I think everyone enjoys the soft glow of candlelight.  If you've made the candle yourself, the gentle light seems even more pleasant. When you take up the craft of candle making you can enjoy this pleasure as often as you'd like.

Making candles is a great hobby for a lot of reasons.  Few other hobbies are as accessible. You can start out with a very simple equipment. Beginners can make great candles right away yet there are advanced techniques that they can grow into.

Another benefit of the hobby is at the final product is so useful and enjoyable.  Not only do you get to enjoy the process of making the candles and enjoy their beauty, you can light them to make any occasion special.

You can make your first candle without even having to melt wax. A straightforward starter project uses sheets of beeswax that are soft enough to roll around a wick.

Another good project for beginners is to make a container candle. A container candle is one where the candle is formed by pouring melted wax into a suitable container with a wick in place.

Making a candle this way eliminates working with and removing molds. The main thing to be aware of in making a container candle is to never use a flammable container or one that might crack under exposure to the heat of a candle flame. In general, metal and heat resistant glass containers work well.
