If you have more advanced skills, you can carve different designs in big blocks of candles. You can even make customized head busts with facial features – it might take more time, effort and materials, but you can also charge a bit higher for this kind of work.

For the minimalist, you can put candles in small shotglasses that one can distribute all over the house for an elegant design. Explore different containers and don’t be afraid to experiment!

5. Personalized candles. You can also offer different design “add-ons” that your customer can pick and choose and you can make upon request. Colors can vary depending on the choices of your dye.
