People complain about the sound quality? Seriously? This was perfect. Well explained and clear to understand. Great video 👍
I like your explanation at the beginning. Very clear and informative!
Thank you for your video! I used a dye chip and didn’t get any speckles! Your video was very helpful!!❤️
Thanks again! Love your instructions
I love your videos! Super informative. Appreciate you making these. Can't wait to make some :D
Thank you! I’m excited for you to make some :)
Good morning! I recently discovered your channel and have been loving watching these older videos to see what you use to do vs what you do now! Quick question if you have time: have you noticed any discoloration of the wax melt warning labels due to the dye in the wax melts? I have seen it happen a couple times to others and am curious how common it is when putting the label on the inside. Or, maybe it takes awhile to happen and you may not keep them in stock that long. Thank you! :)
That was kind of you to share your knowledge with everyone. Thanks to you now I know how to make wax melts.😊😊. Cheers
Thanks again for an amazing video. Your tips are the best and so helpful!!!
Thank you!!
Erica I love watching your videos, they are so informative and entertaining. I do have one question, what kind of wax do you use for your melts? Thank You in advance.
All of you're videos are perfect the volume and everything its nothing wrong with you're volume
great info, always appreciate how helpful you are in your videos!
Thank you! 💜
Very good video 😉 but one question, yo mentioned that the precision of the scale should be 0.01g in your comments, but the one that is linked is 0.1g, which one do you recommend?
Loved this! Just got 45 lbs of Pillars of Bliss. And some clamshells. What wax were you using here and do you still continue to use it for your wax melts? Dying wax is so hard and I have liquid wax. I may need to waste some wax to do a dye sample color spectrum. I just can't figure out how to do it using the least amount of wax. For instance if I use tealight molds, I don't feel it could give me a good basis for measurements. I would assume that one ounce increments (half a votive) would be best to help with the math for larger quantities.
If I do decide to do so, and find hues that I like.... can I re-melt them to make a votive and adding scent at the appropriate time??
I wonder if anyone has testing making their waxes in a color batch first, which would require a re-melt.... and once they know they have the color right - to add FO when the re-melt reaches 170-180?
I just turned my volume down, lol! I think you have just the right amount of volume. I hear you fine! Thank you for your time and energy to make this vid, Erica. 💗
Haha well that’s better than not being able to hear me 😅 thank you for watching!
Oh my gosh, this video could not have came at a better time. Was going to start exploring how to properly make them soon!
Oh yay I’m glad it helped!! ☺️
Great info as always!!
Same!!!
How do so avoid dips i want a smooth top
that was amazing. thanks
Hi...love your videos...can you talk about international shipping ...and also the best way to collect revenue to be specific alternatives to paypal and cash app...thanks in advance. I haven't started yet, but these are some concerns i have that i don't see candle makers creating content on
Hi Erica! Do you used the clamshells from cal candle supply? I haven't tried there's yet and I'm wondering if the quality is good?
I just did my fist wax melt and followed your directions, and it came out awesome!!! How long should I wait before I can use them, give them away or sell them????
Love you videos. I use 646 soy and put them in condiment cup because they are soft wax, how does this compare with 464 wax? Does it hold the scent better? Thank you
I loved your video. I want to go into making the scented tarts My question the big thing of wax you got are there other places to get that.? I seen the link for the kits also how do you feel about using essential oils in the melts ? Thank you soo much for your videos I’m subscribed and following
That paper towel trip is great... nice video!!
Thank you!
Great job! I really enjoy your videos. You put so much of yourself into them. Keep up the good work ... Joey
I’ve never made anything like this before, but you make it look effortless!
They’re very simple to make! And a lot of fun ☺️
Volume is good, thanks for the Erica!!
Suggestions for harder wax, get maybe a soap cutter. It allows to cit precise sizes neatly, with less pressure
Thank you!
And oh good idea ☺️
Perfect timing. I was looking at my tart supplies and thinking, the time has come...
her voice is so soothing
Erica, you are just perfect! ⚘
Hi..love ur videos. Canu advise me as to how i can pack the wax melts so that the fragrance remains . What is the difference between wax melts and tarts? How an i price them?
I think your videos are perfect ❤️⭐️
Hi i like your videos. Is it a good product to sell for the first time before the candles?and which type of waxs should we use for wax melt?
I have just started doing melts, great video.
where do we get the fragrance?????
That looks so easy. I have a quick question and I can’t find the answer to it any where. So can u melt down the wax melts you already have and pour them in to a silicone mold of like flowers or something
Great video! By any chance do you happen to have a link for that particular tart wax you use?!
Hi there, thank you for sharing. Do you use the sams type of soy wax that yoi use for candles?
