[@jenwilger411]

I find it admirable that you are educating us on how to make our own candles when you have your own business. Thank you, kind soul.

[@busylittlehooves]

[@marihahart7847]

[@queenbap3168]

How can I buy your candles

[@gwenbaird9368]

Hello I found your demonstration very good I am 84 years young and thought I might like to make candles as Christmas gifts you explained things very clearly thankyou

[@YiistoLPlayz]

This lady really just showed us how to sell candles without charging , real goat I hope u have a successful time 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@ScottRock-mr6qk]

So, I'm a man, and when I was a kid, my mom made some candles with paraffin wax crayons as coloring, and I had those candles for a long time. One was in the shape of a chocolate shake with wick making the straw. And when I stumbled across this video, it brought back all those memories of my mom making those candles. Thank you so much for triggering those memories of my childhood. Also, you were very thorough in how to make them too. Great job!!

[@SmaShleeStar]

I love your tip about burning the candle on the first burn so that the melted wax reaches to the sides completely. Someone else told me this tip too and it would have saved a lot of candles my mom bought for me when I was younger from me not being able to burn them later on. Very informative video. I can’t wait to watch more of your content. ❤ Thank you for sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@stacyramey9630]

It took me stumbling across this ONE and first video of yours to subscribe!! You were thorough, easy to understand, and you repeated yourself at pivotal points!! Such a sigh of relief!!! ❤

[@toleenkilani7729]

this was incredibly informative. i admire how gentle and sweet you were during the whole thing you left nothing for a person to wonder or need to ask!! thank you

[@tclark7802]

How much of the scented oil do you use if you want to make a candle highly scented? I wouldn't want to overdo it because I hear the oil is expensive, but I'd like to make a highly scented candle for myself & maybe a friend or two.

[@JoanOtte-j9g]

Thanks for a making the process clear and to the point. Could you comment on using color and give some tips on using tea cups as vessels?

[@sanjeevmall4244]

one of the best video so far on making candles

[@AlyssasOzarkHome]

I know this video is 3 years old but its so helpful! I subscribed and will definitely going to be watching your other videos. If you have any other candle making tips and have the time to make new videos, I'd love to watch!

[@TinaHarlan1972]

Starting my first batch ever!! so glad i saw this video first, straight to the point

[@ericavital7411]

hi im just watching this video and im excited about starting, howd it go for you?

[@quirks3533]

Same here! Did you try it yet?

[@harmanmann7484]

After seeing her I am going to give a try

[@trishroberts4487]

I watched several videos on candle making and people kept saying crap like put 6 percent of the aroma in the candle wax. WTH does that mean? Then I see yours and you made it so much easier, "add 1 ounces of aroma for each pound of wax." I'm glad you talk to me, idiot that I 'am, and made it soooo simple. Thanks for that!!! Making candles for the first time. Fingers crossed.🤞

[@Frank-zy8vw]

I love your kitchen backsplash!

[@triciacorreia3885]

I know this video is 3 yrs old but its the first one I found and glad I did you are amazing! Thank you, you've explained everything perfectly!!! Again thank you soooo much!!!

How and when do you add dried flowers mine have not done so well

[@Embracetherandom]

You are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your extensive knowledge about candle making with us. Sharing your tips even when you have your own candle store. Very generous of you. You have a great teaching style, too.

[@lorip4051]

I am looking to make some candles as a hobby and I really appreciate you for sharing this.

[@sandraaguilera6540]

I just started making candles last summer. Have sold in some pop-up events and to people I know. I have sold many thank God. It is fun. Sometimes I doubt that my candles are good. I always ask people to please let me know if they do not come out right. Doesn't smell, doesn't light correctly or whatever if anything went wrong. But I always get great feedback. But still I started watching more videos to see how I can improve. I came across your video and loved it!! I think it has been my favorite so far (and I have watch many!) You are a great teacher! Thank you for this tutorial. It was simple and easy to follow. You are too cute and fun to watch. Your candles are beautiful and elegant. 😊❤

[@reneegodmaireetc281]

Thank you so much for sharing this great, excellently organized and educational video. The tone of your voice, the attention to detail, your entire affect, makes this a lovely video. Kudos to you! Your candles are beautiful and elegant looking. I appreciate this very much! Well done! You got a subscribe from me solely based on this one. Now on to binge watch your other videos! 😊

[@Mrsjaydee777]

You have really interested me in this and because of the name Clayton I am going to follow you. I watched this three times I need the ingredients again. Thank you for helping me start something for my grandchildren.

