Thank you! I've just received my bubble candle mold & had no idea where the wick would be placed. It's my first go. I only have bees wax from the farm. Do hope it works.
Such a great video invest in a wick pin it avoids piercing the bottoms and leaves less mess it’s saved me so much time with pillars
What is a wick pin and doesn’t it get “glued” to the candle if it doesn’t have a hole to escape from?
I made these bubble candles yesterday for “research “ purposes. I found out a lot of information through my research … wicks, wax, timing, temperature, coloring, etc.
what temperature?
Hi:) .. what's the best wax for this candles?
I recommend Kerasoy pillar wax
@@GlowedCandles thank you :D
can you guide me regarding time and temperature, also how much amount of fragrance is required for what quantity of wax ? please
This is by far one of the most informative & well put together videos on how to make a decorative candle. Bravo!
Thanks 😊 means a lot. I try to make the video I would want to watch as a candle maker.
Which wax have you taken
Love it…what wick did you use to achieve a longer burn time? Thanks in advance.
Amazing, i tried the cup method and it turned out very wonky on top 😂 this little hack is amazing with the tea towel, thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much. Informative, no wasting time. Nice music also. Thank you. I got my bubble moulds, I'm excited to get started.
Thank you
What to do if the hole in the mold becomes big
How to clean the mold
And the question about wick, why everyone is leaving that long wick while pouring the wax if any way we cut it in the end? I always make it smaller so I dont waste that much of a wick. What do you think? :)
I just made a candle with a shorter wick and it fell into the candle. Maybe that’s why? Idk? New here 😅
@@jessicaehirsch9557 For me, they fell only a few times but I was able to fix it immediately. So I don't understand this waste. 🙈🤷🏼♀️
Making them shorter requires more work when you make volume (100 at the time) because you need to recentre, etc… so it is more efficient for me. Keeping length at the top of the candle can be to add a tag or to do a pretty knot to finish the look.
Yes, you can but generally ready made wicks come long in size
@@abrolneha3678 I use wicks which you cut yourself the length you need.
Your video is so informative, I like the way you tell us all the steps for making candles, Thankyou for Sharing with us🙏😊
Thanks 😊
how do you do it with the stick wick you had first?
Hello! Thanks for your video! I have made one of those with soy wax but unfortunately at the time of bringing it out of the mold it kinda chipped, could you tell me how can I avoid this to happen or give me some tips? Please!! :)
Hi there! Are you using soy wax formulated for pillar candle? Check this video to find out why it is important: ua-cam.com/video/48JcjPbA1Ms/v-deo.html
Thank you so much. This is very useful :) But I wonder when it burns, will it melt like oil or it'll disappear in the air?
These will melt (part of the wax will burn). What you refer to is a dripless candle (no melting wax). I have heard of those but I have never tried them.
Amazing 💕🥹🤭 I was so lost with my molds until now lol!! Thank you 🙏🏽
Really informative vedio, got to know many good tips. Thank you
Glad you found it helpful.
What kind of wick is the one you use and measure for that bubble candle!! and Thanks for the information is super easy to understand.. Greetings from Michigan
Soooooo cute! Thanks for a lovely video!
I'm inspired from you n i want to start my candles business but I'm confused about these things
1. Which color is good for candles?
2. Essential oil or fragrance oil which is good n which is more profitable?
3. Which wicks is good wooden or normal n why double wicks used in candles?
Thank you❤
Thank you 😊
I use neither in my candles so I can’t help on this one. My pillar candles are all unscented and with no colours.
Great video…. I couldn’t figure how to get the wick inside❤
Thanks for sharing the making of those elegant cute bubbles candles! May I know how to glue two parts of candles together if I hv broken one ? Thanks a lot!
No, you can’t glue them back together. If they are unscented and with no dye you can melt them and pour a new batch.
Great video, thanks so much for sharing! Could you maybe share exactly which wick you use? The link only shares a bunch of searchresults with all different wicks, thank again!
