I absolutely love it when creators leave in all the troubles that can happen. Thank you for not editing out the spills and such❤️
I use Ecosoy Melt And I Melt To 80, add fragrance and mica at 70 and pour at 60 come out beautiful no frosting and a lovely shine x
I had terrible frosting issues with golden wax 494 - tried pouring at every temperature but still frosting. I've now ordered some Ecosoy melt wax so hoping that helps. Thanks for your tip on temperatures 😁
@@naomic4390 I’m having the same issue with Golden Wax 494, I have tried absolutely everything I have read and still get terrible frosting. Glad it’s not just me!
@@getinmyhideout i did lots of research on the best wax for melts and golden wax 494 always came up top but i think its terrible. Hopefully the ecosoy wax will be better 🤞
@@naomic4390 me too! I ordered two boxes as soon as I could (due to not being able to get it anywhere) because I thought it would be the best, but will learn from my mistake! Good luck using the EcoSoy wax! 🤞🏽👍🏽
Look into an embossing gun. I have one with 2 settings and the 1st doesn’t produce a fan effect but gets plenty warm. I use it to level all my items that sink. Also, try using a stick (chopstick or my preference craft/popsicle stick) to help guid the liquid wax. Hold the stick perpendicular to the mold touching the lip of your pouring pot. The liquid will pour down the stick to where you want it, instead of splashing or splattering. I do that with my FO to avoid drips as well. Hope any of that helped! I really enjoy this mold and for a first go they turned out great - my tests always end up looking like a science experiment gone wrong.
Thanks so much for the suggestion
Sell them as waxidents. I managed to explode a Pyrex jug full of gorgeous bright red wax, I walked out and closed the door 🤦♀️
How fantastic "waxidents" I LOVE that
Waxident 🤣🤣🤣
I make 2 colour and have dabbled with more once your get the hang of it it gets easier, I find double pours the best technic, have 2 jugs of different colours and pour both at the same time xx
Thank you for posting this. I love seeing crafters being real because we can't be perfect all the time. It makes me feel more comfortable with my "fails" and learn from them.
I love your profile name Teaspoon Soapery, that's lovely
@@EdensSecret1 Thank you! It is our business name as well. It is named after the "spoon theory" that is a special part of the chronic illness community.
I think they turned out AWESOME! Sometimes as creators, we're really hard on ourselves. The process was rocky (and entertaining to watch) but the end result was inspiring. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Loved this Karen, you did make me laugh out loud though with your “Seriously” comment when the red spilled, keep them coming, I have learned so much from you xx
I’m glad you left all the mistakes in much respect because that shows everyone is human. Even on UA-cam people are not perfect.
Set on a heating pad or a electric hot plate on low setting
Yes, I need to buy one of those, because that's what I was thinking if only I had a hot plate.
I like the heating pad idea!
@@EdensSecret1 look at electric griddle it is big and flat it has a temperature knob where you could probably set low enough not to hurt the silicone and keep the wax warm. I call it a hot plate but it is a griddle that I was talking about you might put a tea cloth or a hand towel between to protect your mold.
I think there were still fab 😍..can I just ask though with pouring with the temperature after dropping so low would it nit affect the scent throw @EdensSercet1
@@berniehyland9103 I really truly believe it would not affect your hot throw at all! I've been making candles for 8 years and luxury candles for a year. Now if you were using coconut wax, palm wax or similar you would, they require a 200 degree pour. But soy products, even if you have a paraffin blend of soy, they can be poured very low. Some people pour as it gets hazy from being cool. They swear by it. I'm not an expert, but feel confident in this answer! Sorry I missed your question, I was in hospital for a week. Not covid-19 related! Hope that clears up your question!
Jill
So glad you post the good as well as the bad, so many other's don't show the journey to perfection like you.
The heat guns that card makers use, for embossing dont have air, as you dont want the embossing powder to blow around, so check out a paper craft shop.
Thanks for telling me because I didn't know they didn't blow I thought they did, we learn something new everyday.
