Anyone else just love how relaxing her presentation is?
I do as well. I love ❤️ the way she explains everything perfectly.
Yes!! Gives me life
@@selenamcbride2516 Y’all give me life😍😍😍
I do!
I do
I also love that you didn’t dye the wax. There’s something about the sleekness of no color, that I prefer!
Great instructional video. You didn’t rush through it or drag anything out. This has definitely inspired me to move forward.
Ebonie Johnson Thank you❤️❤️
Same
I agree 👍 I think I can do this
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo If i wanted to make one set of wax melts how many grams do i use and im using 10%Fo
@@fancymonroe9231 I just use 453 grams of wax 28 of fragrance oil; it makes a solid 6 clamshells with some leftover which I like to use for me

Hi Paris, Just wanted to let you know I have been watching your videos for years and have been attempting to make candles. Most fragrances cause me to have headaches so I keep taking long breaks.

Just stumbled on this trying to figure out what kind of buisness I want to start, needless to say I think your vid helped a lot in my decision making. Thank you for the great content!
Thank you!
Great video, thank you. Also very pretty smile
I've been making wax melts for about a year now, and I'm wanting to start selling them. Ordinarily I didn't really have a step by step method since I was just making for myself or family and friends, and this video was really helpful in showing a production process, especially with the measurements! Thank you so much, this was so helpful and easy to follow. I'll definitely be pointing my US friends to Lady Cimonne Candle Co :)
Thanks so much❤️❤️❤️
love your videos💕 ! I’m getting into the candle making business and you give so much knowledge and information.
Lissa Nicole Thank you so much ❤️
Lissa Nicole Sending blessings to your business!
LadyCIMONNE Candle Co. Thank you!
Great video
Bravo!!!!!
This video was very helpful. Step by step while making sure you mentioned the steps throughout the video
Thank you for watching :)
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo You're welcome😍 I may have missed it but where did you find your wax melt plastic containers?
Shina Ward I order them from Candle Science; so any candle supplier!
Well done. I subscribed to your channel. Thank you!
Thank you! Welcome to the LadyC Fam❤️
You are amazing. Thank you for not being selfish for sharing how to do these things. I wanted to do something for an add-on to my small business (I sew handmade drawstring bags and other things). I wanted to make candles, however with my color aesthetic, its hard to find matte black candle jars for 6oz's. The three suppliers I checked into, are sold out. And it really saddened me because I had JUST created my labels for 6 scents I will be launching. Then I thought what about wax melts. I've made candles before a long time ago but never to sell, I never dabbled in tart making.
I stumbled on your channel doing a generalized search for tart wax making, and found you. Thank you from my heart!!!
New subscriber!
Congratulations on wanting to expand your business! And thank you for the support!
Love how you break down into details from the beginning until the end. Watching your videos help me move forward and give me the strength to believe I can run a successful business. What advice can you give me in finding the right place to create labels for my candles and wax melts?
I make my own labels; I have videos on that. It use sites like Avery
Great video! I must waste a lot of fragrance oil, because I add 12% to my melts. This comes out to 2 ounces. But, I love a strong scent.
Hi Nioaka. I just saw another melt maker and she said she uses 3oz for hers.
@@TonettaClay Oh my :D
I enjoyed your video. You're patient during your tutorials. How much of a snap does your wax melts have?
Thank you
Sure!
I have a feeling I’m gonna be watching a lot of your videos
Thank you so much!
Do you make your samples in clamshells then pop out? Or do you use something different? If something different can you share what and where to order. Thank you in advance ❤️
I loved this video so much! It was so simple and easy understanding, thank you!❤️ I was wondering what wax melt container label do you use and where can I buy the same one you have? I was thinking of using my shipping labels and cutting them but that would be too much work. Thank you!❤️
Keilakattt I make my own with onlinelabels.com
I use 2x3
just made me some melts using this was and they were amazing thank you for your help. Also non wax related your hair is bomb what hair is this?
It's kinky twists
I love your channel . With the 28grams of fragrance what is the %?
where do you purchase your fragrance oil, also do you make candles and which is more profitable
I love this ! Where do you get the warning labels?
From any candle supplier...Candle Science
Do you do anything special when preparing the clam shell molds ?
Love you and your content. You pushed me over the hill to start understanding wax candles and melts. How do you clean your equipment afterwards?
Iva Chakanyuka Hello! Thanks! Alcohol and paper towels
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo thank you. Any particular kind of alcohol?
Iva Chakanyuka No😊
Hello can i remelt my scented candle and add fragrance oil again? Is it safe to do it? Thanks😘
Love your video is very simple and to the point. Does it have to be paper towel to clean the pouring pitcher at the end? I hate wasting paper.
Whatever you use is fine!! 🙂
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo 😊 thanks. I wanted to make sure because I know most will leave out lint or something. I am enjoying most of your videos because I know I haven’t watch all of it yet. Thanks so much for sharing the information and love vibes.
So do you put the warning label on the inside?
