic dinner tables. Another type of candle is the floating candle. You can make hearts and stars that float in glass bowls. You may want to add beautiful glass bowls for sale on your website and into your business.

You can sell your handmade candles at craft fairs, holiday bazaars, school fund raisers, and even online including as a Candle of the Month gift.
