Candle making is a bit like cooking in that the best results come from organisation before you start. 

The reason for that is once you start using the stove (in both cases) you want your other ingredients nearby and ready to use.

Candle making requires you to work with hot wax and because of this you don’t want to be leaving it unattended or reaching around for products or implements that you need. 

There basically are three areas that you need to have pre-prepared and they are:
 

1. your wax chopping and weighing area
2. your coloring and fragrances in your cooking area
3. your molds ready in your pouring area

If you have these three areas set up before you start you have a much better chance of few accidents.
