Hi, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill, such a generous thing to do. You have inspired me and helped me to get my motivation back again, I lost my mojo somewhere along the way - so again, thank you. I love your content xx
I've got to say, i first found you a couple years ago but lately I've been searching and researching wax melt making and you've made the best videos with the most information about wax melts! You don't leave anytime out! I really don't think you have enough likes!! ❤ Hope you are doing great! And thank you for the wealth of information on your video's. I appreciate the fact i can find everything i need to know in one place.
You are such an inspiration to me and cant thank you enough for sharing not only your recipes but videos. I always look forward to what you have next in store. Thankyou again love your work x
You are brilliant teacher Karen for people want to learn its amazing to pass on your talent and knowledge to others .. every day is school day love it Karen xxx❤❤
Absolutely love watching you, I’ve just purchased Anais it was my very favourite perfume. Thank you for all the great tips and advice you give us on your channel ❤
Hi Karen, Thank you for sharing your wisdom that comes from years of experience. You inspire me and so many others in our businesses to try new products. I'm sure you've told us in other videos, but can you remind us of where you purchased your molds? Many thanks!
Great video. I'm a total newbie at wax melts. I can see what happens to the moulds when you heat them but why do you need to do that please? Love the double pouring, it's a lot like some of the resin craft techniques
I know this vid is kinda old but I hope you see this to try it. Try using the frother and then hit it with the heat gun to see if that pops the bubbles. It’ll just be that thin top layer and you can hit it from a distance. And gradually get closer.
Anais Anais was my first perfume, given by my mom in a handbag when I was 13 in 1981! Dear memories indeed and that's why I have the dupe too! Does it accelerate in soap, Karen, it probably does because of the florals? Because the company in England I bought it from (with a woman, but she doesn't sell fragrances anymore now) only gave info when you had FB which I don't have. Thanks, Karen! I'm still watching the video but I am sure the waxmelts will be beautiful!
The perfume that I have been wearing, since I was 17 (i'm 42 now) is Curve. I'm not sure I would want that in a wax melt though. Does anyone know of Curve? And not Curve for Men, it comes in a blue and silver tin. Smells so pretty. I rarely wear perfume anymore, so I don't know what is really out on the market these days. When I was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY younger, 13sh, I remember Vanilla Fields....and eXclamation! I think that is how it was on the bottle...black and white? the bottle kind of looked like one too. Can't remember too much anymore. I would like to go to a department store or wherever they sell these perfumes to get a good a sniff and see what they smell like, that is for sure!!! These are so fun to watch and very informative as well! Thank you for the video!!!!
Hello. Quick question…. When you stirred your fragrance into the waxes you only stirred for maybe 20 seconds each. Why do you not stir for 2 minutes? I ask because that’s what I’ve always done and have always been told. 😇. Love your channel!!!
Thank you for sharing. I am looking to start making melts. I live in Trinidad and everything is hard to come by on the island. I am calculating how much wax would hold in 1 full mold (6 cavity bars). If you can help, please do as I have to import all ingrediants i need and I want to shop smart. Thanks for sharing once again. I found you last week and i am in love.... best wishes!!!
You can pour water into your mould to find out how much wax you'll need. So if each compartment holds 60g of wax (10g of that will be fragrance the other 50g will be wax) hope that helps
All the Super Candle Maker's never use Mika in there wax.. But I think there're both beautiful.. Okay you just answered my question.. I have the Candle color block's for candles & Mica, but that's it..
What's the point of it looking so nice when mixing and pouring when you put in warming bowl to melt a cube and the mica sinks to the bottom of the bowl leaving a clear liquid layer on top? How do I stop that from happening? tia :)
So, if u mess up on a color after you poured it can u melt it down in your vessel,reheat it fix it, repair & have it still come out right? On Wax Melts..
At 22:50 while you were explaining the CLP, I noticed in the blue wax that it looked like an abstract man holding something LOL The things we see in the oddest places LOL
Im not certain but I wouldn’t - but having said that the alcohol does evaporate so Im not exactly sure on this one, please let us know if you find anything out
@@EdensSecret1 I'm afraid to even try it 😂 Maybe I should & see They do have to cure for like 2 weeks so I'm sure the alcohol would b evaporated by then & also maybe evaporate immediately but the 2 weeks should work I'm hoping 🤞 I'll let u know
@@EdensSecret1 I tried it with isopropyl alcohol & mica It was a disaster!!! The alcohol like mixed in with the wax & they didn't dry like the color mica & they broke off taking them out of the molds DO NOT USE ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL MIXED WITH MICA!!!
Hey Karen, your amazing by the way sharing all your little secrets, love watching your videos, I’ve learnt a lot, I’m not to sure when your get this message but, in this double pour video Part 1, you have them pipettes you use, that you used for anais anais, been trying to find a similar one but been struggling, if could you send me a link for them if you have it, that would be great. I’m from Sunny Somerset and the weather here this morning is gorgeous, trying to send you a pic but not sure how to, lol. Happy melting my lovely. Tina age 53 💐

