![6 Mistakes Candle Makers Should Avoid & How To Fix Them [Updated]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-qEby8J59DA/mqdefault.jpg)
Great tip about putting the candle in the freezer! Always wondered how to get them out clean from the glass!
It actually worked so well! I was very afraid it would stick and I would cut myself
What kind of wicks do you use? Apparently there are many types of wicks, and different ones work best with different waxes? So if I’m putting different waxes together from different candles do I have to worry about the wick I use either not lighting, or even maybe could it cause a fire hazard? I bought a package of zinc wicks from my hobby shop but now I’m nervous about using them. Any suggestions?
I have not ever used zinc wicks that I am aware of, I have only used the wooden ones and the basic ones that came in my kit. I have been looking for non toxic options myself as i would like to use a wick to make a butter candle. I am sorry I am not more helpful. Should l learn anymore i will be sure to come back and let you know.
Hey Jacque love your energetic intro and the drama of the candle scenarios lol 😂 thanks for sharing super helpful and so many amazing candles!! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much Jess🤗
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. It was wonderful work, and your passion is so contagious ❤.
I like your coordination a lot. I use scented candles a lot, buy the leftover issues to add to the filling of my crocheted toys and items for my students, and to tge children in the women's shelters. I give them all away.
I tried it ones, and tge toy I made was just a simple colorful ball as a Christmas ornament, but tge child I made it for, is learning challenged, so he gets frustrated, whenever that happens, he grabs the ball I made him, squeezing it in his hand to relax and tge warmth from his skin, release the scent stronger, he even puts it in his bed with him. So I started making different items, with whatever leftovers i had, it's been years, and people love it. It makes me feel great. When I give them away, the first thing people do is smell them and smile.
I'm going to use your method to make a few more candles for myself or give away. There are still a lot of leftovers in my cabinet. ❤
Happy New Year, dear.
From Sue
Wonderful tips! thanks a bunch!
Im so glad they were helpful, thank you for checking it out
Such a great and easy idea, thanks for sharing! What is the song in the background?

How do you get the circle in the middle of the stick
The kit I bought and linked came with them that way. I imagine you could use a dremel.
That’s awesome I just started making my own ❤can I add water or like coffee water to the wax?
Thnx u for a new idea☀️🌟🌙🙏🌺🌼🌸🌻🍁🪻🌷🌹😘godbless Madame magical home🌠I will do this❤❤❤
I hope it works out great for you 💖💓💖 thanks so much for checking it out
Can essential oils be added as they melt or at the end?
Yes you should be able to add essential oils when I added the scent right before pouring 🫗
Wow Jackie, lots of candles , I sometimes melt wax too and add essentials oil , I have an oil I add its called Leather and Tabbaco.. very nice job on the candles 👍🏼💜
hi 😀 it amazed me how simple but satisfying it was. Leather and tobacco, i bet that is an awesome scent! thanks so much for hanging out with me
should i use a heat gun to melt the wax?
At which part? If you mean in general I wouldn't I imagine it would take too long to melt and might affect the glass jar.
Love your enthusiasm!
Thank you 💗 😊 💓 ☺️ 💛
Wow!! All of these are amazing. You're so talented! Tfs 😁
That is so sweet of you Kate thanks so much 😊
How long to boil the water
It is more about getting the wax to the right temp. than a time for it to boil. Generally speaking you want it to be 180-185F for soy and paraffin wax 200-205ºF for palm wax before you add your fragrance. If you want it to be unscented or if it already had a scent you want to bring your wax to 120 - 165 degrees before you pour them into the jars. I believe I poured closer to the higher number. Thank you for checking out the video! I hope you are having a nice day.
Love this video. Going to order wicks so I can do this
Do it lose scent
I have not had problems with loosing scent.
thanks for the info...may i ask when is the time to add scents, is it when it's still melting. thanks again
I use the wicks ..of my broken taper candles..😊
Can also fill egg card board cartons for for starters.. 😅
those are awesome ideas too. you are a wealth of information

Watching from Eastern North Carolina ❤
Glad it was helpful and thanks for checking it out 🙂 I would love to see how your candles turn out if you want to tag me on Instagram 🙂🙂🙂 my handle is @mymagicalhome_jacque
Awesome Jacque! Great idea! Thanks for sharing! I don’t use candles anymore but if I did, I would give it a try!
thanks so much for checking it out Angie!
