Hey my man, ran across your channel. I suffer from depression. I’m 36, with three kids(all girls lol) I wanted to start doing candles to see if that’ll help. Thanks for the in depth tutorial. I only made 10 and they came out pretty well! Thanks bro! Appreciate it more than you’ll ever kno
That's awesome and I am glad they've been helping!
This comment made my night.. peace & love
Same
I looked up candle making for the same reason. Single parent of 2 girls. The coincidence is so weird haha ✌🏼
Lavender helps with depression and anxiety.
things to do during quarantine: make candles
after watching the raid shadow legends ad ofcourse

And soap!
Just wonderful, I've been looking for "how to make swirl candles" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Cenadoelyn Candle Contemplation - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my buddy got great results with it.
@@MutualistSoc winters coming up i would buy them but fuck candles are like 30 and 20 and 10$ like wtf
I’m gonna name mine, serenity by Jan!

diana yasss ❤️😂
Did you make one
The office
FYI that name is taken. I wanted that name and it was taken. I haven’t officially started my company but looking up names it came up.
Best candle tutorial ever!
lol My daughter was correct when stating the percentages of the wax! Parasoy is 70% paraffin and 30% soy.

Next video you make apologies to her lol She did an excellent job, but i highly suggest getting a crock pot to melt your wax gas stove should never be use to heat up such things as candles. Thanks for sharing.
Spin Rash Thanks!! 😁
Gas stove is ok when using the double boiler method. Direct heat to the pitcher is definitely something to avoid.
Where do you get this specific wax or at least the one you're using in the video? I absolutely love your videos by the way. Very informative!
This was great, thanks, I have been researching "buy soy wax candle making" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Cenadoelyn Candle Contemplation - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my friend got excellent results with it.
Cheers for this, I've been looking for "making selling soy candles" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Cenadoelyn Candle Contemplation - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my m8 got excellent results with it.
This by far is the best candle tutorial I've seen. Thanks so much!!
Thank you very much! We had fun doing it, glad people are liking it.
I second that! Great video, guys!
I agree watched loads til found this one which is spot on! Thank you for posting the tutorial!
Yes! This tutorial is so good!
Love that Daddy and Daughter are a team teaching others how to craft and it's inspirational to see you work together.
I agree
Thanks for the tutorial! I learned a lot. Your little helper is so adorable and she's smart too. 😊
When he said my name is Jeff I died laughing. Proves I’m mature
😂😂.. I did the same thing!
I can't like your comment because it is at 69 likes...
I also am extremely mature
Hahhaa..... community's jeff
Lol I replayed it just to show my girlfriend. “My name is Jeff”
Definitely one of the best candle making tutorials i've seen so far. thank you!!!
Hello, I work with a 70% beeswax-30% coconut oil blend and have had a hard time with sinkhole and tunnelling well burning. Your tutorial was fantastic! I add essential oil’s to my candles and fix them with a heat gun after. I’ve always had trouble with the scent not being present after they were cured. But what you said about using the heat gun and killing the fragrance totally makes sense! So thank you!
Hi I thoroughly enjoyed your video! You were very detailed! I love your relationship with your daughter. I learned how to make candles today because of you all. Thank you!
I Still refer to this video for a refresher when I pull out my candle making stuff! Thank you both!

I'm very new to candlemaking. Excellent tutorial! I liked your tip to use a cut pen to place the cotton wick into the jar - saved a lot of frustration! Thank you!

By far the best indeed! and you're gorgeous to watch =*

Omg thank you so much for this!! Since quarantine I’m not even joking I perfected hair braiding, polygel nails, dip nails, tips and acrylics and now I just wen on amazon and spent so much on soy wax and parasoy along with everything to go with it!’ This all started Bc I wanted a bath and body twisted peppermint candle bc it’s my favorite thing ever. It truly helps clear my migraines and just overall I love it. So I ended up here. And amazon lol!! Thank you so much for this help!!
Hi what starter kit did you buy on amazon?