I love that your real and show mistakes, But they're cute as can be. Thank you
Absolutely Pam
I LOVE that you’ve shown us the mistakes because then when we mess up (and we will it’s part of the process) we’ll just think keep going like Karen did we’ve got this! Thank you for your videos they are so helpful Xx
Absolutely Kerry
Going back over older videos and so much is learned. I've always found your videos inspiring! 😊. You always give us the failures with the wins and I appreciate that as another maker. ❤
I hope you are doing well. I miss your videos! I miss your voice. I miss everything about you! Love to you and your family.
So you know. You are the one who inspired me years ago to just take a leap and go for it! I owe my business inspiration and go get it attitude to you Karen! 😊😊😊
Hi, I love them. Yes what a mess. But,a beautiful mess it is. What a great recovery. As always beautiful. Be safe and have an awesome day
Do you know why I have been a yearssss long viewer? I started out learning MP from watching you for years before I did it.(I was addicted to the sound of your knife hitting the table when you cut your loaves lol ). then when you started doing cupcakes , I watched even though I didn't do them...same with CP , I learned how to do bath bombs from you ( the kitty litter box was genius ! ) and now with you doing melts, here I am again........ reason why I have stayed, you are FUN , informative and you show us your goofs as well as your greats. I , like so many others, have ooops and we learn by watching even when the masters' goof up sometimes ! I will be a faithful watcher of your channel as long as you bless us with your MASSIVE talents !
Kathryn as you know this comment means SO MUCH to me I really appreciate it thanks for sticking around
I'm pretty much the same as Kathryn....I don't make soap or candles or anything like that....I'm more into fiber crafts and beaded jewellery....But I love to watch people being creative, mistakes and all.....They still turned out very pretty and I would gladly buy them if I wasn't in Australia....
The end result is great and I am sure you will crack the process. Making my pillar candles in different colours I do each layer separately and let previous layers set before proceeding. Time consuming, but an idea. I got a crafters heat gun from Hobbycraft, which is not as fierce. This channel just keeps on giving. Thanks for sharing Karen.
Good idea Nick
Hi Karen I love your videos warts and all. I’ve just completed a course in candle making and soy wax needs to be heated to 85c then fragrance added first as some fragrance oils discolours the wax then the colour. It has then to sit and cool til it gets to approx 57.2c before pouring. It’s not a matter of heating ur moulds it’s the wax temperature at time of pour. Also wax is measured in weight not volume along with the fragrance when candle making and wax melts etc. Hope this is of some help.
I think they turned out very pretty!! I think glass bottles would hold the heat better, and just keep a warming lamp close by too.
Usually when working with multiple colors of wax to make something like that, I still work with one color at a time to keep my other wax liquid before adding dye to it. Fantastic job and it came out beautifully.
Thanks Melissa
Wow love those!!!!! Wish u werent so far away!
Hi Karen
How do we make pink wax? What colors to mix to get pink
Red and white to make pink x
We have used a low temperature oven to relevel the tops takes a little longer than the heat gun but works perfectly x (heat the oven and keep on a warming setting - worked like magic - so not too hot )
On hair dryers they have diffusers. A big round attachment that lets you dry without messing up the style. Never heard of one on a heat gun.
this may sound stupid but could you not have warmed the wax back up in the microwave?
Karen another beautiful successful well made product I think they are awesome!! Keep making them and maybe change up that transparent purple 💜 beside the yellow 💛
Jump in. That’s my motto. I am happy that you posted your mishaps. Even with your issues, they still came out great!
So much beautiful colour. Maybe one of the kitchen blow torches that is used to caramelize sugar on top of a brulee put on low might work as it doesn't have any blowing ability. Thankyou for sharing all the pour, nobody is perfect all of the time. They do look pretty Karen.
I'm 2 years late, but watching this in 2023 and my thought is possibly a heat lamp - like restaurants have to keep food hot after it's finished cooking and it's waiting to be given to the customer? Might be able to set up a heat lamp station to set your melted wax in while it's waiting to be used.
Maybe glass pots instead of plastic to hold the heat as well, they turned out cute, thanks for sharing ❤
I think a heat lamp would melt them without blowing. It might take a little longer but it might be more effective.
