Canadian Candle Making Suppliers

by

Candle making can be a relaxing and rewarding hobby, but it can be frustrating to find the right supplies, especially when living in Canada. Many candle making suppliers are based in the United States, which can lead to high shipping costs and long delivery times. However, there are some great Canadian candle making suppliers out there that can make it easier to get the supplies you need.

To help out fellow Canadians, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best candle making suppliers in Canada. Whether you’re looking for wax, wicks, fragrances, or other supplies, these companies offer a wide range of options to suit your candle making needs.

Village Craft and Candle This is the place that I usually use because they’re the closest to me and they’re very friendly and helpful. Their fragrance oils are awesome! They often have some great clearance sales as well. I like grabbing 12 used votive molds for $10.00!

Canwax I have purchased a few candle-making supplies there and I must say I’m very impressed. It’s always here the next day which is a bonus! Their fragrances smell delicious and are reasonably priced compared to others. There’s a lot to choose from there. They offer a range of wax types, including soy, beeswax, and paraffin wax, as well as a variety of wicks and fragrances. They also have a range of candle-making kits, making it easy for beginners to get started.

Voyageur Soap and Candle One great option is Voyageur Soap and Candle, which is based in Surrey, British Columbia. They offer a wide variety of candle making supplies, including soy wax, beeswax, fragrance oils, and wicks, as well as a variety of molds and containers. They also provide a wealth of resources, including tutorials and tips for candle making.

New Direction Aromatics I just found this one and they have sales on several of their waxes.

Happy Canada Day!

Build a Paper City with Free Printables

My daughter’s school has project-based finals instead of tests in the spring, and in her geometry class last year the students constructed a scale model of a town complete with three-dimensional buildings. 

Of course building a paper town doesn’t have to include a geometry lesson (they also calculated the volume of their buildings) but it is a fun way to get kids to express their creativity by decorating the buildings and talking about the things they would want to include in their own town. 

Putting buildings together is a test of fine-motor skills, and if kids are working on a town together they’ll need to negotiate what goes where and why. 

Get started with the house printables from Kids Activities Blog. They’ve got a “plain” roof house and a “fancy” roof house to choose from. Just print, color, cut out and assemble. 

You might want more than just houses in your little town, though, so I went hunting for some more printable templates you can use to make different kinds of buildings. 

Brother has printable skyscrapers, cars, people, trees and lights (shown above) that are meant to be printed in color buy you can do them in black and white so kids can color them in if you want.

Printablee has another colorized set of paper buildings including different kinds of houses and something that maybe looks like a church or school. 

If you’re willing and bale to pay for printables to use in your paper town, there are lots of great ones available on Etsy. Ludlow Prints has a collection with a school, grocery store, bakery and other buildings, while Paper Fun By Yumi includes things like a hospital, fire department and police station (essential if you’ve done a community helpers unit!). 

Tiger Bee Learning has a printable set with 20 different buildings, including a bank, library, museum and zoo to name a few, as well as a blank template for kids to design their own buildings. Once you have the basics of making a piece of paper into a 3D building down, kids are sure to want to make their own buildings to add to the town. 

Older kids can also write about why they picked the buildings they did, and littler kids will have fun building their town over and over again.
