Well hello!! Welcome ! I’ve heard that getting candle supplies outside the US can be hard. Cierra candles does ship some fragrances internationally they have a whole section. You should check them out!
your candles are amazing as is your story of how you got started. I love your brand name and your candles show what great style and creativity you have. Thank you for taking time to make these videos they are truly inspirational.
Thanks for clarifying, lots of people make it seem like you have to be Einstein to be able to make candles, blessings to you and again thank you, thank you thank you thank.
You are so welcome! People like to make it harder than it has to be, searching for the “perfect “ formula. If it smells good, and burns well it’s a winner. Period.
You are very welcome! Check out my last video towards the end I share candles from one of my clients who is an artist/sculptor and she has turned her art into candles. Her website is www.sonniandsense.com
I love your candles. Thank you for sharing your kraft. I’m in the process of starting my own small business and watching these types of videos really help.
I love your marble technique, I'm just starting and you have given me something new to love 💕 I would love to learn more. Hope to see more of your videos. God Bless you 🙏
THank you! I have a video on how to make my Strawberries and whipped cream candle being edited now. It includes a brief explanation on marbling. A full video will come in March...well that the plan. :)
Whenever I need help with my candles, I find myself coming across your account. I wanted to start making candles but I wasn't quite sure where to start until I ran across your video when you was showing us the warehouse where you keep your product and step to step on how to make candles. You video has been my inspiration. So during this candle making process, you are my inspiration.
Thanks for the knowledge and inspiration to try to make my own candles instead of sending all this money on all these expensive brands. I will be following you now thanks!
Just last week I had an inspiration to start something magical and candle making came to my mind. I have been watching several videos on candle making and I can say you made it seems easy, I'd like to give it a shot after am able to get the materials especially the essential oil, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us ❤️❤️
Yes I find that to be the hardest part about making candles. It's why I kind of stopped for a while. I feel stuck on the calculations on how much fragrance to add to the wax. I can never seem to get it right. 😔
Amazing video tysm!!! I'm trying to start my own small business selling wax melts I practiced today making a couple candles so I can test the scent and so on and I was melting the wax adding the dye then scent right away without realizing I needed to have my wax at a certain temperature before adding the fragrance LOL so now I have two giant candles that turned out beautifully but when I burn them there's no scent 😢. Definitely a new sub here ❤❤❤❤❤
You are welcome!! And listen that mistake will make it so it never happens again. 😝 but I’m sure it will be an amazing candle… I know I’m late but did you get it to work!?
That amount is Amazing the price is that you've made in a year is unbelievable where were you selling them at congratulations baby I'm wishing you much success
Hey!!! I do offer mentorship inside my business collective. Lots of great information and a supportive community! You can get more information here! www.blksunflowerbusinesscollective.com
If you are making multiple scents at a time, how do you clean your oil container after each scent? Does the scent stay or do you use different wax containers?
Thank you for this video, I just came across your channel and I think it’s a God send because I have been thinking about starting a candle business. Do you mind letting me know where you buy your fragrances, I want to try different places. Thank you in advance
Same here, I am a sahm trying to start a at home business and give me a great hobby to do at the house and make money for my family as well but mostly because I love candles
I absolutely LOVE your story!!! Your talent at making candles and your drive is ADMIRING!!! I do have a question for you! I sell crystals and have struggled to find packaging up to my standards. Would you please tell me where you get your labels and boxes and what other suggestions do you have?
Hi. I love your video ! question how much scented oil do you put in ?? I have be trying to make candles for a few weeks now im just learn to get everything from candle science
I have a question I want to start a candle business but I would love to hear your prices so I can get a good estimate of what I should sell them for and also how can I sell them online like makey own line/website ❤❤
I would love to try one of your candles . Also my only headache is finding the wick size how do you find yours or do you use the guides from other sites?
I’ve always used Eco Wicks and a coconut soy blend, so I’m used to working with it. Lone start candle supply has a great wick guide in their university! Just go to their page it’s free!
My biggest issue has been choosing the right wick 😢. That black soot ball forms. I’ve tried wooden wicks and they look and sound pretty but I prefer regular cotton wicks. It’s actually been discouraging because I’ve tried multiple different types. What is your recommendation?
That ball is called mushrooming. It’s happens with most wicks to some extent. if it’s bad your wick might be sized too large and you need to wick down. Lx wicks are know to be self trimming. I’ve never used them so I can’t speak from experience.
Thank you for the video you are an inspiration. I was wondering if you would suggest a good wick for my 10oz candles I find that the ECO 6 is not working it seems too hot , is there a particular one that you suggest so that I get a good HT?