[@rebajackson1077]

Great instructions. Information I didn’t know. Thanks

[@ellenpurton]

Thank you for this excellent tutorial! I've been learning to throw ceramic pots and have a lot of little pots I want to turn into candles. So grateful to you for showing me how!

[@debradeangelo4816]

Best tutorial ever! Thank you!

[@dwbooksandbeyond1528]

I really enjoyed your instructions. Right to the point, and instructions are easy to follow. YOU ARE THE GREATEST!

[@princessamby-chan2944]

i have some questions about a fire stove and how i should heat up the jars before pouring the wax in there with a fire stove

[@Kellygiirl72]

Hello, I love the way you teach! Are you pre-dipping your wicks in wax before using them?

[@naomistulberg4601]

Thank you for the great video. How do you clean the melting pot afterwards to make sure your fragrances don't cross contaminate? I worry that the fragrance smells will linger.

[@jenniferparker78]

Thank you so much for this video. A lot of great information! Just made my first batch of candles!!

[@Narbyful]

Thanks so much for this super helpful video. I have made candles on and off over the years. I wanted to do it again, and picked up a kit to fill in the blanks on supplies. The company did a good job, overall, but their instructions left out how to determine how much fragrance oil to add to how much soy wax. It said to "just add the appropriate amount." Yea, I'll be mentioning that in my review. hehe. Anyway, your video here supplied that easy to follow formula, and I'm very grateful for that info, and all the advice. I have 20 lbs. of soy wax in my supply cupboard from a previous craft spasm that I never finished using. I figure I'll get cracking on making that into Christmas gifts this year. :) Thanks again on this info, I subscribed and will watch the rest of your videos.

[@nikkinicole0.218]

Thank you so much for that step by step . A lot of people would not have done that.

[@nicolejmkweche8651]

Thank you for the lesson I will try it

[@jignasadesai7406]

Thank you for the video. I didn’t know that soy wax has “memory”. It makes perfect sense. No wonder I randomly turn the flame off without looking if the wax is burnt in a layer towards the outer walls of the container. I have expensive candles that leave about half an inch wax that can’t be used. Thank thank you

[@denisehunter-el1802]

I really enjoyed your tutorial on candle making thank you😊😊

[@shelleysink6776]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of candle making. Your video was very easy to follow. Very thorough. So much appreciated. Thank you for all you do!!!❤

[@Razzieblue]

Loved your video! You explain everything in detail. I am looking forward to get started😃 Thank you!

[@jenitsallgood]

I'm a total newbie and your video is so straight forward and helpful! I also like that you use tools that we have in our homes and not expensive "candle making" tools! PS. your ring is gorgeous! 🙂

[@aimeezimmer4705]

When warming the containers on low, how long was the stove on for? When does it get turned off?

[@maddd8883]

Thank you. I appreciate you so much! I’ve been wanting to try this but I didn’t have the right budget and this is so simple. You made it so simple! Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏾 ❤❤❤

Where do you get your jars from?

I can’t thank you enough! Thank you for the informative information on the health risks and staining. I didn’t know any of this and again thank you. You are AWESOME! 😍🤩❤❤❤

[@amalarida6934]

I have watched so many videos about making candles, but this was the best. Thanks a lot

[@u.s.5174]

I don't have a candy thermometer at the moment so about how much time (typically) does it take to reach 185 degrees and 135 degrees to cool?

[@michellewilliams2719]

I really enjoyed this video! I have a hard time finding KZbin videos that don't annoy me. Yours was very relaxing and informative! Thank you for sharing!

[@Ayrshirelassie62]

Hi, can u clarify if u keep the full tins on heat once filled with wax?...thanks so much🤗

[@rachel1596]

I want to add some stones like crystals/gemstones. When would I add them during the creation process.?

[@MaryLogan-Brown]

Hi,just a quick question on warming the tins. Are you still warming them as you pour the wax? If not how long to warm? Found your video informative and I’m keen to try my first soy candle.

[@flawednotfake4974]

Thank you for being generous and sharing your knowledge. One of the best videos I have seen to date!