It depends on the wax you are using, if you are using colour or fragrance oil. All of these will impact the wick size.
Hello, i make bubble candles for christmas but some of them have a thin white layer around, so that the color faded or bleached kind of. I think it‘s because i don‘t clean them enough. Usually i use very hot water, sometimes with soap but this didn‘t really help. When my molds are dry, you can see a really a small layer of white wax powder in the molds. What can i do? How do i clean them right? Some of my candles looking good and some really don‘t but only because of these white layers or they crumble a little bit off but only on the side. I pour my wax at 75-80 Celsius and i use rapeseed wax. Maybe you have some tips! Thank you!❤️
I used to apply vaseline inside my molds with a soft brush. As I recently buyed the silicon mold, I'll try to do the same! ;)
Hi, thankyou for the cloth tips, im using a soy wax for pillar candle, but it always leave some cracked on the side, i tried to mix it with 464 but it leaved with some moist textured and wet, any tips??
Now I have to find a big thread needle thanks
How can i avoid the top part still good because qhen i do always look flat
When I make a hole in the mold for the wick, is it possible to fill the mold with something else after the candle? For example soap or plaster?
I tried this but I see you have got a neat finishing in the bottom but I wonder how I am getting the hole after drying the candle
Hiya, Thanks for this. I want to make some of these candles, I have the Kerasoy pillar wax and mold, I just need to order the wick. Please could you tell me what wick you use as a starting point? Thank you.
Hello, I would suggest CL or TCR wicks
@@GlowedCandles what size tcr?:)
What size wick did you use?
She never responded ah? Of course she’s not gonna respond a very important question … they don’t wanna help they wanna show off they candles that’s it
I soon by these bubble mould from daraz and making this candle like you then share it with my UA-camrs
Thank you for this video... The one only missing is the thing the information I was after. What wick size do you use? I tried looking for that wick in metres... Can you please include the link?
www.4candles.co.uk/candle-making-wick/raw-unwaxed.html
I'll try this! Just wondering if the mould can really be reused after piercing it because I also use my moulds for soaps etc
Also, after making 20-30 of these maybe the hole expands and gets so big the have to throw the mould?
I would not recommend using the same mould for other craft as there will be wax residue as well as FO / Dye depot on the mold.
As per the lifetime, yes there will be a point we’re you need to replace it but if you are careful you can make hundreds of candles with the same mould.
Hi there! Your bubble candle is beautiful. What do you burn it on for safety?
Hello, thanks.
Usually a tray
Thank u for your video! This's very useful for me(I am a beginner)
how should I do to avoid air bubbles?
Thanks 😊 make sure to tap your pouring pitcher on the table before you pour. It helps removing bubbles.
@@GlowedCandles Thank you so much ! I'm gonna try.
Awesome video! Just what I was looking for! Did you trim the bottom wick after removing from the mold or did you leave it long? Thanks!
Thanks 😊 yes I trim the wick
@@GlowedCandles hi I'm mpumi I want to learn on how to make candles please help
Hi, any tips on how to prevent spillage at the bottom of the mold? I made one candle and it turned out great, but with the second one, 1/3 of the wax seeped through the bottom of the mold.
Hello, you can use blu-tack to block the wax from spilling.
Hiya, thanks for your tutorial. Ive been making candles for ages, using soy wax 464, but ive decided that tomorrow, im making all my moulds. What wax would you recommend for mould? Ive got an Orchic pillar & melt wax
Hello, picking the right wax for mould is super important. I recommend Kerasoy pillar blend or ecosoya pillar. But it really depends where in the world you are and what is available in your country. Get a couple of 1kg bags and test is my best advice.
@@GlowedCandles Hey , I tried using a parrasoy mixture and it worked nicely. Is that a good combi what do you say ?
I have never tried wax blend, I always use the same wax (Kerasoy pillar blend).
