Thanks so much for your transparency I have just made 1 batch of wax melts so far with soy 444 but I love it. A fun hobby and candles/melts are great gifts. I have a lot of ideas I want to try this winter and I am hoping to do a craft show in the spring though it seems early to mid fall would be the best time for a craft show

I've been thinking of opening a candle business for a long time now and finally decided to move forward with it so I have been binge watching your videos lol Any advice on finding the perfect oil blend for my candles? How did you figure out which scents go well together? This seems very hard to do and I have no idea where to start!
@reneejurgensen72806 ай бұрын
Thanks for this video ~ When you do a custom blend do you do a 50/50 blens? Also do these smell just as nice in wax melts (I used BW921) I have been watching you grow and so glad you have become so successful.

I made enough Fruit Loops candles to test wick size and make one candle as a going away gift. I will probably list it as a novelty, made-to-order thing. Maybe take a few to craft fairs. My current obsession is Saffron Cedarwood from CandleScience. I think I need to turn this into a room spray. Thanks for the education, Erica!

I feel bad that I keep buying so many Saturday Morning Cartoons wax melts 😅 I can't get enough of it. I melt it while working to get me through the day. I'm really excited to try the new limited edition ones that I just ordered though, so maybe we'll find another favorite for me that doesn't make you sick 💜😂

😂 oh my gosh please don’t worry! Buy away! It’s mainly Saturday Morning Cartoons candles while their being burned that bugs me the most lol! But as a candle maker it comes with the territory! 😆 Thank you for purchasing!! Hope you enjoy all the limited wax melts! ☺️❤️❤️

Good point on scents you like vs what others do. I personally really dislike Patchouli and Nag, but others love it. So I am making custom blend(s) that are unique to me.

Can you use essential oils vs synthetic fragrances in making candles? I’m super sensitive to artificial fragrance.
@ashleygreenn Жыл бұрын
It's not recommended as you shouldn't burn essentials oils - although, fragrances often use 1-3 percent of essential oils in them.

Oh, das interessiert mich auch sehr. Komme aus Deutschland und habe erst vor 4 Wochen begonnen, Kerzen herzustellen. Ich habe hier das Problem, dass ich keine große Auswahl habe an Düften und verschiedene Arten von Wachs. Leider finde ich keine Möglichkeit in den USA zu bestellen, weil niemand nach Deutschland liefert. Wenn du eine Idee hast, lass es mich wissen
