if you use paraffin you need to put it in a container with the wick in the middle. you can get candle wax chips at craft departments that may have the hardener in them. secure the wick to the bottom of the mold, melt the chips, pour into mold, let it harden. getting out it the mold put it in freezer it should shrink a bit. makes it easier to get out.

You can find tons of great ideas for candle making on Pinterest. Or just take a trip to your local craft/hobby shop. They would be happy to help.
I'd start with the basics: wicks and melted wax. Add color and scents and deorations as you get better! Check out this site: https://www.thespruce.com/basic-candle-making-instructions-516753