Hi! Thanks for the video. I'm trying to make soy candles with molds but my candles are always frosted, can you please help me...
Hi question ! I just made a bubble candle mold and when i took it would when it dried the bubble candle felt oily. Do you know what caused this ? Hoping for a response !
Hello, it could be because: 1) you used too much fragrance oil 2) you used a container wax rather than a pillar wax.
I just bought a bubble mould and wanted to know if you could just make it upside down,the top being flat,rather than put a hole in it? As you'll be burning it from the top anyway?
And how do you do it with the wicks with metal bottom?
I have seen people do it, there is no rules.
Do you need to use a new mould each time? (Sorry for asking a dumb question but I genuinely don’t know)
Hello, no you can re-use the mould.
@@GlowedCandles ok thanks
Hlo... Can i make the regular candle melt and use it as a wax... Is it possible if we do like that
Hello, could you tell me please where you get your brown wick ?
Hi, I'm making these candles as a present for my wedding guests.
I've already tried to candles I've made and they don't burn as I thought they would burn. the wax is leaking through the smallest part of the candle. Do you have any advice?
I would be so grateful!!
How long would u recommend letting the wax set for before you take it out of the mold x
Hello, I recommend 8hours.
@@GlowedCandles thank you very much :) i love your videos x
Hello. , I really want to start making candles on my own. I have one concern though. Does the wax smell intense?
Hello, it’s hard to answer as it does depend on the wax you choose.
Hi, i like ur video btw.
At what temperature does it take to pour palm wax? mine is always broken inside and has holes. Thank you
Hello, I have never heard of palm wax, sorry I can't help with that
If using a soy pillar blend, how long should these candles burn? And how much wax should remain at the end? My candle has a nice flame and is burning inwardly like it should, but I'm about 3 hours in and a lot of the exterior candle still remains. I'm not sure if I have a big enough wick... I'm using a 24 ply flat braided wick and I have a bubble mold that's similar in size to yours in the video. The wick said it's meant for pillars with diameters 2-3 inches (my bubble mold is exactly 2 in) but I'm not sure if because this pillar wax is soy-based if it might need a bigger wick?
I would say you need a bigger wick. You want it to burn inward but not tunnel too much which sounds like it is what’s happening in your example.
It also depends if you are using fragrance and or colour.
Please throw some wick sizes please, wicking is the problem but just saying which wick you used in your is gonna help a lot of people a lot
How to wick the mini bubble candle? How to prevent frosting and sinking hole?
Could you tell what size wick you used? What is the burning time?
Usually tcr 27 but Eco do work well too. +/- 10h or 5h on a power burn
Hi, can you tell us how ti burn test? And is it normal these kind of candles leak?
Hi..thanks for ur tutorial..had a question..I am finding it difficult to make a hole in the mini mould for the wick..any suggestions pplease?
You guide me proper way to make bubble candel ,how ever I purchase the silicon mold last weak ,thank,s 🙏🌹👍 love from india 🙏🌹👍
Thank you so much for your helpful videos, could you please leave the link of the candle wick you buy from yourself. Thanks
Thanks 😊
It depends on the shape, each shape will need a different wick based on the diameter and overall size of the candle
Need help- how come the top bubble break off on me when im unmolding- let them dry for 24 hours
I would say you are using the wrong wax. Is it a wax for pillar?
I am also candle maker it's very difficult to sale our products and it's very easy to make
I disagree. Good candles are hard to come by, people think it is easy and start selling them but candle making is a science.
Ma'am, does it melt and get desgaped when we burn it?
Is this one time use or can you use it multiple Times
You can use them multiple times
Can you please tell how much temperature of the candel to melt and also for which temperature for putting fragrance and colour
It depends of the wax you are using temperature will differ from one to another
Hi, Tell me what is the whole is to big? Is there a solution for this problem?
Hi! Can someone tell me how to clean properly the silicone mold before and after I use it?
