Is it feasible?

    You can buy food-grade paraffin wax for less than $10 a pound if you’re happy with plain, non-fancy candles. Wicks are a pennies each if you buy in bulk. Most craft stores would carry them.

    If you want scented candles, you can add essential oils to the melted wax.

    You might also want some type of mold release to make cleanup of your container easier.

    you need a mold, wicks, and wax

    it’s not hard or particularly dangerous, but good wax and wicks are a little expensive

    there’s a reason candles were luxury goods for much of human history