Great idea Candace
Happy Thursday night Karen those are really pretty. I love the color combinations. You had a little hard time but you came through it ☺️. Thanks for sharing have a good night 💗🕊️🌹🤗
Happy Thursday night to you too Violet, beautiful name
@@EdensSecret1 Good morning 🌞 thank you💗🕊️🌹🌺🤗
Made me smile so much today, thank you for sharing you mishaps, so pleased the end result was beautiful.
That was quite entertaining LOL I always love your videos and your stories.
Most prof candlemakers use metal jugs (like small milk jugs); it is easy to keep those at the desired temperature in a water bath (au bain Marie) - also the wax won't set up as easily as in a plastic jug.
IMHO candle colourants work better than mica; the fluid ones are super easy to work with.
Wax behaves a bit like MP soap; once a film has formed on the surface, the next layer won't attach very well.
Keep up the good work and have a wonderful day!
Would spraying with rubbing alcohol work? Would it help layers to stick together?
Heat gun I think is the best idea.
Could you stick the pots onto a heating pad?
Yes xx
Well done Karen, another great video, sorry I had to laugh when the orange splashed out, but it just made it fun, as always they look great tx
Oh Toni I laughed too, lol
They are very nice. I know it took me a couple tries to get them right and since they were going to be for wholesale, they had to be perfect! I call mine tye- dye colors. I also found out they needed to be warmer and more fluid. Of course a little bit of blending occurred on the edges of each color, but it added to the affect. They come out beautifully, all and all don't you think. Over time it gets easier and not so many bloopers 😉😁
Cheers 💕👍💕
They were better than I expected after un-moulding
i like it. the colors are nice, i think you may need to move a bit faster before wax dries
Love this video showing the ups and downs of learning how to make wax melts. Yours turned out a lot better than mine ❤️
I don’t burn candles or melt wax. However, your wax melts are so fun and colorful I might reconsider.
It's a very cute and lovely soap ~~ The colors are also pleasant colors~~ I watch the pretty video well ~~
So clever Karen always doing something knew I love it. Thanks for sharing.💕💕
Lovely to hear from you Eve
@@EdensSecret1 Aww thank you.. 💕💕
Karen, I watched this for the fourth time. I use a craft gun on my candles. It does blow, but not as hard or fast as your large heat gun. I like them better and they are only 12$ to 15$. Not a bad price, lol. Maybe it would help you out?
I love your wax melts videos and your bath bomb videos. It took me a long time with your help...to dial in a bath bomb recipe I can use in the humid southern USA, lol! Thanks for all you do!!! ❤😊❤
A hair dryer with a diffuser should work.
Makes me scared to try making myself some haha. They look lush these.. such pretty colours ♡ thanks for always sharing with us xxxxx
Wax Melts are pretty easy, lol
@@EdensSecret1 oh really hehe i might get a kit from fizzy whiz i think ut is to try 🤞 rhank you for always helping us xoxox
Do any of you not use a wax melt burner (like a crockpot) that you can adjust the temperature on !! My main concern is just how much fragrance do yall put in your melted wax to be able to smell them??
My next question is you all are using math the hard way lol so what i am trying to figure out is how many ounces of fragrance to how much wax melt !! Everyone has told me like a oz or so to one pound of wax ??? So if anyone has a problem solving solution can you please help me out!!!
I had a good laugh at this video 😂 made my day
They look super pretty though
Don't be so hard on yourself Karen!! You should see how my first soap bars turned out lol well they didn't come out too bad but wasn't what i hoped it to be. Specially after the heart ache of throwing the first batch Out entirely since i used the wrong lye. 😒😣 lol I like that you are showing videos of you making mistakes ! It makes me feel not so bad about mine so thank you!! Your always a blessing to me. Take care and best wishes as always!!!
My heat gun is from a company called "chicago electric" from harbour freight. So they do make them.........it has 14 tems with or without fan on high or los I use it for my melts and candle tops. It has a high fan for cool down mode. Have fun thank you!
Thanks so much Jess
@@EdensSecret1 wow my typos it was late for me.
If you leave the heat gun far away from the lents might help. Anyhow I love your videos as you are so true and sincere. God bless you.
