Trying out KeraSnow Candle Wax Granules as wax melts and what's it look like in a candle container.
Переглядів 4 тис.Рік тому
Hi In this video, I try out the new self melting KeraSnow Candle Wax Granules. This wax doesn't require any melting like normal soy, coconut, rapeseed or paraffin wax. This is a paraffin wax so it doesn't need to be left to cure. All you do is simple stick your appropriate wick into your candle container and pour the wax in after and that's it! If you want to add fragrance, you put your wax int...

Hi 👋 As a lot of you loved my little wax heart boxes, I thought I'd show you another way I package some of my wax melts. I use little packets that I think are used for things like sweets and tie a matching ribbon around the top. These are packets I've had for a while, but if you can try and use eco-friendly ones. Simple but cute! I also show you how my failed wax melts are a couple of weeks on ...

Add dye to your melts without the need to mix it into your wax for this pretty marbling effect
Переглядів 8 тис.2 роки тому
In this video I add liquid candle dye straight into the mould instead of mixing with the soy wax. One or two drops is all you need in the mould and then just pour in your melted fragranced wax as normal. This gives your wax melts a lovely marbled effect without the need to mix the dye into your wax. This is the first time I've tried this method and the result is great. www.etsy.com/shop/Freckle...

    How do you put the wick in those little MM candles? I thought the wick was supposed to go in first and then they would be in the candle when you pop them out of the mold. I have cactus candle molds. I put the wick in with a little wax or a wick holder and then pour the colored wax into the mold. Does this sound right? I have a small 4 cups pouring cup and wax melter that is electric.

    • @freckleface1
      @freckleface1 Рік тому

      These are wax melts and are used in a wax melter. They don't require wicks. Wax melts are placed in the top of a wax warmer/melter and a tea light candle is lit underneath which melts the MM wax melt to release the fragrance. I hope this helps 😊

      It sounds like frosting. It is a natural effect you get from vegetable wax, especially soy wax. It won't affect the candle when you burn it. Keeping a steady warm temperature of the room whilst setting and curing your candles may help. It's lovely to have coloured candles, but keeping them the natural colour of the wax helps disguise frosting if you keep finding it a problem and dont like the look of it. I hope this helps 😊
