Thank you so much. I learned a lot from you. I just bought a candle kit on amazon, I wanted to get into candle making. I will be turning 60 and need a new hobby. This is awesome, I love your videos, I’m glad I found you ❤. I have saved your videos to watch again. ❤
@@EclipseBotanica 🙏🙏❤️🇨🇦🕯. Thank you ! I watched a lot of videos, I found yours more helpful. I’m so happy I found you. I have bought candles from stores, the wax always melt in the middle and sink in the middle, with lots of wax around it, then it burns with a black burn inside. Then it’s hard to relight the candle again then the wick wouldn’t lit. It’s annoying. I still have jar candles I can’t use. Such a waste. I never knew how to remove the wax out of the jar. It’s so burnt. Needs to be thrown out
Hello - thank you so much for your informative videos / by far the best information for beginners - I am testing the waters to Make my own candles and your videos have so much helpful information. however One topic I’d like to research before trying candles is the fragrance oils. Could you recommend dog friendly scents and which suppliers carry those scents. I love a home that smells good however I have my 2 yr old boxer mix baby girl and I would like to make them safe for her as well. What would you recommend for pet owners looking for safe oils that will not harm pets ? Thank you so much
They talk about women supporting other women. You my friend are just that. I enjoy watching your videos so much. You give such great advice. I watched your video on sobriety the other day. 256 days No alcohol. Best thing I ever did.
I absolutely love burning candles. I do not want to start a business (I may be a bit too lazy for that😁) and I am very excited to make some for personal use. Thank you!
I can just imagine how great your candles are because you're so positively passionate about them, wonderful videos and you're a excellent teacher. l wanted to use the same wax combination but just didn't know how it would work with the fragrance oils. I took notes and can't wait to start, talk about a great motivational speaker! Thank you for sharing 😊
11:26 thank you for this, as a beginner, testing and all, I stirred for like 30 seconds. Once I tried to take the mould off, I found my fragrance swimming on their own 😂😂😂❤
Such amazing tips for all new candle business beginners to learn. I’m in the candle Industry and have two locations for business, one in Ireland and one in the uk. We make a lot of candles here in our shops, in the beginning it was very difficult to find what type of wax to use, we tried so so many but eventually sat on the right one and we are using that one since. Best of luck to all new beginners 🕯️❤️
Fantastic first video! I learned so much will be watching ALL your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience, it will come back to you in even more success.
hey Sarah, nice job. Just to add some clarification/info on the Vybar. The other Vybar you were referring to is called Vybar 103 and is for higher melt point waxes. However, there is also a 3rd vyrbar called Vybar 343 and it protects the mottling in mottling waxes for makers that like the mottled effect. Otherwise, other vybars will remove the mottling. hope that helps. :)
I truly want to thank you so much for these tips. I’ve always wanted to make candles i love to smell thiem and light them to scent the house this truly helped me to purchase what i need to. Thanks again. It was awesome notice.
I already got my stuff so I’m happy I found this before I started making my candles. I didn’t even think about hot throw would not have a scent (these words are very new for me lol) thank you so much for these tips
This video was very helpful! I love how soothing your voice is! Thanks for being honest and transparent and straight to the point! Thank you for the encouragement! Do not give up! You have a new subscriber here!!!
There’s a science behind everything there are patterns and methods that work best but it shouldn’t be a hit or miss when it comes to candle wicks yet is baby candle Making is more of an art than science in any case cause someone recommend a really good book for it
Hi..I just started making candles and I'm enjoying it alot.. A question i have is. Is there a certain step to avoid your candles from getting a film on the top ? I enjoy watching videos of you sharing your process in making them.
Thank you for sharing , just started my journey in candle business this year , unfortunately here in Cyprus we don’t get many supplies of what you mention but it was such great help though . I agree testing testing is the way to go . Good luck 👍
Thank you so much for this video, I do have a question, I follow all your guidelines and everything does it mean my testing process will take long enough
This is such a fantastic video, thanks so much for sharing! I’m just starting in my candle making journey and was wondering what ratio of coco 83 and soy 444 waxes do you use? Thanks!
Hi there! Love your videos! May I ask what wick do you use? I know you said Eco but specially which one? I’m having such a hard time finding a good wooden wick for my candles. I make them for myself lol
You make your wooden wicks? That’s genius! Must save you so much money! Plus that’s quite a talent. I use eco-1 wicks. Unfortunately they are very hard to find these days so I may have to switch things up soon
Good afternoon needing some help with my math formula My tins of 4oz and my desired fill is 3oz with 8%fo I've started with two candles is this formula correct 3*3=9oz 9oz /1.08=8.33oz wax 9-8.33=0.67oz fo 0.67*28.35=18.9945=19grams of fragrance oil If I'm using two oils @ 0.67oz I would slip it in half which would be 0.333 oz of each oil
I use aluminum foil for the rare containers I don't have lids for during the curing process if I'm not able to a plastic dust cover. Plus when I use those plastic dust, I place a piece of tape over the hole to seal in the fragrance during the curing process. If I know ahead of time the candle is being shipped, I just shrink wrap it.
@@EclipseBotanica I got mine from Amazon. I know Wholesale Supplies Plus sales shrink wrap in all sizes also. I'm sure other places sales it also but for now I got what I need.