You made some amazing candles!!!! I am in awe that you can do that!!! You are so crafty!! Thanks for sharing and have a fabulous evening 💞xoxo 💞
Thank you so much Jen! I couldn't believe how easy it was or how much money I was able to save!
That's so awesome 👌 👏 now I HAVE to go to dollar tree and do this one for my flannel scent I have been saving the last drops of and sniffing whenever I need a fix🤣🤩 now it can live again in the home🤩🙏
I can hook you up with some wicks 😃😃😃😃 I have oodles
Jacque, I have a few candles that I really enjoyed and did not want to waste the unused wax. Thanks for the video and useful information.
I have a suggestion to speed up the wax melting. Preheating the candles in warm water should keep the glass from breaking. Use a second pan with warm water to start bringing the temperature up, then move the candles to the hot water. Thanks again for the video! Best of luck!
That is a wonderful idea to preheat the candles!! Thanks so much for sharing it with me and for checking out the video. I hope you have an amazing weekend
This is flipping awesome! Thank you for sharing. I’ve got many candles I could reuse this way. ✨
YAY I am so glad you like it!!!
where did you get the candle pot for a loose waxes?
I got it on amazon. It should be linked in the description 💗💗
@@mymagicalhome Just FYI. The links you refer to are not found in description. the candle pot and the kit with sticks/holes.🤥
@wintercame I apologize, I will fix that promptly. Thank you for letting me know.
Hey Jacque! This is such a unique video! Yes we’ve all been there the broken candles! 😅
Hi Tere! Thanks for checking it out!
Hi Jacque, Hope all is well. Love your recycle DIY candles.
Thank you! 😊 I hope you are doing wonderful too Annie
What a great idea for reusing old candles. I've made candles using old thrift store teacups. Definitely going to start keeping my candle remnants. 😊
Thanks so much for checking it out! I think the teacup candles are adorable and I bet it would be so easy to make with old wax
This is amazing! Great idea and video!! Thank you for sharing 💖
Thanks for watching and being my amazing supportive friend. I am grateful for you always Britt
Beautiful results, and thanks for the ventilation tip!
thank you so much for checking it out. I hope you are having a lovely day.
Thank you so much for your video. It helped me out a lot.
I'm thrilled it was helpful ☺️ thanks so much for checking it out.
I'm using my old olive and jelly then they will have lids too
what a good idea! thanks for sharing it
Love the stick ideal! Definitely going to try that, thanks 🌹
🥰🥰🥰 glad it was helpful
Soo blessed candles kill germs I think blessings ✨
Thank you so much and I agree about the germs. I hope you are having a nice weekend
I love this! I need to buy me some wicks so I can try this! Those candle jars with the lids are great for cute storage! I just to scrape the remaining wax out and put it in my wax warmer. Then the jars get used for q-tips and other toiletries. But I love the idea of making new candles!
OMG wicks are actually so inexpensive on amazon! I have oodles left over because of other projects. thanks so much for checking it out Brandi!
@@mymagicalhome oh that’s good to know! I’ll look into it!
Hey Jacque! Such a great idea! When I worked in a local boutique, we would have a candle burning all day and I learned if you let the candle burn long enough for the entire top layer to melt it burns evenly all the way down! So now I leave my candles lit for several hours before blowing them out! Thanks for sharing your experience!😊💞✨
yes! you definitely have to let the candle melt long enough or you are asking for it to burn funny. thanks so much for checking this out
thing is, I learned this too. Some candles just won't do that.. They'll tunnel regardless, either because they'd needed a second wick for the amount of wax, or because of quality.
@nikedoesthings ❤️thanks for the tip
We loved your video! Great idea to reuse old candles! 🙂
