Calling Graphic Artists...
I need some advice on an easy program to use to make labels for candles. I have no artist ability.

1. Your computer probably has one on it...
most come with very simple graphics programs, don't they?

3. Neither cheap nor easy
For what you're doing, I'd just download GIMP or, if you're on a windows box, use Microsoft Paint.

5. I'll second that...
...for what sounds like a simple project, the learning curve and financial investment on the other programs named is unnecessary. Gimp / MS Paint should suffice.

4. Do you have Microsoft Word?
There are templates for labels, even ones with nice borders, holiday and other themes, that can be found on the internet.

Start here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/
