- 🐝 Making beeswax candles at home can be a fun and rewarding experience. It usually requires some experimentation, but when you discover how to make the perfect candles, it’s well worth the effort.
Flower with Big Dipper Wax Works and Life by Ritual has been making candles for more than 20 years. Over the next few months, Flower will be sharing her creative energy and beeswax expertise with you! She designed several candle projects for Bramble Berry and she'll be featured in upcoming videos. She's also collaborating with our creative team to bring you even more projects in the future.

"Beeswax is the least processed of all candle waxes and comes from the sustainable industry of honey farming. It has a naturally sweet smell and a brilliant golden light…what’s not to love? It is infused with the energy of the hive and contributes to the proliferation and health of honey bees, which are a keystone species. Bees are a primary pollinator to one third of the food crops in the United States. Without bees and other pollinators, the landscape of our lives would drastically change!"

Hi bramble berry, I watched ur videos and tried to make beeswax candles in glass jar. I have faced an issue. After making jar candle, I leaved it to on home Temp for drying. After some time, wax has been cracked in side jar. Am not mixed any substance, oil or essential oil. How to avoid this? And one more question is about tunnelling. How to avoid this also?
Waiting ur reply. Thanks from India.
@@mahaveerindra make sure you have the right sized wick and pour at the correct speed
@@jesshasnofilter speed means??
@@mahaveerindra speed means how fast you pour the melted wax into the glass jar.
You said soap not wax in your comment...just FYI.
Best video ever because you also showed us all of the “bad” examples too. We are going to make our first candles as a family tonight, and this video rocked!
Im a second year beekeeper with my first big block of new wax to use. The style and content of this video has been very helpful and encouraging. Thanks!
I am same as you i plan candles, Chapstick, and body rubs
What a fantastic life guys 😁🍂🍁 honey and beeswax , so healing. Blessings on your journey 🔱
I feel like I should be paying tuition to see this. I learned so much
knowledge should be free for all who search for it ☺️ atleast to me, this was so educational and im so excited to get into bees
This comment ☝️😄🏆
I agree
I imagine she has a Patreon
@@frankieverona5353 spoken like a true socialist 👍✊🏽
I’m ready to start making my own supplies to live off of and candles were the first thing I wanted to learn how to make, after countless videoes this is the only one I could find that actually taught me things I didn’t already know! I can tell u have a passion for it and ur not just doing it for the sake of having a channel! I appreciate ur work entirely and I’ll be looking forward to watching more of ur videos✨
I’m about to start my candle-making journey and I’m really pleased there’s a bit of the video dedicated to cleaning.
I just bought 6 candle sconces, wrought iron, from 5 seperate garage sales, and 30 candle holders to fill, they look soooo naked. So i bought 4, 5 pound bricks of beeswax from our local growers market with no idea how to make candles. Just cruising through youtube i came across this video, and low and behold it's my favorite candle company!!! I have purchased your candles several times from whole foods, and i am never unsatisfied with your product!!! I think that it is wonderful that you are sharing this information with beginners. Im now ready to get the rest of the supplies i need to make candles for my sconces!! Thank you so much for providing this extremely informative video!
I will stick to buying the candles already made bees wax doesn’t look very easy to work with, my hats off to all of you who create these precious candles for peeps like me to enjoy!
The first video I came across on this, no need to look further. You demonstrated that so well, and your voice is so soothing! I was hesitant if I can do this but thank you for the spot on tutorial!
It's one of the best explanations I got in my life about anything
Very informative! You mentioned things I wouldn't have thought about
Yes she did
Great video. I appreciate her showing examples of containers you shouldn't use and explaining why.
The way she explained how the bottles that narrow at the top and how they'd blacken over time reminded me of the glass chimneys on the old oil lamps and lanterns
I've found that I can use oven safe pots n containers in a warm oven to release and leftover wax then pour it into a cute little silicone molds and recycle and reuse it into other candles!!😉
You can use the wax molds in wax warmers!
Me too! 👍🏼
@@panedole prolly not free
How can i melt the beeswax without turning into a dark yellow?
Thankyooou
Very helpful video! 2 questions: Do you have a wick guide for sizing? Essential Oil to wax ratio?
This is awesome. I bought my first beeswax candle last year because I had done some research about the benefits and I love being able to burn it in the house during the winter with my windows closed. I have asthma and it's nice not having to worry about smoke, soot or irritation to my airways. Now I want to start making my own beeswax candles and I am thrilled I found a long time expert, plus I love everything connected to Bramble Berry.