[@ellenreilley3938]

That was so informative. Thank you so much.

[@as.in.the.days.of.noah.]

I wasn't interested in making candles myself until I saw your video. Wonderful job! And thanks for the tips on burning them correctly.

[@mariateresitatorayno]

Nice. I learned some tips. And interested.

[@LucieMoulton]

Thanks so much from Rhode Island! What a great video!

[@bekkismith5643]

I've found putting the jars in a baking tin then when you take the jug of wax out to cool,put the baking tray with jars on top of boiled saucepan. Warms them up nicely

[@allthingskraftybykaz]

If it’s okay I might try that tip for next time xx

[@hf..7271]

Thank you so much Jen for your valuable time and info. Greatly appreciated your teaching was simple , clear and fun to follow . Thank you for all you do . 🥰⭐️✋💐❤️

[@harleyjustice6615]

Thank you for your video. Is there a way to correct the candle pool you get from not burning it long enough the first time can you remelt soy wax

[@rosaevans2129]

I love how u tell us every detail. I've looked at quite a few videos but they never tell u the temperatures you are looking for and the measurements. So I'm really happy I saw this video because it helps out a lot. Only one problem for me is I have a gas stove not electric, any advice on that? It would be greatly appreciated.

[@marlentapia6266]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on candles. I Absolutely love your video. Blessings

[@shannonembrey1208]

Thank you so much for your tutorial. I appreciate the details and taking the time to really explain and give us helpful tips.

[@DeannaRoumimper]

Regarding heating up the candle vessels that the tins you have a electric stove what happens if we do not have an electric stove how else can we heat up the candle vases or tins?

[@tinukeafe-ajanaku9701]

Thank you very much. I enjoyed it so much, your voice is soothing, and you didn't chit-chat unnecessarily. Keep it up, and all the best always

[@leticiawilliams9808]

I been lost on other videos came across yours and I'm found now.

[@crystalbrown2702]

Thank you so much your patience and kindness allowed me to understand the process of making candles. I am a beginning and I love candles I subscribed to your channel thank you again.

This was a great tutorial! love the step by step!

[@Brandi-vi7nk]

I definitely found this video AFTER poring my scalding hot wax right into the mold lol, hopefully it will be okay, at least I'll have some to compare to the ones I let cool before pouring.

[@johnl.8616]

Very nice video, informative.

[@janetannisette5965]

You were very clear and precise. Thank you.

[@jbt369]

One could put the containers into a 175 F oven, and when one needed a container, one could take it out of the oven all nice and warmed up. If that's too warm, they would cool quickly.

[@normanseagull4027]

Could one!

[@amandajones6481]

[@LUCCAWRLD]

If you were doing coloured candles when should you add candle dye?

[@sierva526]

Do I have to use tin containers or can I use glass as well?

[@alexandradixon3775]

what a great video! Everything was really clear. I do have *one* question - when you say that soy wax has a memory so the first time you burn the candle, make sure it burns to the edge ... what would that look like? How would I know that I have done it right? Also, I'd like to make some "day of the dead" candles in tall glass cylindrical candle holders, and then wrap them in a paper design on the outside so the candle will glow through the image. Do you know of a source for the glass cylinders? And do you have any advice on glueing the images on the outside?

[@monte4808]

Would you do anything differently for heating the jars if you were using glass mason jars instead?

[@jonathanhanley4161]

The temp 185, is this Fahrenheit or Celsius? Also, the thermometer - is it actually in the wax or does it not touch the wax as it melts.

[@anupamsircar111]

The tutorial was both professional and informative!!! Thanks for uploading this video.

[@lindarivera8794]

Your tutorial was easily explained thank you !

[@aahleycoudriet3607]

[@mzringzandtingz]

This video was great. Just a few questions: -How do I heat up the tins before pouring if I don't have a flat surface stove as yours? -Say for instance, I get distracted and I missed the 135 degree pour; do I re-heat the wax ? -Can you make a video on fragrance mixing? I'm interested in building a brand and want to create my own unique scents. Is there a formula for mixing? Thanks in advance

[@shahnjaylaconnors1476]

I don't heat my tins. Usually you heat glass jars.

[@shanteriabiggs1524]

These are fantastic questions
