You and Bargain Bethany, especially Bethany, are the ones I go to with the faux food and drink looking candle ideas.

[@KraftsbyKatelyn]

Yes!! She is awesome! ❤️❤️❤️

[@VICKILCURRY]

Love you & Bethany the best!!!❤❤❤

[@memj89]

I love Bargin Bethany and Crafts by Katelyn ♥️♥️♥️.

[@melindaelizabeth9366]

I LOVE your pressed flowers DIY's. They always turn out so BEAUTIFUL.

[@YayasWhimsicalBrush]

Kaitlyn, one thing, you could do to keep it from coming out of the metal stars or anything metal is sticking it into your freezer for twenty minutes before you pour the hot wax in. Usually, not always but usually it slows it down and hardly it lets any out

[@melindaelizabeth9366]

The wax colors in the little tins are so pretty. I love the designs on those tins, they are so pretty.

[@jenniferingram4861]

I love the look of the Anthropologie knock offs towards the end! Thanks for the refresher on making tassels.

[@ceeyaaa]

The flowers with the white candle is beautiful

[@debbieschultz9768]

The flowers with the candles is my favorite!

[@joannwilson3300]

First of all you are my favorite crafty girl with amazing ideas each and every time and second I thought of a video. How to fix a mistake on a project! I can't seem to make anything right the first time and thus this will help me out learning what I can do when I make a mistake instead of throwing it away!

[@melindaelizabeth9366]

The HOME candle is adorable.

[@jeanettecliett7121]

Love all the different ways you made the candles. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤

[@melindaelizabeth9366]

Beautiful candles with floral stickers.

[@lydiamcpherson7925]

Loved the pressed flower & fern vases and the pretty gold floral candle holder you put in your bedroom. That would be nice in a bathroom, too. Nice ambiance while taking a bath. The floral tins were so pretty with the candle wax in them, too. Tysmfs!! 🌿❤

[@NanceeSmith-p2y]

Love the Red White and Blue candles!

[@cherieszollosi2728]

You are so talented, thanks for the idea of whipped wax, I am 73 and learn something new every day.

[@wavyliketheocean3486]

So creative and beautiful thank you for sharing have a wonderful evening 💙💗🦋🌈💚💜

[@lesliehodges2419]

Good job on them all! ❤

[@tamervin]

Love the pastel candles! Pretty spring colors.

[@candacerawlings3457]

Thank you for all the candle ideas. It’s hard to pick a favorite.

[@candicejohnson7284]

Wow! Amazing ideas. What is the lemon and sprinkles made of? If candle, how do you create them?

[@lindanelson1442]

Cute ideas!

[@melindaelizabeth9366]

The jar with the floral vine is beautiful.

[@deannaparkos3652]

Great ideas. Thanks for the Dollar Tree glass ideas and containers that you have been successful at candle making! Also the idea of using the gluesticks to help prevent leaking. You're good at explaining what worked for you and what didn't!

[@Craft-Pray-Love]

Love them all! Thank you 😊 Leslie

[@Namesaremygame]

Making candles can be a very fun craft. I started off doing similar using Dollar Tree candles and melting and pouring into other containers. I started doing research and determining ways to make candles I would like from colors to fragrance to wicks and containers ect. It's trial and error honestly. Its just about doing it safely. Some advice the dips you get on the candles the wax is a little too hot and the container cool so take a heat gun to the inside of the container prior to pouring and it'll help, this used to happen to mine a lot. Getting a candle or kitchen thermometor will help check temp prior to pouring, different waxes pour better at different temps. Also recommend putting the wick down first with glue or glue dots before pouring as it helps to center the wick for best burning. I'll say the pillar glass candles at Dollar Tree are like a whipped wax and the wicks are not the best quality. But I'll say it's not very expensive to get started with better quality wax, containers, wicks, fragrance oils ect and honestly being able to make it the way you want is just such a fun thing. Also electric wax melters are a great way to save time and melt insanely fast. Also if a candle is to be lit I recommend not using glue, paint, nonwax items in it just for safety but if just for decor I see no problem. Using molds to make wax inbeds are another option if the candles to be burned.These are of course just suggestions. I think you're doing great putting your crafts out there for people to see. Best to You & Happy Crafting!

