what a great video. loved it

[@MalenasCreations]

Awww! Thank you so much!

[@missmary5048]

LOl love how you store all the fragrance oils you have! Im not the only one! I have over 300 fragrances and always buying new scents..its an addiction ok? but what to do with them all? its hard to find a way to organize them all in alphabetical order of course..it would be hard to find a specific scent otherwise! I have come up finally with an idea i saw on pinterest..towel bars and a piece of molding underneath that holds them..the towel bar holds them against the wall..perfect and cheap! when you have so many like I do and you do! Of course your idea is genius too! I would love any other ideas of course!

[@MalenasCreations]

Haha thanks!! You must share this Pinterest idea of the towel bar. I'm in desperate need of more space for those FO's. As always, thanks so much for watching!

During this very stressful time we are all going through, this is my new "at home hobby". Special Thanks to you for sharing your professionalism with us!! This was very relaxing to watch and learn. Please keep it up. Where did you get the strawberry molds?

Thank you so much!! I found the molds on Etsy. I'll look them up and send the link to you.

Hi! Love your video. I was just wondering did you use Wilton white icing colour for whipped wax? I was asked to get this for my candle candles and I’m learning to make that whipped wax but wasn’t sure whether to get Wilton white icing colour or the wax is the same colour after whipping it?

[@MalenasCreations]

Hi Vanessa, thank you!! I do not add anything into my whipped wax. If I do color it, I will add a little mica or candle wax colorants only. Hope that helps :)

Omg !!cant wait to buy when will you restock ..Love this so cute

[@MalenasCreations]

Thank you! I'm in the process of looking for new jars. Unfortunately, my vendors are completely out of stock for months. Apparently everyone is making candles these days 😉

[@bee_buzz777]

Lol girl tell me about it im one of those people but i love buying and supporting other candle makers i guess its the knowing of time that goes in it a d the appreciation of creative art and skills from others 💖😊 let us know when your back in stock

@@bee_buzz777 that's so sweet of you, thank you! I will have to post up another candle making video once I find that perfect jar 😉 make sure to subscribe so you'll know when I have more.

I finally found one on Etsy 🤗

[@princessbuchanon8489]

When making the strawberry shortcake candle what other fragrance is needed besides strawberry essential oil?

[@MalenasCreations]

I don't use essential oils very often since they are pricey. I use a high quality fragrance that is cruelty free, vegan, carcinogen free, toxic free, mutagen free and phthalate free. The amount used is 10% fragrance load.

[@ritaslone2793]

I just seen the presto pot on the Mercari app for $75 yesterday. I want one but have to wait till after first of year.

[@MalenasCreations]

Oh great! I've heard they are great!

My daughter gave me my presto melting pot with spout and she purchased it from Amazon or you can get it from the Soy lite candle company.

hello Malena's Creations How are you? I love your candles Can you do a request video how you ship your large tall candles do you put a lid on top or what do you? so Can you do a request video?

Hi Marisa, thanks for watching. Unfortunately, I am not able to get those candle vessels anymore. The company stop making them. I'm now making my own vessels out of concrete and will be posting another video on how I make them. Make sure you are subscribed and hit the bell so you don't miss it :)

May I ask do you do your own labels for you candles,and if so what program do you use?

Yes, I do my own labels in Canva and sometimes in Illustrator and then print and cut them using my Cricut program and machine.

Heyy You add essence to the top? Im curious 🥰

[@Martina-zm4hp]

Love your video!! I was wanting to know where did you get your strawberry molds, and also any other mold you may use. I saw in the video the different wicks, and I like your jar that you used. Where do you recommended get those products? I'm starting out making candles and trying to start a small business, any tips? Thanks so much

[@MalenasCreations]

Thanks for watching ❤ I've been pretty happy with Candle Science and The Flaming candle. The strawberry molds were found on Etsy a few yrs ago. I bought them for my melt and pour soap at the time. As for the jars, the manufacturer can't keep up due to half employee capacity due to Covid and that everyone is now making candles during this time. I am on the hunt for new jars myself and have had no luck.

[@Martina-zm4hp]

@@MalenasCreations okay thank you soo much for the information. Yea, it's like everyone making candles ❤ Good luck on finding the items you need❤

[@ivonepereira4806]

Doing the frost is it possible to let it cool and let a layer start forming then you can whip it up is this possible? Thanks

[@MalenasCreations]

Yes you could do that.

[@acartiea87]

These are amazing. Do you use the same wax for your embeds?

[@MalenasCreations]

Thank you Ana!! I did but now I like using Coconut/Soy.

[@Bonitaarmani]

How do these burn do the wicks drown since the jar is so high and also what kind of wax do you use

[@MalenasCreations]

They burned great until I couldn't buy the jars anymore. The company stopped selling/making them during Covid. I now found a better jar in my new videos.

[@Bonitaarmani]

@@MalenasCreations thank you so much Marlena for responding to me

[@delishawilliams6857]

So I noticed you said in the winter you pour at cooler temperature..so in warmer months do you pour around 170

[@MalenasCreations]

Between 150-160 depending on the temp in my shop.

[@marisafreeman9263]

Where are those exact wick stickers from? I've been looking for those on the sheets with the peel away part.

Can you heat the glass a bit to avoid the wax from detaching from it ?thanks

Yes, absolutely

The company no longer makes them :(

[@delishawilliams6857]

Do you only use 464 for frosting or do u mix it..being it's a very soft wax

I currently am using the 464 for my frosting and candles. Now that it's getting hot, I am working on testing different waxes.

How do you manage to pipe it?? It always hardens on me when I'm transferring it to the piping bag from the bowl. And then its clay consistency. 🙁

I normally have to work pretty fast once it's gets to that cream cheese frosting consistency. I also work in 79 degree temp in my shop when I pipe.

How does your soy does have the frost on the side of the jars like all the soy wax that I use the glass around the wax has wet spots how did you get it to not do that

[@MalenasCreations]

I am still trying to figure out why some of them form the white frosting on the bottoms and the sides. It's very frustrating. If you know any tricks, please share :)

[@delishawilliams6857]

Try heating your jars..
