they dont sell candle wicks at a candle store.

and its not just a candle store, its a candle & accessory store.

do any of you crafty people out there know how i can make a wick.  my rainy day project of candle making has been thwarted.

They sell them at Michael's if you still want to buy one. I've never made a wick before but I googled it and found this:

Make your own wicks

* Cut thick cotton string about three inches longer than your mold will require.
* When your wax is melted, dip cotton string in wax.
* Hang your wicks from a clothesline or place them on waxed paper, being sure to lay them out in a straight line so you'll have nice straight wicks when you need them later.
* Scent your wicks: If you are making your own wicks, you have the option of scenting the wicks rather than the candles. Before dipping wicks in wax, soak the wicks in a fragrance or perfume