Thank you for the videos. It is really helpful. I have some question, does 8% of FO can satisfied with all kinds of container with different diameter and different weigth of wax? For instance if the container contains 350g of wax and the FO should be taking from 8% or more than 8%? Please help me by feedback. Thanks
I use a few different fragrance oil brands! Candle Science, the Flaming Candle, Loan Star, California Candle supply, I’m always looking to try new ones too!
Thank you! I learned so much and will learn by your testing also. I will keep on watching!!!!

Thanku so much this one video has helped me more than the past 2 months of 1000 of videos . That's it I'm bindging the rest of ur channel
😂 thanks! I’m glad!
Which one is a good wax to use???
She literally said it in the video
Have you considered beeswax and paraffin mix? Not a fan of soy wax because it's good. Would love to see you experiment with that.. or your thoughts?
I would love to test out beeswax 🥰 I haven’t tinkered with my formula in a while but I have considered testing out mixes of beeswax and coconut 🐝 🥥 ❤️
Thank you so much!! I’m gonna try!
Hello, what wax do you used?
Thank you so much for this video, I do have a question, I follow all your guidelines and everything does it mean my testing process will take long enough
Just found you - really enjoyable to watch - thank you!

Hi, do you have a website? If so, please let me know what it is. Thank you
Set bought amazon had no instruction wih it x
when you are talking about temperatures, do you mean f or c?
Thank you for asking! It’s F, I should clarify in my future videos

thank you it helps a lot
You're welcome!
Do you add steric acid to your candles ? Apparently it helps with fragrance?
Good info
Thanks Sarah ♥️
Thanks Laurie 🥰
Can you help me with making my candles please
Thank you!
Hello - thank you so much for your informative videos / by far the best information for beginners - I am testing the waters to Make my own candles and your videos have so much helpful information. however One topic I’d like to research before trying candles is the fragrance oils. Could you recommend dog friendly scents and which suppliers carry those scents. I love a home that smells good however I have my 2 yr old boxer mix baby girl and I would like to make them safe for her as well. What would you recommend for pet owners looking for safe oils that will not harm pets ? Thank you so much
I don’t personally know which ones are pet friendly so I would check with the manufacturer or the fragrance company!
Can I buy your candles in Australia??
The containers that I want to use are all different sizes. Any recommendations on how to approach this
Thank you for the videos. It is really helpful. I have some question, does 8% of FO can satisfied with all kinds of container with different diameter and different weigth of wax? For instance if the container contains 350g of wax and the FO should be taking from 8% or more than 8%? Please help me by feedback. Thanks
Hi! Thanks for this question, so no matter how much wax you are working with, your FO% will stay the same unless you decide to tweak your formula.
Hi Sarah what the essence brand do you recommend? I live in Australia, maybe I can find here. Thanks for your information ❤
I use a few different fragrance oil brands! Candle Science, the Flaming Candle, Loan Star, California Candle supply, I’m always looking to try new ones too!
It would really help if you used the common name for waxes and not just numbers