Good job with the video! And, thanks for sharing. What is the total burn time for your wax melts?
elstonlewis One wax melt can last about 20 hours.
You made it look so simple cleaning the pot you used to melt, mix, & pour the wax. When Im done it’s always dried up wax/scent/color left behind😩
Thought mines was the only one looking like that afterwards 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much for just taking the time out to share your knowledge, I am a new follower/subscriber. I wanted to know if there is another recommendation that you may have for the tart wax since candlescience discontinued theirs. Thank you in advance for your time and help.
There are so many candle suppliers out there so just research other suppliers near you; but I also order from The Flaming Candle🙂
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo thank you , also do you have any recommendations when it comes to the formats of your spreadsheets especially for a newbie ?
@@justcelebrateucandlesandmo6476 What spreadsheets are you referring to?
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo when I was watching your Pre-sale video, and you were saying that you would track pre-orders by scent. I wanted to know if you had a recommended formula and /or spreadsheet. Sorry if that was confusing .
@@justcelebrateucandlesandmo6476 No, I just created a quick excel sheet. It wasn’t nothing special. Then printed out a report in my Shopify store
I enjoyed watching your video’s. I’m new to this and can’t wait to really start, can you help explain the math. I understand trail and error lol. Thanks you spoke clearly and not fast and you took your time. Thanks, all your video’s have been great. Keep up the good work.(1oz for every pound)?
Deanna Branch Hi!!! Awww thank you so much! ❤️
So the math will depend on how much wax can be held at the wax fill line!
So I use 9oz jars but it hold 7oz. I use grams, so I converted that to grams; and I use a 10% fragrance load. So here is my math that I found has worked for me:
Net Weight / 100% + FO%
198g / 100% + 10%
198 / 110% = 180g
So 180g is how much wax I measure out for one candle. So to know how much fragrance I need to reach 198g for fill to my jar line,
198-180=18
So 18g of FO
Hope this helps!
Use the wax calculator
Hey great video! Question what temperature do you add the fragrance?
Thank you! 165🙂
My melts keep smoking or giving off alot of vapour have you any tips on how to stop that? I make my melts at 8% and uses a clamshell that hold 75g
Love your videos. What’s size are your label?
Thank you! 3x2
How do I get my melts to.all weigh 2.75,after subtracting clamshell wt?
They are poured close to same
Are you in Dallas? I am headed to the Flaming Candle for pickup next week!
I am in Ohio🙂 Oh great!
Where do you get your tart wax from and which wax have you found to be the best for you?
The Flaming Candle - I've only used 494 :)
Should I purchase this particular wax for my clamshells tarts or can I use the regular 464? Thanks
you can use either.
Hi. Thanks for sharing! So after using this video as a guiding tool I couldn’t figure out why I only filled 3 tart containers. Eventually I came to the conclusion that the melting pot alone weighs 8.64. Therefore, I would say 16 oz minus the melting tool so that beginners do not get confused. I still measured 1 oz of fragrance so I hope isn’t too strong. Any suggestions pertaining to measuring?
Yes I’m sure you probably figured this out. You have to zero out the scale first
Hi great video thank you! I had a question. Do you need special wax for the wax melts? Or can you just use the same as for the candles..? :)
N M Hello! You have to use tart wax
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo Ahhhh okay thank you for the quick answer Cimonne!
Love your videos! Do you cure your wax melts and how many days if you do? I can’t find this info ANYWHERE!
Thank you! A few days or about a week :)
Hi, when do you add colouring
I know this video is holder but thank you. I just made my first wax melts last night watching your video. One question can you tell me what size labels you are using for your wax melts package. Thank you
Yay you! If you follow my biz on IG I would love to see them; you can shoot me a pic!
They are 2 inch circles! My latest video has links to those!
Just a helpful suggestion. I make candles as well. I was using a battery operated scale. Well, it started to act up. While I was looking for a new one, I stumbled onto this point. I read, that in battery operated scales as the batteries get old your, or the scales measurements may be off. So, I suggest get a scale you can plug in, that way the measurements are always correct. Yes, I did get a scale that you can plug in.
Really? I thank you for the tip 🙂🙂 where did you get yours?!
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo sorry it wasnt amazon. I will try to find the site. It was a candle making site, not well known though. However, Im sure Amazon has them as well.
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo You can probably get it cheaper but this is the one I have.....

@@toms81162 Thank you😁
How long do you let your wax melts sit before using them? Great tutorial!
About a week
At what temperature did you pour it at
for your scented candles and wax melts do you allow them time to cure? btw your videos are very very helpful:)
Crystal Morgan Yes I do. And thank you!
How long do you let them cure for? Can you use the same wax as your candles to make them as well? Or do you have to have tart wax?
Queen Tadawi At least a few days; but it depends on orders as well. And no, you have to use tart wax 😄
Can you make wax melts with Coconut Wax?
Hello, when making wax melts, do you use the same wax for making candles or is there a different type of wax for the wax melts.
