I want to learn how to make my own candles but, this tutorial was not helpful at all! I have no clue what is a soy wax? where can I buy it? what it that bowl on the counter your poured the wax into? there was no close to see what in the world was that thing you attached to the wick!
I’m disappointed!
can’t understand
1. Soy wax is just like candle wax but the wax doesnt get hot when it is melted, so you can rub it in ur hand it guess…
2. You can buy it at major craft stores.
3. The bowl on the counter was a scale.
4. The thing he attched is called a “wick tab” which is normally attached to the wick, if you buy it premade.
can anybody tell me please how to use the wick without the little metal at the bottom
thanx so much
where do you get the soy’s?
Wax from craft stores is generally crap. Find a local candle supplies store near you if possible, or order and have it shipped.
Never, ever, heat wax direct on the heat source.
Wicks come in all types, sizes and are easily bought premade.
Lastly, you must always test your candles. Wicks, wax and fragrance all work differently.
you can buy soy wax at JOANNS FABRICS!!!
can you please tell me why my candles cave in and thy look a little glossy and bumpy on top, I ordered the wax on line and I followed all your steps but my candles are a MESS!!!! Please help me.
you can find soy at Michael Craft store and Joann Fabrics and crafts. These two store are across the country
Just heat the top to smooth out imperfections…I have never made a candle but I am using common sense.
I’ve learned that this is a perfectly normal wax thing–the wax will leave a weird sloping shape around your wick. To fix the prob, let the candle cool for about an hour, then pour a little more of the same wax into the top. The wax will congeal together naturally, and the wax cave will be gone.
As the wax cools it may contract slightly depending on the type and quality of the wax. You can top up the candle with a second pour so keep a little bit of wax aside. To smooth out bumps apparently you can give it a gentle blast with a hair dryer.
Ok, if you are using” common sense” then you should also pay attention; I said… they cave in as well– so simply heating the tops will not help so now you need to try to make a candle before making a comment
@sanjon1998 hi my name is cynthia your cave in because the wax stink so when its almost solid repour a little to give a complete fill in look
It is normal for them to do that,watch the wax hardening and when the hole starts to form,just add a little bit of wax over it.
just melt some more wax and fill in the holes and wait for it to dry then smooth off the top or you could just re do it unlike locobeaver i do make candles
thank you I have it all now but I really appreciate it. THANKS
What is your website address? I cannot find it by typing in Blue Creek Candle Company.
This is what I love. A candle maker will give you all the help you need but I have yet to find one candle maker to say what their exact recipe is. There is many types of soy wax so of you really want to help be specific.
someone should count how many times he says wick tab.
@chauncy424 i counted 6 XD
14 times!!!! bahahaha
which is best, the melting pot straight on the heat or in a double boiler? I have always been told to use the double boiler, but if you accidently get a drop of water, errrrgh! But I thought it would discolor the wax on direct heat?
One time my science teacher was making soy candles (she’s a craft lady) and she accidently spilled on the floor, so for the rest of the week everyone was falling all over the place haha!
But yeah, this helped :]
(T_T) woooooooow that was too fast…
