Vagabond House is American designed tableware that uses only the highest quality materials. Sitting handsomely off the table or mantle reflecting the warm glow of the candle light, these are stunning. Painstakingly, recreated from sterling antique candelabra found in a European hunting museum, a pair of these will truly create a feel of rustic elegance. All Vagabond House antler products are made from authentic naturally shed stag antler. These pieces age well with use, getting richer in color and gaining a smooth texture. However hand washing is required, as horn cannot withstand the intense heat of dishwashers. We also recommend conditioning the handle with Lemon oil occasionally. Vagabond pewter will tarnish very slowly and requires little maintenance. To clean your pewter after use, hand wash in warm water using liquid dish soap. Dry the pewter completely in order to prevent the water droplets from spotting the pewter. If you wish to polish your pewter, most metal polishes can be used. Because pewter is a soft metal, mildly abrasive metal polishing creams can buff out scratches and bring luster back to a frequently used piece.

There are simple kits u can buy in craft stores. Get those & GROW from there.
You can do this as simply as getting a large chunk of wax from a craft store, and melting it in a double boiler. You can use a pot, or can, but be careful the wax doesn’t catch fire if you do. Add Color or essential oil fragrances if you wish.
From there you can either pour the melted wax into a mold which can be as simple as a toilet paper tube with the one end sealed (make sure its sealed well). If you do that, tie a wick, which can be made of butcher’s twine, or cotton yarn (don;t use artificial yarns as they will melt, burn and stink) to a penny, or other mildly heavy object like a small rock. Tie the other end of the wick to a pencil, or other such long object, and put the wick into the tube, making sure the bottom end is in the middle, and then pour in the wax. Center the wick in the wax, and lay the pencil across the top of the tube., then let the whole thing cool and harden. After it does (say overnight to be safe) peel off the tube.
You can also take the wick, again tied or otherwise attached to a small heavy object, and make dipped candles. To do this, dip the wick into the wax, pull it out over the wax, and let the wax harden a bit before dipping it again. This is how tapers were made before modern mass production.
You can also make candles with beeswax, but thats more expensive than regular wax.
At a minimum wax and wick and an old pot or all metal can to heat the wax in. If you;re doing a poured candle a container (glass etc) to mold the candle in. There’s even a really cool way to “mold” a candle without an actual mold using just a big container of sand. If you are doing a dipped candle you would also need a place to let it dry.