Thank you!
Hello, I have a full video on this 😊

@@GlowedCandles Thank you so much! I will try it. 😀
And, I have one more question: Why every final product that I make is full with small little air bubbles?
Although, it looks interesting I don’t want every candle to look like this.
Thank You!
Hii thank you so much for this amazing video, but i wonder why when i make candles there’s like an air bubbles it’s not soft please help me 🤍🤍
Not soft? I am not sure I understand what you are asking
@@GlowedCandles i mean like when i get out the candle from the mold there’s bubbles in it.
@@GlowedCandles i put the pic on my profile page
@@xxxx-yg1sn I think it because of the temperature, maybe it too hot? Or it can be you do them in cold room, and also it can happen when you stir them too much
@@thole8986 ohhhh thank you soooo much 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
How do you speed up the curing process? And also do you still poke a hole for the other wick?
You can’t speed up the curing process. Once your mold is pierced you do not need to poke it anymore but use a needle next time to pass the wick to avoid the mold getting too big
@@GlowedCandles Ok thank you so much!
I have the same mold but mine is scented and candle dyed when i take it out it has soft parts to it im gonna try and wait for 12 hr too than ill check out how it comes out i love ur videos
Thank you
Mam ,can you teach me how to make candles .i love it very much....
Hello, I made candles last night but a came across a few issues. One of them being my wicks not burning. Is there something I should dip to get the wick to burn well?
Hello, yes. You should prepare your wick by dipping it into wax.
What type of wick do you use?
Do you cut the bottom of the wick completely or do you leave a little hanging out?
Hello, I cut it completely.
Loved this video!
I tried making a few with soy pillar wax but the bottom of the candle turned all rough and uneven when it solidified. Any idea what might be causing this?
My guess is that you are not using a wax suitable for pillar candles
ua-cam.com/video/48JcjPbA1Ms/v-deo.html
@@GlowedCandles I specifically bought soy wax that was indicated for pillar candles at the website that I bought from. I guess something is wrong with their formula ://
Thanks for the answer tho!
What brand is it? Might be the wax quality
Just rub the bottom of candle on any plain hot surface and it will become flat.
Does anyone know if there is a tutorial on how to make shell candles? I can’t figure out what size or type of wick to use so the shell burns properly
Go back on her channel she has some
Hello, I have a few tips in another video but I could shoot a dedicated tutorial as they are very tricky and have been my nemesis for a long time! Thanks for the idea, I will work on it!
Hi! I made my first bubble candle but there are white frosting on the grooves. How do I fix that? It’s noticeable since I used a bright pink color.
Hello, it is likely to be down to your temperatures. Only testing will get you to the perfect combination.
Is there any requirement to spray / grease 1st the mould n then pour the wax...??? If yes then which oil we have to spray???
Do not spray grease! You need a 100% silicone spray. Spray the moulds directly prior to pouring.
I STARTED WITH THE SMALL BUBBLE CANDLES BUT THE SURFACE ALWAYS GOES IN DEEP INSIDE
Hello. What kind of wax did you use? You did not mention what kind of pillar wax it is.
Hello, I use Kerasoy Pillar Blend
Any tips for nail nics from de-moulding?
Ah.. I personally gave up on long nails and always have mine really short.
The silicone is just for once or I can use it again? After I wash it first
You can reuse the mould many times.
What do I put it in when I burn the candle? Like something to catch the wax
A tray or a plate are good options
Hi, thank you so much for the video!! It is very helpful! I keep getting ''frost'' on my top most bubbles. A very thin layer. I'm using paraffin wax with dye.
I have never used paraffin so I won't be able to provide advice, in my experience, frosting is due to temperatures.
Hi there I love your video! New subscriber :)
Can you tell me where you got your raw wick from?
Hello! Thank you ☺️
I get my raw wick from 4candles (UK)
Can u pls tell me What is an ideal pouring temperature for paraffin candles?
