Just used this to make three candles to surprise my wife when she gets home from a business trip; this guide was absolutely first rate, super accessible, non-pretentious, informative, and very easy to follow. 12/10 stars. Thanks so much.
@@TheDownables Very much. Not so much for the quality but more for the effort. The quality was more lacking because these were some of the first candles I made, so not my best work. In the time since I've improved the craft considerably and have developed a finer sense of smell for mixing and matching scents, for wick placement in candles, and for overall best practices. Nothing educates like experience.
Look into beekeeping in that case. Most people won't buy a candle but everyone needs honey/sugar. Bees also produce beeswax and you can farm bees within city limits
@@corneliusc8952 Thank you for the tip and I will. I've had some success with candles, but beekeeping would make sense also, as I love gardening; so it would just be the extra addition. I have 8 fruit trees so far.
Never been much of a crafter, but i recently got hooked on candles and after spending a lot of money buying 12 and 14 dollar candles i thought i better see what's available. I see some money saving crafting in my future.
This quarantine is making me do things like puzzles and darts and baking Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess Pottery and ventriloquy, and Now Candle making!! 👌🏼
Hahaha its like we are finding out all the possible things we can get interested in, in a couple of months, which would otherwise have taken a lifetime or beyond 😁 P.s you can check out homemade soap making next 😂
One of the best explanations I've found so far, so thank you. Couple questions 1# what's the temp for pouring ideally using soy/soy and coconut wax? 2# how does the decorations handle the heat of the wax and do they catch a light? Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for a very clear and understandable tutorial. I appreciate it that you gave clear explanations as to WHY you did things a certain way. Not all content creators take the time to do that.
I am going to attempt making a candle for the first time ever and I am so glad I saw this video as it gave me so many important tips! Thank you for this!!
I love this tutorial! It was so concise and helpful. I love making gifts - paintings, scrapbooks, cards, jewellery but for some reason was never game enough to try candles. Thanks for the tips!
I love the candle. Your choice of bowl, the starfish, and petals, as well as the wax are delightful. You're amazing and so kind to share your talent and process and technique! You're the star!!!!! 🤩❤💯👍
Another important thing I would say is to pour wax in heat proof cup ,bowl or any decorative tub ,glass ;) definitely don’t use plastic tragedies do happen when people don’t use heat proof stuff 😰😱😭
This is glorious, I've been looking for "candle making supplies" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Cenadoelyn Candle Contemplation - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.

Thank you so much for all the tips and reasons why you're doing things a certain way~ I suddenly got the urge to try my hand at candle making, and this helps me feel more comfortable starting up!
Glad I checked out this video instead of just looking up some basic instructions. Wouldn’t have thought of heating the bowl or letting the wax cool slightly before pouring. Thank you!
That was such a wonderful tutorial. I have never made candles before but your instructions were beautifully presented i am definitely going to give it ago. Thankyou 😊👍🏻
Very good advice on the heat gun for heating up the glass or bowl whatever you Poor the candle wax In. No one on UA-cam is giving that advice so thank you
I just saw the video and make rhe candles. I'm waiting for them to solid, but I can't wait to thank you for the really useful tip on how to measure the wax. I did as you say, and I got two equally perfect size candles. Thank you very much!
So nice. I'll try this with my girlfriend. We buy quite a lot of candles everytime we drink wine and cook some BBQ. This way we can save on cost and it would be a fun activity together.
Hello from Mexico! Your video is great, it has small details that seem very important and others don’t mention this, thank you for your time and dedication. I’d love to see a video for diy soaps.
Enjoyed your video, and the clear instructions, including the 'why'. Bowl is a great idea, I think ill look for some with the pattern/design on the exterior, and maybe use 3 wicks.
thanks for this video! i will save it so i can come back to it whenever i need to remember something about making candles! everything is so perfectly explained in a very understandable way :)

Thank you! This was really helpful. So far I melted the wax in a big glass jar itself and always had that dipping and didn't know what was the problem. The wax is too hot! So I will pour the wax into the glass jar in the future to avoid that! Awesome! 🤍🕯
Hello! Love the video! Thanks for explaining into detail & showing after pics. Quick question. Is it safe to add those kind of decor? It won’t like catch on fire? Or do you remove the sea shell at a particular time the candle is burning? Would also like to add particular food items, such as candy corn, coffee beans, or cinnamon sticks. Thank you

sheri vegas, how to measure the fragrance? And what kind of fragrances are you using? Pure essential oils or fragrances prepared specifically for candles? Thanks in advance.
Where do you purchase your fragrance oil? I have never made a candle, would love to try. I would like to make one and you be able to really smell the fragrance.
