Great tip about putting the candle in the freezer! Always wondered how to get them out clean from the glass!

[@mymagicalhome]

It actually worked so well! I was very afraid it would stick and I would cut myself

[@SueSA2009]

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

New to your channel. Thank you for the tip about putting the candles in cold 🥶 water! Wasn't explained in another video! Can't wait to revamp my old candles! Watching from Eastern North Carolina ❤

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. 😊

[@mymagicalhome]

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

[@LiveLaughLovewithJen]

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 💞

[@mymagicalhome]

Thank you so much Jen! I couldn't believe how easy it was or how much money I was able to save!

[@TeresCorner]

Hey Jacque! This is such a unique video! Yes we’ve all been there the broken candles! 😅

[@mymagicalhome]

Hi Tere! Thanks for checking it out!

[@safetycitychic]

Hi Jacque, Hope all is well. Love your recycle DIY candles.

[@mymagicalhome]

Thank you! 😊 I hope you are doing wonderful too Annie

[@dannoname1110]

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!

[@mymagicalhome]

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

[@bethg-h4446]

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 👍🏼💜

[@mymagicalhome]

This is amazing! Great idea and video!! Thank you for sharing 💖

[@mymagicalhome]

Thanks for watching and being my amazing supportive friend. I am grateful for you always Britt

[@OrganizedWithJoy]

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!😊💞✨

[@mymagicalhome]

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

[@nikedoesthings]

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.

[@mymagicalhome]

@nikedoesthings ❤️thanks for the tip

[@sarahferrell1538]

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🤩🙏

[@mymagicalhome]

I can hook you up with some wicks 😃😃😃😃 I have oodles

[@Branskipants2]

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!

[@mymagicalhome]

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!

[@Branskipants2]

Definitely I will use the methods you teach in your video😍 I have so many left over candle waxs which I really love to reuse them till last drop of them🤭😍 Thank you for your energy and tips in this video ❣️

[@mymagicalhome]

Thank you so much for checking it out. I hope your candle making was a fun success 💗

[@victoriafeliciano491]

thanks for the info...may i ask when is the time to add scents, is it when it's still melting. thanks again

[@zoemeow7677]

Soo blessed candles kill germs I think blessings ✨

[@mymagicalhome]

Thank you so much and I agree about the germs. I hope you are having a nice weekend

[@angelaneivert3820]

Can essential oils be added as they melt or at the end?

[@mymagicalhome]

Yes you should be able to add essential oils when I added the scent right before pouring 🫗

[@413printandpress]

How do you get the circle in the middle of the stick

[@mymagicalhome]

The kit I bought and linked came with them that way. I imagine you could use a dremel.

[@Beanmachine91]

should i use a heat gun to melt the wax?

[@mymagicalhome]

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.

[@jo-annmorgan1226]

where did you get the candle pot for a loose waxes?

[@mymagicalhome]

I got it on amazon. It should be linked in the description 💗💗

[@wintercame]

@@mymagicalhome Just FYI. The links you refer to are not found in description. the candle pot and the kit with sticks/holes.🤥

[@mymagicalhome]

@wintercame I apologize, I will fix that promptly. Thank you for letting me know.

Anyone know what song this is in the intro? Kind of felt that one in the soul😱

[@mymagicalhome]

I will see if I can figure it out

[@mymagicalhome]

It's called In Our Hands by Ten Towers

[@brandondumont3652]

Thank you😊

[@mariejohnson9665]

How long to boil the water

[@mymagicalhome]

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.