[@bettysandmann9746]

I loved the pressed flower candle!! I need to go find some!! 5 flowers candle on the board is beautiful! They all were great!

[@debbiewilliams8107]

Beautiful crafts Katelyn! I hope the flowers come back to my area stores this summer as I’d like to make the 5 flower arrangement for my bathroom. Thanks for such creative & beautiful spring & summer decor ideas!

[@ladyej3635]

Everything is simply awesome 👌🏾 great ideas 💡 and thank you for sharing your talents with us 😊

Great candle ideas. Blessings 😊 🙏

The red ,white and blue are adorable!

[@maileiakealoha5775]

I really and truly love all of your candle diys but my favorite is the one that you made in the Irish glass with the "whipped cream" I'm going to try my hand at it

[@barbaradigennaro1450]

Thank what beautiful things with the flowers. Going to give it a try

[@minetteyanity5775]

So many cute ideas!! A candle maker told me that if the wax is too hot it will cave in like that is happening. 🤷‍♀️ Love the pressed flower candle. Thanks for sharing.

[@tammybabcock4802]

Good afternoon Katelyn and thank you for sharing your candle ideas

[@christinejachimiak7351]

Liked the pressed flower candle.

[@barbarafoor7468]

I love them all, but my favorites are the pink with the frosting and the one with the dried flowers.

[@bobbieholtzclaw5146]

You are the best candle maker. Love them.

[@PictureShana]

Great job as usual!!! I loved the simplicity of the star candle. As far as the wax seeping out even after you use hot glue, I wonder if the wax is so hot that it's remelting the hot glue?

[@daynaserpa9082]

You are soooo creative!! Love all your candles. My fav was the HOME candle!!

[@lindarector9971]

Everything is so beautiful ❤❤

[@KraftsbyKatelyn]

Thank you!

[@eileenmogan1610]

Wow red white & blue!! 4th of July...lol I understand being a crafter & getting stuff done..but geeze TIME needs to SLOW DOWN!! LOVE your crafts!! Keep up the FANTASTIC CRAFTS!

[@tamervin]

Memorial Day works too, and is sooner! Can also be saved for Labor Day.

[@paulalawson6307]

I'm always way ahead of the holidays! Time does go so fast!

[@janicelinett3702]

I am new to melting candles an I made a disaster, so I kind of wanted a guide that would help me to do it a lot more smoother without a disaster. what would you recommend I get that would help me learn?

[@virginianalangan6786]

Loved all your ideas.

[@theresapatrono4062]

Love all of these.

[@emilygilstrap31]

You could use up partially burnt birthday candles for the mold. What a great way to recycle.

[@GamerofOld]

Love the bucket and coffee cup ideas! Does the bucket get damaged when you are burning the candle? Also can you add more than on wick to each bucket? So it melts evenly?

[@dotgoodwin4312]

Love them all!

[@queenonyxbutterfly]

Happy Tuesday Katelyn❤❤

[@SonjaColeman-b9m]

nice liked them good work. I likes all your work thanks

[@joansmith6844]

Like the star ⭐️ & tall 4th July ❤ pressed flowers 🌸 luv that too ! Ty ❤..

[@KraftsbyKatelyn]

Thank you for checking out today's video! 🤗🤗🤗

[@trinapearl7193]

Hi KATELYN, I had the same problems with my candles sinking in the middle and I found that if I put them on a candle warmer, it levels it right up when it melts them. Hope this helps and really enjoy your tips.

[@Kilsia]

Bellísimas ideas

[@karenmartin1641]

Cool ideas

[@dorin9185]

I did a cylinder vase with those fern stickers a couple of years ago and they have stayed perfectly since.

[@KraftsbyKatelyn]

Perfect!! Perfect pop of green color! 🤗❤️

[@melindaelizabeth9366]

Love the star.