I love adding mica to my wax melts x
I always weigh my fragrance oil in grams rather than ml as some oils are heavier then others x .. your melts look beautiful x
Great video. I'm a total newbie at wax melts. I can see what happens to the moulds when you heat them but why do you need to do that please? Love the double pouring, it's a lot like some of the resin craft techniques
I think it makes the melts shiny that's what I was told
I never thought of mixing mica when I get a better set I'll try it I make soap so I'll have to try that technique. 💙
Me and my partner have a load and started noticing we can mix some dye chips/micas kind of fun 😂
I miss your videos so much
I have the Anahi’s Anais perfume and I love it
Love your garden, I am in Australia now but from York
I know this vid is kinda old but I hope you see this to try it. Try using the frother and then hit it with the heat gun to see if that pops the bubbles. It’ll just be that thin top layer and you can hit it from a distance. And gradually get closer.

1981 I haven't tried it in soap but I would expect it to accelerate like crazy.

I've never hear of Curve but I will sure sniff it out next time I'm out.
No there isn’t a dupe of curve for women in fragrance oils that I ‘m aware of anyway. There is one for men though. HTH!
Do you have a video using GW494 wax
Hello. Quick question…. When you stirred your fragrance into the waxes you only stirred for maybe 20 seconds each. Why do you not stir for 2 minutes? I ask because that’s what I’ve always done and have always been told. 😇. Love your channel!!!
Great video as usual! What temp do you add fragrance oil? I find the wax cools down quite quickly so I add it pretty much straight away.
75f (a lot of people add it cooler but like you I find it cools down the wax too quickly so I add mine at 75)
Oh my goodness that's my favorite is Creme Brulee.. Is there a U.S. supplier TJAT has a good one?? Gorgeous.
Thank you for your very informative videos, brilliant for a beginner like me! Can I ask where you buy the glitters you are using? they are so pretty
Ah thanks for reminding me Ill pop a link in the description in a minute
All done link in description x

Going to take a look now Kathryn
OH MY GOSH IT'S LIKE A SKELETON
Hi, I’m just starting out in a very small way doing melt bars. Can you recommend a sole trader insurance for craft fairs etc? Thank you 😊
Check out Ian Wallace Craft Insurance
Hi goodmorning!!! I was wondering where can I find the exact molds you are using on this video?! Thank you very much Mandy ( Netherlands)
What is the difference between mica and mica shimmer? Is it used differently? Is it same but wording has changed? I am so very new at this!
I am mr.sreenadh from india . I like your nice job.i also soap maker.
If you find the surface of your wax is frothy, simply blast it for 1 second with the heat gun and the bubbles instantly disappear! :)
Thanks so much
@@EdensSecret1 it's my pleasure! If it hadn't been for you I'd never have started my wax business! Your help has been invaluable to me! ❤
Where do you get your fragrances from
What’s a good site to buy fragrance in the uk, that balances quality with cost?
Hi do you have a link for your foil please as I like to see if I can get it in blue if you can help me please thank you 😊
I never knew of anyone else doing double pouring there wax melts or Candles. I thought i was weird by doing that..
how do you get the pyrex cups cleaned
If it wax just use a dryer or heat gun then you can wash with soapy water.. That's what I've found for me
I cant find the link for the glitters
Gorgeous COLORS!! I love the Blue & Pink..I know im blowing up your comments, but At least it helps your channel..😜😂
Do you wash your towels or throw them out?
Wash them (mostly)
So using isopropyl alcohol mixed with the mica is a no no...Right?
Im not certain but I wouldn’t - but having said that the alcohol does evaporate so Im not exactly sure on this one, please let us know if you find anything out
@@EdensSecret1 I'm afraid to even try it 😂 Maybe I should & see They do have to cure for like 2 weeks so I'm sure the alcohol would b evaporated by then & also maybe evaporate immediately but the 2 weeks should work I'm hoping 🤞 I'll let u know