Fantastic tutorial! TFS
Yay this was fun i’m so with you on the liquid dye what is it with their die chips? I get speckles every time
Same 😬 I really need to change and use something else! But I’ve been using less dye in each batch and it’s been helping
Super informative! Why not plastic spoon or spatula though to stir?
Making mine today!!!
Love your videos !!! just made my wax tarts today and I’m wondering do they need to cure? If so how long? Thank you for your great and helpful content!
Thank you!!
It depends on the wax you’re using! Usually anywhere from 3-7 days is good for me but it just depends! If you ever have any concerns or questions, I would call your supplier and ask :)
Question, can you melt the wax in a Presto pot and can you use liquid dye? I assume so and I hope this isn’t a dumb question.
Hi Erica, i would like to know if there is a difference in temperature when melting soy wax.
Thanks for this video! I've been very curious about wax melts lately but I've actually never used a wax warmer before and had no idea you can get the same scent from wax without having a flame. 🤷♀️ I want to purchase my 1st wax warmer, any recommendations? Looking forward to getting one so I can order one of your wax melts too :-) (love your candles!!!)
Thank you so much! 🥰
Check out target or Walmart! They have some pretty inexpensive ones ❤️
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo Will do- thanks!
Hey darling ;*
I have a question about fireplace wax.
i make mantel wax from soy wax for candle making. the proportion of wax and fragrance is the same. special fireplace for tarts and waxes. after an hour of smoking I see steam like in hot tea. I also used a special wax for tarts and fireplaces. after an hour I also see a couple. what can it cause? can they pair like this? how many hours can you burn the wax in the fireplace?
sorry for my english i am from polish. forgive 🙏😘
Great tutorial 👍🏽
Love your videos, they help me a lot .. Thanks
I’m so glad, thank you for watching!
What size are your warning labels? And front labels if you don't mind me asking?
I got a question can you use the pot on the burner or is it better to do double boiler?!?
Thank you so much for this! A couple questions: can you mix fragrance oils and do you cure your wax tarts? If so, for how long?
I’ve seen people say yes to mixing fragrance to make unique scents and also seen people let them set for at least a week
Thank you Erica so much.
Hi do u have any links please for the containers you put the wax in, the colouring for the melts ,the wax you use and if you make a plain one like baby powder is that just using the wax itself .
What size is those wax melts labels, I’m having a hard time figuring out what size I should get
Do you put a warning label on your samples?
Thank you i am just starting to make wax melts just for myself .
How do you check temperature? And where do you buy your smells
Very nice, is there a online store that sells these warmers that melt the candle wax?
how do you know how much wax is in each one of your tarts ? i bought different shapes and kinds of molds and i wanna know how to calculate that
What temp do you add the FO to the wax for melts? I’m using 6006 and heating to 200 and I can’t get a good HT to save my life!! Each clam is about 66g wax and 4-5g of FO.
I'm actually fixing to start making wax melts... and I was wondering where do you get your warning labels at?
This was a good video, I think you should do one with making the candles as well.
I do! ❤️

ua-cam.com/video/dw8Y5JVhgEQ/v-deo.html
So you don't use soy wax only for your melts? Do you recommend not using soy wax or coconut soy blend with clamshells? I've used 100% soy wax for clamshells and they pop out fine, yes they are softer but they pop out fine. What do you recommend?
It was. Thank you 😊
What size are your labels and where do you purchase them.
Love your videos as always!
Thanks girl! 💜
thank you for sharing
I'm so glad I watch your video I like making wax melts I came across this new wax eco soy wax q210 and its fragrance load it's approximately 18% Max would you prefer a 15%when using this wax this is my first time ever going this high in percentage of fragrance for Candles
Oh wow, the container wax holds 18% or is it tart wax? Either way I would test out different fragrance loads and see what works best! Going with the highest load doesn’t always yield the best candle! Sometimes less is more
It's a container and tart wax
For the color dye can I use mica powder???
Hello with tw30 do you have a suggested curing time for it? You have really Helped a lot with your videos
I want to know also! I think I read several day to a couple of weeks.
hello how do I work with the container wax, I order a large amount and they don't accept return even if its not open.
any advice on how to use it for wax tarts. it was too soft and wouldn't pop out when I found out they won't accept the return.
also my other question is when I am measuring in grams when my wax is solid I get a little bit over the amount I need for my calm shells at 17g leftover which is fine for samples. however when I melt the wax and pour it out instead of having over I am a whole 70 g short (instead of 4 filled ,I only have 3 filled) what am I calculating wrong. I went online for the cal and it says my measurement is correct but yet when its liquid the grams is not right
We're did you get your clamshell stand from? I need one.
