I grow some of my own herbs. Its really nice to have them on hand whenever you need them. I have also made my own wands for myself and my fiance and sister.

You have to boil whatever leaves or seeds or petals of the plant you want to create an oil of. Once the leaves/seeds/petals have dissolved, boil down the fragrant water until it becomes think. Add a small amount of vegetable oil and continue boiling and adding oil until it becomes smooth.

That is the way that I make oil.

sweatdrop Sorry. I posted the complicated way for making oils. An easier way:

Step 1) Boil water
Step 2) crush dried herb/flower that you want to make into an oil
Step 3) Add liberal amounts of powdered herb/flower to boiling water
Step 4) Boil down util yuo can smell whatever you used strongly and can taste it thoroughly for non-poisonous substances.
I'm going to try that!! Can't wait!...Maybe even try thyme? Thyme oil sounds so strange lol. But I can make rose oil (the stuff I bought is seriously strong o_o) and lavendar oil. I don't think I have anything else I want to make into oil..

As for hand-made supplies...
I've made my wand, pentacle, bags to carry things for each Sabbat, and I know how to make a few other things, but haven't yet.
I might make my own runes...
I could make my own candles by rolling sheets of beeswax around a wick.
I think I'll semi-make my athame by carving something symbolic into the handle, once I find the right one.
The rest is cleansed things I got at some thrift shops...

I'm LOVE growing herbs too, my personal favorite is the true Mints, there is so many diffrent types! I want to try and make a herbal pack for a friend. Umm, question, does anyone know the magical qualities of the sunflower or it's oil? I'm growing a bunch of them this year. I wonder if I could make a sunflower candle...

I make my own:

Incense (Only tried this once- haven't burned it yet)
Runes

I grow:

Herbs
Flowers

But if it is a worry about price- and you are also not looking for rare things- you can find most at a dollar store or thrift shop.

That is where most of my candles, candle holders, and even these cool purple glass things I use to hold each element when I perform circles.

I use to make my own candles, I am the only one in my family that can withstand hot wax poured on me in anyway...as well as fire.

I also make my own oils, my own medicine sometimes and hair supplies.

I made my own wand by finding a stick that had a good feeling and carving it with symbols. . .I was really pleased with the result.

My parents wont take me to any craft stores, they flipped out when they found my altar. So i have to make ALL of my tools.

SAD...i'm sorry, sometimes parents just dont' understand.

so what have you made, when you say everything does that mean that you made your own knife and stuff like that too. I've always wanted to make my own knife, I have directions but i'm too chicken to do it just in case it fails or i catch something on fire.
