If you get a very big flame, try to move it to a remote location (in the driveway without any cars or flammable objects nearby) and spray with a high-power water hose. Remember to stay away from it when you spray it, it reacts like an oil fire (pouring water on it makes it produce a huge fireball).

I know from personal experience that making candles is messy, time consuming and when you take out all of your time spent making them, you actually loose money :( I do not make my own anymore. Definitely soy/veg blends are better than parrafin. If you may be interested in making money, without all of the work and mess in your own home, I encourage you to check out my website www.simplythebestcandles.biz. The candles are top-quality and the business is awesome. Have you considered being a distributor or consultant for candle companies that already have the product…that you could just sell?

Also if you are looking for benefits you must be full time and usually 2nd's are only part time. If you are there for years make sure to track your raises they usually screw people on that. I thought it was an extremely easy job but other employees were not so helpful. Nor was corporate It really depends it can range from 8.50 to 11.

Expect to earn between $7.65 and $8.00 per hour if you have no previous retail experience. If you have experience, they may be willing to give you a little more. Finally, if you are entering a management role, you can earn even more. They typically start at or a little about minimum wage (which is $7.65 in Connecticut).

A friend of mine does very well at various craft fairs. She does several of them a year on weekends. Bring some of your things to work and have them setting around your work area. When people ask you can say you do it as a hobby and sell at craft fairs. Sometimes they will buy an item or two. Don't do this if you are a sales clerk in a shop! Good luck.