What kind of wax were you using for the wax melts? If you said it, I missed it.
A question... You're using metric grams for the weight are your temperatures also in metric *C or in *F? Thanks
If you blend scents,do you need a new msds safety sheet,due to creating a new chemical structure?
Hi! How do you like CT and HT using this wax? Does a heavier FO load give this wax a better edge over the rest? Thanks!
Your wax melt arrived today!! Yay
Oh yayyy!! 🥰
I just got into candles in March 2022 I am in the process of testing but I also would like to make some wax melt I know this is not related to wax melt but I was making some candles tonight and I took one of those cups that you have and I poured in the fragrance and I noticed that at the bottom of the cup it turned dark And I assumed that the cup is soaked up some of the fragrance well I took a pipe lit and I removed all the fragrance from the cup and put it back into the 1 ounce bottle and yes I was right it did soak up some of the fragrance because it did not fill up to 1 ounce so I’m thinking of using something different something maybe that is plastic that won’t soak up the fragrance thank you for all the tips that you are giving because I am fairly new to candles
Did u use 75 grams of tart wax or 390 grams?
I always wash it out with the soup when I am done, feeling like the scent from the previous one still smell strong and will alter the net one I am about to do. am I overthinking lol?
Thank you so much for this video how many grams would you say I should use of soy wax for just 6 small wax melts for a practice run so I know how much to use in future !
This really varies based on the percentage of FO you’re wanting to use and the fill weight of your molds!
Hopefully this video helps you: ua-cam.com/video/OnIHDT1M1DY/v-deo.html
Can you use the dollar shop wax melts?
I am using a lap top and most videos I can hardly hear ~ your's is perfect ~ thank you because I don't have to turn on CC
What temperature do you add your oil?
How long do you cure the wax melts?? 🧡
Can you re use the wax from your used waxies?
Great video!! My question is, after pouring the wax into the clam shells, how long do I wait to close the lids?
Until the wax is solidified :)
I usually wait at least 4-5 hours or over night!
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo perfect! Thank you!!
If I only have soy wax for candles, can I add some beeswax to make melts?
What about a link for the clamshell Individual sample containers please
that tart wax is out of stock can i use 464 wax or pillar wax ?
Great video. Do you use the same warning label on your melts that you use on your candles?
Thank you! And they’re very similar! But they have different wording based on how you use melts vs candles
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo where did you order them from? I'll be honest I wasn't aware that they needed them.
I make them myself! But you can get them from CS or a lot of other suppliers too

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo Thank you.
if you registered your shop as a business in your state can you make a video going over that process and the difference between the different business models such as LLC vs Sole Proprietor? Thank you, love your channel!
Hi! I haven’t really talked about this in depth just because I don’t know very much about it because I’m still so new, but I briefly discussed it in my last video at around 14:30 🙂
ua-cam.com/video/RjmSpxGbpRA/v-deo.html
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo Awesome thank you!! I hadn't gotten a chance to watch the entirety of the last video yet but I will now!
Would love some more info on what you've learned so far also about LLC
Hi! Such a great video. Really full of great information! In case you’re interested in how I got here, this was recommended after I watched Sunshine Soap& Candle co.’s latest video (love her!). So anyhow, you have a new subscriber. 😄
Aw that’s awesome! I’m glad to hear the my videos are being recommended ☺️ thank you so much!
Can you use this same method to make wax pellets?
*Great video!*
I’m a beginner from Belgium. Love your video’s. Can I you essential oil’s in the tarts
Thank you! I think you can use essential oils in tarts but I’ve never made them with strictly EO before and the only issue with EO is that they are not typically meant to be heated (they are more for topical use and to be diffused)
I have only ever used FO in tarts
Thanks for the great video! Hey where did you get that thermometer? The length looks perfect for a 4lb pitcher. Is it the one from California Candle Supply? Thanks!
Yes I got it from Cal candle Supply! ☺️
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo Thank you! Wish Cal Candle Supply was just a little closer to San Diego 👍
I got a long one like that at my local grocery, if you want to check there :)
What would the formula be for one clamshell? How much FO
Hi there I'm new and interested with candle making but I still can't find supplier for the wax and equipment. Do you have any recommendation for candle making supplier that ships outside US, like asia? Because most of the them are shipping to US only. Thanks a lot!
Nah. Your volume is fine
Love your videos🥰
Thank you!
I love your videos. Where do you buy your wax clam shells from? You buy them in bulk I'm assuming.
Thank you! I buy them from cal candle supply!
Maple Street has a sale on them almost every other day, it’s a 100 pack for $13.99
Is it possible to make wax melts skin safe? So that you can massage the wax/oil on to your skin.
