Thank you for sharing your creative imagination in switching the lid handle. Very clever of you. I've been keeping my eye on this mold for a while but just can't get past the ring at the top. I really wish the company who creates these molds would see your video and be inspired to make different lids for their vessels. Great video. Love your color choices.
Beautiful candles, I loved watching your process, the Daisy jar turned out fantastic. I am new to candle making and have only just discovered jesmonite and the possibilities of its use. Really enjoy your content 😊😊
Thank you so much! The daisy jar was a fun one to make! 🌸✨ Welcome to the candle-making world! Jesmonite is such an exciting material with so many possibilities, and I’m sure you’ll have fun experimenting with it. So glad you're here :)
Hello Joolie! Thanks for sharing your experiments! Always looking lovely 💖 I still didn't get one thing. If I make a candle, can I use the Acrylic Sealer from Jesmonite for sealing inside of a jar?
Hello! Thank you so much for watching :) I appreciate your comment 💖 Sorry for the confusion. I’ve pasted the response from Madmayker regarding Jesmonite Acrylic sealer below. I’d recommend reaching out to them for more clarification, but based on their email, I don’t recommend using their sealer for the inside of candle jars. If it's just a decorative jar, it should work just fine :) “Jesmonite does not make a sealer that is rated for exposure to flame, though they are currently undertaking tests for this. We recommend sealing the outside of AC100 candle jars with Acrylic Sealer or Acrylic Gloss Sealer, but we do not, at this time, recommend sealing the inside with these materials. If you wish to seal the inside, it would be necessary to source an acrylic sealer that is specifically rated for exposure to flame.”
@joolieshome thank you for the response! That's super interesting! I made couple candles with sealing inside walls with their Jesmonite Sealer and all was good. So, I was surprised to get this info.
I was surprised to hear it too because I wanted to purchase it for my candle vessels! If you’ve done your own testing and research it could be safe to use. Sometimes we get conflicting information from different companies selling the same product. I’m not an expert in this area so I’m also just trying to figure it out as I go. Please update me if you have more information on it as well :)
helllloo!! i was wondering how the gorilla glue held up for connecting the two jesmonite pieces. Is it a super strong hold or did it break apart eventually??
hello!! So far it's still holding up, but to be honest I don't touch it frequently. I think I took the lid off a few times to light the candle, but that's it. Thank you so much for watching :)
Not a silly question at all! I placed sticky tack into part of the mold and poured the Jesmonite. Once it dried, I demolded the flower and sanded it down to fit :)

Thank you so much for watching :) I agree! I wish they had some interchangeable lid options instead of having to purchase a whole new mold.

What are ingredients for the candle jars?
I used Jesmonite AC100 :)
Hey girllllll
💗💗💗
Hope this isn’t a silly question but how did you cut the daisy in half ? X