Karen, I love you because you show us the flaws of soap making and wax melt/candle making. Your one of the few who do! Most edit their videos to the 10th degree and you learn nothing! Everytime I watch one of your videos or my friend Holly make a product, I know I'm seeing the real deal. When I first started watching soaping videos years ago, I thought everyone was so tidy!!! Poppy cock! I made soap and it looked like WW2 blew up in my soap room! Now over the years I've found little tricks, but I'm still messy at times. That will never change. But Holly explained how most soapers do a ton of editing, lol!
I wish we could edit away dishes! That would be a gift. At the end of the day someone has to clean up. They just don't show it and edit out the tiny spills and such!
Thank you for always being honest with us Karen! I appreciate it, and I know others do too!
Jill Gross
So true Jill
Hii from New Zealand 🇳🇿
I loved the colours and all the mistakes ty 💗
Lately I have been using the waffle moulds & blending colors together, ohhh they are gorgeous & smell divine 😍 yours are beautiful ty sooo much 😊 xo
Thanks Brenda I have the waffle moulds too looking forward to using them
I've never made anything in regards to your channel, but gave it a go with the wax melts ❤ it has taken me a few months to research soap making, yet you have inspired me to first try melt n pour, ty Eden I hope you get my first ever pics of my wax melts and coming soon the melt n pour pics hehehe, have an amazing day when it comes to you, bless you and your dedication xo 💖
Karen i love that sound too....when its coming from the mould..you are so funny..you make me laff.....and they turned out beautiful 🌈🌈🌈😄🌈🌈🌈
Loved it
Hi Karen, I still really like these wax melts, pretty colors
Heat gun that doesn't blow= heat lamp ?
They came out nice. Very colorful. I'd buy them
Thank you for video you explain things sooo well thank you. I am new to candle making. Love wax melts thanks. Yes I love your accent hope okay with me saying this. I am from US
I think they turned out very nice! But I have a question...I make numerous different wax melts n have over 60 molds but I have never heard of pre-heating the silicone mold in microwave. Why did you do that? If it would help in the process any at all I will start doing that. Great job! Thank you for sharing!
A heat gun that doesn’t blow would be amazing, I’m looking for one too! Please let me know if you’ve found one 😂✨x
Great video Karen. How would you break these melts to put in a burner? Thanks
Ah Karen I'm a new soaper and I love you're videos you are so down to earth and this video made me chuckle! I'm a run befor I walk person too :)
Welcome Trisha
They still came out beautiful ❤
Maybe not hold the heat gun so close to the mold? It may take longer but may not blow the wax around so much
I like that you show mistakes and that they come out great love them
Hello, thank you for a brilliant and detailed video. I am just starting out making wax melts. So the more wax you add the more fragrance you add? Just as long as it’s 10% of the amount of wax you use?
It’s always 10 per cent fragrance to wax hun
Always check in the description where you buy your fragrances from as some say 1-8%.
I was thinking a steamer might do it. Would that affect the wax at all? 🤷♀️ Thank you for sharing your creative process with us! They turned out pretty, even if a bit of a disaster in the making.
Yeah, no I don't think a steamer would be any good for wax but thanks so much for taking the time to suggest something
Hi Karen, I’m just a beginner and have started going through your videos. Can I ask you about glitters? I searched for candle glitters and bought some from Amazon but when they arrived they are cosmetic glitters (for nails etc). Would you know if they are suitable for melts? Also, do you do workshops?
I made some wax melts yesterday myself.. some days its great ..no spillages at all...other days everything goes wrong and I think..why did I start this...... ......😎😆🌈💋
Not just me then?
These came out so cool looking and ty so much for your great videos and I've been binge watching while I'm at work and I'm so inspired and you just amaze me and I hope I can order some soap,wax and other thing's soon and just hearing your voice brightens up my day 💖 I'm a new subscriber and your so sweet and cheerful I look forward to your videos 🥰 You always keep it real and put your mistakes in because nobody's perfect and I love that oh and I'm from the US I live in Ogden UT 💕
Hi Amber thanks so much for stopping by and for the Sub. Ogden UT is a new one for me so going to look up on google maps to see where you are. I love doing that.