I have a questions in doing a candle w a message w beads /I know I have to pour it up to a limit and then once it gets dry I need to pour other half my question is do I use the same wax and do I put fragrance on both
I have a few questions. 1. do you use SCX wax? 2. you say in the video that the wax should be heated to 190 degrees and at 185 degrees you can add the fragrance oil. However, many manufacturers say that you should heat the wax to 150 degrees and add the fragrance oil at 140 degrees. Allegedly, the fragrance molecules then break down because otherwise it gets too hot. This is the case with SCX wax, for example. But with the 464 wax, the temperatures are not that high either. Could you please write something about this, because I would like to understand it and I am sure that you know what you are doing :-) I would really appreciate an answer.
Thank you for your questions. I have the details of the exact wax and other materials I use in the description. For this particular wax , 454 I have always heated it to 190, and just make sure to pour in the fragrance before it reaches below 185. the temp can drop quickly depending on your environment, and you don't want to miss that window. (I tend to find something to distract me) Most of the waxes I've used need to be heated higher for the wax and fragrance to combine, 150 is way to low for this wax. I've learned to use what I read as a guide, and tweak based upon other things I've learned and trial and error. My ways may not always be what everyone else is doing, but they are what work for me. I'm never afraid to question the norm, or ask questions like you did. This is how we grow! Thanks again.
I have one more question. Do you allow this wax the full 14 day cure time before conducting a burn test and shipping to customers ? Or are you a rebel and break that rule?
Great question. I wouldn’t call it being a rebel 😝 but I always like to test theories myself, and when I couldn’t make candles fast enough to keep up with the orders, one day I tested my candle 24hrs after making and it was great. Since this i never wait 14 days. And no complaints. ☺️
Great video, I make wax melts, I see in the description you stated to use a certain kind of wax, I typically use pillar wax, any suggestions for using this wax as far as amount of fragrance oil and I guess using pillar wax versus your recipe??
This wax would be too soft for a pillar candle. Typically a soy wax blend with paraffin would be used. Or even a beeswax. I heard Candle Science has an Eco Soya Pillar wax that is good. As for the fragrance oil, the measurement is about the same.
Hi I have a question if you could answer please. I had a few products in a box that I was saving to start a project of candle making just for myself and family, add not got round to doing it and completely forgot about the box anyway the other day I got it out I'm realised that some oil I believe it was sheer butter or coconut oil that I've had in the same box, anyway I feel that some have the oil is on the wax beads as I can feel the oil on them it's not it's not on all the beads but will I still be able to use the beads or can I not make or can I not use the wax now, any advice would be great thank you.
It looks like a couple of your wicks are lopsided and leaning over in the wax - while not noticeable once set, doesn't this affect your burn? Perhaps it was only this pour, but this kind of oversight could leave other makers who are just starting out, with the impression that that's an acceptable practice.
I came across your Uplfift videos just yesterday and my brain started working overtime. Candle business is not something I looked at before, but my interest is now piqued. Unfortunately, I reside in the Caribbean so ordering items from abroad will be costly and we don't have fullfillment companies here so that would limit exports. But it is something to look into after seeing you and getting such positive vibes from your energy.
I’m going to try this wax cause soy 10 n coconut apricot I can’t get no HT and I’m following all the directions smh. Trying this will let u know. But I’m using 9oz straight sided jars. Wish me luck. Cause I’m about to give up.
Yes!! Please let me know how this works for you!! And that apricot wax is expensive 😅 my motto if it smells good it will sell. No fancy wax needed! You got this!!
I just want to say thank you 🥰 it's because of you I starting my Candles Business. Many Blessings to you 🥰
Thank GOD for sending someone to help us. Glory be to GOD!!!
Where do you get the fragrance from?

Glad it was helpful!
pouring fragrance directly from the bottle in the wax is bold lol like what if you go to much? loved the video btw
I’m a rebel! lol But foreal, I used a scale, so I was watching the measurements as I poured. Probably should have shown that in the video.
Yes I find that to be the hardest part about making candles. It's why I kind of stopped for a while. I feel stuck on the calculations on how much fragrance to add to the wax. I can never seem to get it right. 😔
Amazing video tysm!!!

Beautiful why do you put three wicks ?
Question: How do you know the wax weight for each individual candle without weighing the wax you're pouring into the vessel?
I love your candles I want to know where you get the labels on the roll from?
where can i get the long metal tool you used to mix dies in another video i saw of yours where the white guy interviewed you. cant find it anywhere!
That is a metal drink stirrer. I got it off Amazon.
Love it!
Great video
Thanks!
Hello ma'am can you please explain what you put below to avoid wick touching directly to the base of the container?