[@ceeyaaa]

Love the star candle

[@jillifensty5110]

The red white decopauge candles were cool.You did it in less then 5 minutes. The garland look like fizzling fire works

[@Michael-gp5nb]

❤ lovely crafts ❤

[@cindyhester9823]

The berry garland on the candles also resembles fireworks. Lol!

[@puddintame9989]

the reason you wax is caving in or tunneling is because you are pouring the wax in when it is too hot. I tried it both ways and it works better if it is not as hot

[@celisewitherington8404]

Love ur ideas. I’m wondering if you use flex seal inside the tins would that stop the leaks

[@maureenlevesque4898]

Thank you

[@lynetteeades9010]

Sweet candle wax…whipped cream!! ❤❤

[@juliehope1175]

If it leaks when it's made, then won't it leak when it burns? Also, what does everyone do with the empty candle glasses?

[@mikkimalone9927]

I'm wondering the same thing. I guess they could just be made for decoration and not to burn.

[@joanfriant2606]

Great projects 💜

[@ceeyaaa]

Really liked this video

[@terrymackey7470]

Love all of them! Where do you get the pressed flowers from?

[@cynthiasmith155]

Use hot glue to hold your wick in place (maybe) so it don't move on you

[@Diane-q6g]

Wow I like the pink candle with the whipped cream 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻thank you for sharing

[@DreamBig2240]

I think the wax was too hot & ended up melting the cooled hot glue. I don’t know how you could get around that. But I love your ideas on different ways to use the $Tree candles. Keep on bringing us your $Tree hacks.

[@JeanGeorge-nq1mg]

You are so crafty

They were all beautiful, I seen some I may try😅😅😅😊😊😊

[@mgb426]

Cute video, love the ideas. Quick question, does anyone know if the whipping trick also applies to soy candle wax? Will it even whip? Curious to know if anyone tried it before (before ingivenit a go) TIA 🙏

[@chelleschimmoller6503]

I wonder if you used epoxy or resin to seal the buckets so the wax doesn't leak out.

[@treejohn01]

Love all your candles!! Favorite- pressed flowers and fern❤

[@michellebone6577]

Use silicone in a tube to seal your metal containers

[@VICKILCURRY]

Ive done stars and added citronella oil to use outside

[@christyrich9495]

Couldn't keep track of which was going to be my favorite. So I'll just say all of them!

[@JeanGeorge-nq1mg]

Good job

[@dionnedundas8212]

Where did you get the lemon slice? Is it real or fake?

[@debimoseley3590]

?do the flowers burn in the candle. ? Fire

[@mothermarylspeaking8989]

Since there are so many really nice faux candles out, I am going to try some of these ideas. I've never liked burning real candles...scares the begeebers out of me.

[@gracewest5504]

You may want to use a different type of glue. Hot wax melts the hot glue. That is why it leaked.

[@janicelinett3702]

Where do I get the wicks?

[@lisafisher2033]

I found some on Amazon

[@ecbrent2]

Hobby lobby also has them

[@cherikirin4870]

When your candle gets a mini cave, it's because you poured the wax too hot. Stir the melted wax and then pour. I make candles for my business.

[@beckaharris3]

Please be careful picking random glass to make candles. As a candle maker, this can be very dangerous and disastrous. Some glass can not handle the heat and will explode. Please please be cautious of this and let your subscribers know for their safety.

[@KraftsbyKatelyn]

Thank you for sharing!! ❤️

[@chrishubbard5073]

Also, do not light those candles made in tins that leak. When the wax melts it will leak again possibly on your table. And worse, cause a fire

[@diamondlee9034]

I always cringe when I see crafters melting candles & reusing them😳 you are SO right, VERY dangerous AND a fire hazard.

[@6kidsagluegun]

If you use caution and common sense, reusing candles can be perfectly safe! Most glass jars will say on them if they aren't safe for heat!!!

[@beckaharris3]

@@6kidsagluegun that is not true most of dollar trees glass jars don’t say anything about heat. People can have common sense and still mistakenly have a mishap not knowing. Also I didn’t even touch base on fragrances, on what they can do if you don’t have the knowledge of candle fragrances. I’m only looking out for peoples best interests/safety.
