I am getting started with candle making and wanting to know of some suggestion on the best places to buy supplies like wax, wicks, scents, and jars.

So… first off, not to discourage you, but candle making can be pretty expensive to do, especially if you ever plan on turning it into a business. It requires a lot of testing, because a wick that works in one fragrance, and has good throw, might not have any throw to it on another fragrance, so you might have to wick up. Basically you have to test every scent with multiple different options to find what is best. Another is if you start buying larger amounts of wax, the shipping costs are astronomical. A good place I recommend is Aztec Candle. Quite often the offer 10 1oz bottles of fragrances for $10, so you can try some different ones and see what you like best, without spending a lot of money. Then buy larger amounts of the ones you like