You could break it up and sell as unicorn brittle, I think it looks fab .....xx
Yes
@@EdensSecret1 I have the little dot mould so it's all individual, and was going to do it as unicorn poop lol...xx
I have the same scales as you darlin, I spilled fragrance oil on it, and it melted the scales 😆❤️
Yes, the fragrance does melt some plastics, I've done it many times
Hiya, look for a heating station that electricians and computer engineers might use. Not use if would suit but worth looking at.
Very interesting ❤ The mica in wax melts is very pretty Is there any way to keep the mica from settling on the bottom of the warmer?
I think a warmer tray would work well AND if the wax had been hotter would also have worked
Just luv ya! Keep going! What a fun mold! -Momo
Aww thanks Mary Rose
I'm not sure a heat gun exists that doesn't blow hot air. Here's an idea. Do you know those large, flat, rectangular electric griddles that people put on counters and use to make pancakes and such? Use one of those on low heat and place your molds on top that way the bottom stays heated. Then, to do 6 colors, do 1 or 2 at a time, pour those in the heated molds and make 2 more colors and repeat until 6 are done. Or do all 6 and just reheat the ones that cool off too much.
Heat lamp
Domt know of non blower heat gun but u could put in oven on like 259 on cookie sheet
How about holding a iron above the melts. Of corse do not let the iron touch the melts.
It's worth a try Fem
Looks soooo pretty!!
This was like a Bob Ross painting… the whole time like nooo noo what’s happening… and then at the end to be like …oh…. I don’t hate it… I like it? It looks like a kawaii keyboard to me
Couldvyou pop the whole thing in the microwave ir the oven for a few seconds to smooth it out
Oh boy I could of cried for you but they came out okay pity we don't have smelly vision. Thank you very entertaining will watch more.
Those look beautiful, and thanks for little tips you always give. Did you make or buy the molds for these?? Their huge! Lol xoxo from the states🌞
I was sent the moulds for free from Siliconemoulds.com
Thank you for sharing they are really pretty
Thanks Angela
I simply adore your accent. May I ask where you’re from? My first guess is Scotland 🏴
England....Though not sure what part.....
Durham originally I think, now in the Lake District from what I know x
I love the pop up sound 🤩 Very nice colours you used micas for the colours?
Me too
I can’t get Ecosoya Q210 (Ecosoya CB135) in Australia anymore
You should use a batter dispenser, I do n it’s much easier then using a jug to pout the Melts and candles.
Try a small bag of Ecosoya Q210 aka Ecosoya CB135 Soy Wax + 1tbsp Beeswax per 250g Soy Wax n see if you notice a difference
I was wondering can you make Soy Wax Melts with a Scented Jelly Wax center ?
Glade have made them and I was wondering would you be keen at giving it a go?
I used to do the CB135 plus beeswax when I first started trying wax melts & candles 10 years ago, that's how I did it. I think gel in wax would be a good idea for you, not sure how the gel performs in a burner though, does it work?
Hi would anyone be able to give some advice please I’ve been making my own melts and as they dry in the burner they dry with lines and cracks does anyone know why this it? Any help is appreciated
You could call these Picasso! :)
They are lovely ☺️
I’m late as always, but you are so amazing for this 😭
I have always used colors made just for wax but I see you always use micas. Does it make any difference?
I like the mica's because they look lovely when the wax is melted
With a little more practice those melts will be stunning!
Thanks Zoe
Where do you get those little jugs to disperse your colors?
Hi Karen, have you ever gone over the max % of fragrance your wax will hold and was it okay? My new wax has an 8% max fragrance hold, but I'd rather use your 10% trick to figure amounts rather than use my calculator. Any advice? Thanks!
The advice from the supplier is there for a reason, so I would stick to the 8%. The calculation is not that difficult;
😄 for example, 500 grs of wax: 500:100*8= 40 grams of fragrance.
I made wax melts for myself and put too much fragrance in (didn’t measure anything just winged it) and they started exploding when in the burner lmao be careful
I love these!!😍😍
Quite lovely!
Maybe like a heat lamp x
You can never have to much glitter.
I agree