I don’t use paraffin so unfortunately I won’t be able to help 😕
Can we use paraffin wax for this candle
How come it didn’t dip in the centre
Hii i have few questions. Can i use beeswax to make bubble candle. Will that work well? I actually liked the thought to make bubble candle with beeswax as it cleans the air when burned. Lil help pls.
Hello, I have never used beeswax before so not sure if it is the appropriate consistance for moulds. You need a wax that hardens enough to demould properly.
Thank you soo much dear
Why do you say that you can't fix the underpoured candle? Cant you make a second pour?
How much ever i try my candle is full of air bubbles what to do 😫??
How do you make it with a pre-made glue stick thingy?
You do not need a wick sticker for pillar candles.
Everytime i pour wax in mould, it gets fluffy and all ruined and start coming out of the mould on its own. I dont understand what did i do wrong? I boiled the wax till 85 degree celsius and poured it at 65 degree celsius. Pls help!
Hello,nice candle ,can you tell me which kind of soy wax you use?
Hello, I use Kerasoy pillar blend
Beautiful
When removing from the mold and there are some candles stuck to the mold, the surface of the candle is not smooth, do you have any advice?
Three potential issues:
1) You are not using the correct wax type, by the sound of it it is too soft for pillar candle.
2) if you are using pillar wax maybe your temperatures are off.
3) your molds need cleaning
do we have to lubricate the candle mould with oil or something?
No, you need to use the right wax. A wax to make pillar candles.
do you heat the mold with a heat gun before pouring the wax?
I don’t but you can
The wax when u were pouring in the bowl looking like candy melts
When I demold the candle there are small bubbles on the top...how to fix those bubbles..kindly plz reply
what type of wax are you using? Is it paraffin?
Bubbles are down to temperature and mould complexity. If you pour too cold bubbles tend to get trapped. I recommend tapping gently from the outside of the mould
Please help me !!!

Hi! Thanks for the video. I am trying to make bubble candles. I use soy wax, I add fragrance at 65°C and I pour my wax at 60°C in the mold. I left them dry over night, got them out of the mold and left them cure for 2 weeks (that's what I read). I used 5 types of wick to see which one lasts longer and burns slower. TCR 27 lasted 1h30min and the longest burn was ECO 2 with 3h30min. What am I doing wrong? I heard that a correct bubble candle has to burn 10h or so. Also wax dripped all over.. Can you help me with some advice? Thank you in advance!!
What wax are you using?
@@GlowedCandles soy wax 464 for moulds
As far as I know 464 is a container wax at least in the UK. So I don’t know the mould version so hard to help. Each wax is different and require a different wick. Eco 2 seems very small though and I would expect it to tunnel.
One thing I would say is that when people say 10h burn time it doesn’t mean 10h straight. It means 10h within a burn pattern of 1h or 2h at the time.
@@GlowedCandles 494* sorry. It is for moulds for sure. Every wick made a tunnel tho. Each different size. I don't understand how it is supposed to melt. If the candle makes a tunnel it's not right, if it doesn't the wax drips like crazy... could you maybe post a video of how it is correct for a candle like this to burn please?
@@Zozolee19 Hi, did you find a solution for this? I am doing this candels as well and have the same problem. I would prefer a tunnel I guess.
What temperature you have to pour the wax in the mold ?
Hello, it depends on your wax and whether you are using fragrance. But for me the cooler the better so under 60 degrees
I often have the problem that the siliconmold is breaking where the wick goes through.. Also the wax leaks through aswell. I am using a needle everytime i pull a wick through.. what should i do?
You can try blue tack, it works for me.
Moulds won’t last forever especially the bubble one they are not made to make candles initially
@@GlowedCandles Ill try that, thanks!
How to avoid cracking of candle? I made this but when it dries, it cracks.
Your wax is probably not for for purpose. Try a different brand making sure it is for pillar candles.