Hi. I love your video ! question how much scented oil do you put in ?? I have be trying to make candles for a few weeks now im just learn to get everything from candle science
Does it needs to be cured? 1 week or several days?
I have a question I want to start a candle business but I would love to hear your prices so I can get a good estimate of what I should sell them for and also how can I sell them online like makey own line/website ❤❤

hey
what type of wax do you use for candle and FO load ???
I’ve never made candles but wanting to start, where do I purchase the items I need?
Спасибо, очень интересная информация. Благодарю.
Thanks for the info 👍
How often do you test your candles? What size containers were the single wick ones? Where do you get your wick stickers and are the small ones
I have a questions in doing a candle w a message w beads /I know I have to pour it up to a limit and then once it gets dry I need to pour other half my question is do I use the same wax and do I put fragrance on both
Do you measure the amount of fragrance oil before putting it into the wax? If yes then what's the measurement?
I don’t pre measure, but pour in the oil while the pouring pitcher is on the scale. For this recipe I used 9oz to 74oz fragrance oil.
I have a few questions.
1. do you use SCX wax?
2. you say in the video that the wax should be heated to 190 degrees and at 185 degrees you can add the fragrance oil.
However, many manufacturers say that you should heat the wax to 150 degrees and add the fragrance oil at 140 degrees. Allegedly, the fragrance molecules then break down because otherwise it gets too hot. This is the case with SCX wax, for example. But with the 464 wax, the temperatures are not that high either.
Could you please write something about this, because I would like to understand it and I am sure that you know what you are doing :-) I would really appreciate an answer.
Thank you for your questions. I have the details of the exact wax and other materials I use in the description. For this particular wax , 454 I have always heated it to 190, and just make sure to pour in the fragrance before it reaches below 185. the temp can drop quickly depending on your environment, and you don't want to miss that window. (I tend to find something to distract me) Most of the waxes I've used need to be heated higher for the wax and fragrance to combine, 150 is way to low for this wax. I've learned to use what I read as a guide, and tweak based upon other things I've learned and trial and error. My ways may not always be what everyone else is doing, but they are what work for me. I'm never afraid to question the norm, or ask questions like you did. This is how we grow! Thanks again.
Is there a way to get a hot and cold throw in one candle? If so, what do you recommend?
The label on the bottom of the jar is also from the same label making place or does that automatically come with the jar?
what is the fragrance to wax ratio?
How much fragrance to pour in the wax?
All the details are in the description 😊
I have one more question. Do you allow this wax the full 14 day cure time before conducting a burn test and shipping to customers ? Or are you a rebel and break that rule?
Great question. I wouldn’t call it being a rebel 😝 but I always like to test theories myself, and when I couldn’t make candles fast enough to keep up with the orders, one day I tested my candle 24hrs after making and it was great. Since this i never wait 14 days. And no complaints. ☺️
Great video, I make wax melts, I see in the description you stated to use a certain kind of wax, I typically use pillar wax, any suggestions for using this wax as far as amount of fragrance oil and I guess using pillar wax versus your recipe??
This wax would be too soft for a pillar candle. Typically a soy wax blend with paraffin would be used. Or even a beeswax. I heard Candle Science has an Eco Soya Pillar wax that is good. As for the fragrance oil, the measurement is about the same.
What additives do you add to enhance your hot throw.
How long after making a candle is it useable?
I use mine after 24 hrs.
Where can I buy a good fragrance that sticks
Candle science has great scents ❤
Exactly! My two favs are Candle Science and Cierra Candles. But honestly most are amazing. Most fragrances come from the same few factories.
Do you have an opinion you could share on wooden wicks?
Thank you so much !
Thanks. It IS which kind of wax ? E wax?
All the details and the formula is in the description. ☺️
Hi I have a question if you could answer please. I had a few products in a box that I was saving to start a project of candle making just for myself and family, add not got round to doing it and completely forgot about the box anyway the other day I got it out I'm realised that some oil I believe it was sheer butter or coconut oil that I've had in the same box, anyway I feel that some have the oil is on the wax beads as I can feel the oil on them it's not it's not on all the beads but will I still be able to use the beads or can I not make or can I not use the wax now, any advice would be great thank you.
So if my math is mathing…the fragrance load is abt 10-11%? I have so many jars here…def gonna test this in the frosted jars.
You are correct. It’s about 1oz of fragrance to 8oz of wax, give or take. Upon testing if you can use less go for it and save some money!! 😝
Where do u buy fragrance oils from?
Jasssss... I love you!!!
Love you toooooooo! 😘😘😘
How much fragrance oil dhould we use?
Thank you