I use 494...it’s a wax specifically for making wax tarts🙂
Thanks
What do you think about pouring at a lower temperature? 135-150? Also do you still add FO at 185ish or 160? Or do you add at 160 just for your candles? Right now I’m doing a bunch of snap bars for a Christmas drop and staying away from candles at the moment. Wicking will be the death of me. 😅
Not sure if you have watched more recent candle making videos of mine but yes - I hear to 185, add FO at 160ish, pour at 145ish
Can uh tell the right temperature at which we have to add fragrance in paraffin wax ?
Love ur videos ❤️ I have a question My clamshell instructions say to pour at 140 degrees but when it cools it has a lot of frosting on top...I do use soy wax How do I prevent the frosting issue bcus they don't look really nice like that? I do add color I feel that's too low of a temperature to pour but that's according to the instructions TIA 🙂
It’s nothing else you can really do; it’s just the nature of the wax. It happens to mine too but it doesn’t really bother me or my customers. Especially because my label covers it in the package.
Color actually makes it show up worse.
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo Thank u 🙂
Quick question....after allowing the wax to sit until 160 degrees, do you give it another stir before you pour or not?
Nioaka’s Take on Tarot No I don’t 🙂
LadyCIMONNE Candle Co. thank you!
What wax do you use now for your melts/ tarts since they don’t have the Golden wax melt and tarts soy wax anymore I just love your videos
Hello! I still use it - I order it from The Flaming Candle🙂
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo Thank you so much your videos is everything are you going to do anymore videos with the melts keep up the great work chick
@@orethawilliams1474 Thank you!
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo You're welcome
The first labels you showed those were warning labels right? Did you create them yourself or you bought them? If you bought them could you share the link? I didn’t know that you also had to put warning labels on tart melts
Ele Tea I buy my warning labels from Candle Science 🙂
Hey Paris, do you put warning labels on your wax melts?
Yes I do🙂
So I have a question how come when you pour your wax into the molds it doesn't melt the plastic containers?
You’re so beautiful 👸🏾🌹
Thank you!!! :)
Hi I was wandering so you have to use tart wax to make wax melts I thought it was all the same ok I will use a tart wax to make scented wax melts thank you my sister to see candles are Linda's lovely scented candles
Candle science has discontinued the golden wax melt tart wax. Can you recommend another wax? I have the wax for jar candles. Am I able to use that too?
There are so many candle suppliers out there that still sale it - just have to find one near you :) I get mine from The Flaming Candle.
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo thank you!! That’s right here in Ga too.
@@sharonrousejones Your welcome👏🏽
I used the same wax you using. I used 10% fo, no dye. I waited a week. I don't have strong hot throw. After 3 hrs or so I was able to smell more but not as strong.
Hello! When using soy wax, you are never going to have a super strong smell due to the nature of the wax :)
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo Gotcha. Thank for letting me know. What other can I use? Coconut oil? Or blend two different wax? I know that wax melt is different and need to be careful with blending so it doesn't get soft.
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo Do you have video about this so I watch it. I love your explanation the best.
@@iluvdramarock I’ve only used tart wax for my wax melts so I haven’t really look into other waxes for my wax melts. I recommend just doing a Google search 🙂
Hello. Where did you find those little cups? I have been looking everywhere for them.
Linda Robinson Girl, Dollar Tree I’ve also found them at Dollar General lol!
LadyCIMONNE Candle Co. thank you so much! I checked my Dollar Tree yesterday but they didn’t have them. I’ll try another store and Dollar General. I really like your videos. I’m trying to start a candle business too so your information is very helpful. Keep up the good work!
Linda Robinson No problem!! Now I use those Dixie cups (that we use for like mouth wash) to avoid FO contamination. Even though I would clean out those little Tupperware cups, the Dixie cups are easier and super cheap for a whole sleeve!
Hello again 😊…if you don’t mind me asking, have you ever thought about opening your own store?
Like a Brick and Mortor, no I haven't. If I do, that is way into the future.
Question, can I use regular soy 464 wax to make candle melts or I have to use this one?
People use both but tart wax is designed specifically for wax melts so it has consistency and hold; I would test it first. I’ve never done it😊
Okay thank you and thanks for answering so quickly , I’m actually watching the label video now lol
@@evette2341 Sure😊❤️
Hi Paris , can you use regular Coconut Soy wax to make wax melts ?
Honestly, I have tried it. I’ve always just used tart wax🙂
Ok good to know ..I will get Tart Wax ..I’m learning so much from you ..Thank you and enjoy the rest of your day....
@@sharonjohnson5705 Thank you so much❤️
How do you price your candles & wax melts? I did not see a video on that.
I will have a video soon! Not sure if you have been following my IG Facebook or Community posts on UA-cam...that topic is a part of the series🙂
You mentioned earlier that to make 6 wax melts it would take 16 oz of tart wax. Now tell me if Im right with my math .It would take 18oz to make 8wax melts right? ( I hope so)!