I want to quit my day job and spend everyday making candles 🐝
Me toooo 😩 let’s do it!!! My day job is taking all of my energy!
Move to Georgia and you can!
Do it, just go for it !!!
@@sysanlots sandy I see people who are very unhappy or unfulfilled, I think just do it. No FEAR.
👌
Second comment - I watched this and have been making my own beeswax candles as part of a new business project - it's been so much fun ordering different scents and thinking about containers and labels. I bought a candlemaking kit from Amazon and use some of the things in it, but have purchased additional beeswax from sellers online. What an amazing scent, and making the candles is very enjoyable. I'm so excited to share them with friends and family, and I want to thank you again Flower, for this tutorial. Peace be with you :)
Really excellent video! The only two things I would've liked to understand further are which wicks to choose (as others have mentioned), how to know which glass containers are heat-safe (like if thrifting them for example), how much essential oil to use, and how to use the double-boiler again (as opposed to the creme brulee torch for those who don't have one). Thanks a lot! :)
Not only did this video teach us the wick sizes, the containers, the wax temp options, and hazards, but clean up too?! BRAVO!!!! I’m sending this vid to everyone
Thank you so much for your generous tips! It’s the first time I’ve ever felt confident with something I made myself.
We're so happy to hear it! We hope you have a wonderful time crafting!
Well, I bought all the supplies and equipment plus a 5 lb block of bees wax ,wait for it, 23 years ago. 😂. I put them in a bag in the garage and never touched them. Don't know why. I think it's time to make some candles now 😂. Back then there was no TH-cam to learn.
Thank you so much Bramble Berry for the tutorial! Very, very nice, love the video!
OMG the bloopers at the end of the video is just ADORABLE.
Am so glad that you spoke about cleaning as well since it's a mess to clean those vessels
I so appreciate your video Flower! Thanks so much to you and Brambleberry for the enlightenment ❤️
I shared this to Facebook with the text: "I have been moving my candle-making supplies from home to home for several years and have not come close to having the time to begin this journey until now. This was the first tutorial I came across when searching for a guide that would not be all about a sales pitch and I am thoroughly impressed by Flower's technique and knowledge, and how thorough she is in identifying wrong choices & consequences, as well as the right things to do. I am excited to get started!"
There is soooo much more I want to say to you about this wonderful video, but time does not allow so I'll leave it at that for now. THANK YOU!
This video was SO helpful and educational. Thank you! ❤️🐝
Aaaah,i can feel the fragrance of Lavender. Beautifully done.
Thank you for giving us the most detailed information on how to handle our jobs with beeswax.
Thanks Flower! I learned so much from you and got some great advice when I start making candles. The troubleshooting tips were especially helpful and seeing you walk through the whole thing :)
That bang is Banging HONEE! YAAAASSSS! You DID THAT! Great video & info as well 👏Bravo
This is the best tutorial I’ve ever seen. On any subject! Thank you so much!
Literally the best video I’ve ever watched! Step by step, clear!! Great!!!
SUPER helpful video! Thank you Flower and Bramble Berry!!
This is a great video! So many little details and easy tips (especially for clean up). Thank you so much!
You speak so well! Great video. Thank you.
Love the Bee’s 🐝 Wax Candle. Great information! Thank you
Beautiful. Thank you so much for the tips and step by step candle making.
Wow! I love how you explain each step!! I am waiting for my pouring pot to arrive, then I will try my hand on candle making using my friends beeswax! Thank you so much! You made it look so easy and fun!! Can't wait!
I can’t wait to try!! 😍🙏🐝 Thank you!!
Excellent video! The material was presented very well and clearly this lady knows what she's doing. Thanks for sharing, now I want to make candles!
Thank you! This was so helpful!
You were so detailed! This was excellent, thank you!
This was a perfect balance of lots of information without too much yammering on and on, THANK YOU!
excellent detailed video!!!
Thank you for such an informative and helpful video!💖 great voice and explanation and demos!
Excellent video. Thank you!!!
Excellent tutorial. I’m a beginner and this is so helpful. Thank you Flower. Love your name too.
Very helpful. And just look at that smile! Thank you Flower!
Thanks. This is the best informative video I have seen. I am a beekeeper and have extra wax but ran into problems with wick sizes. Also, beeswax cleans the air and draws impurities to the wax. Another plus.
Hey Flower, Thank you for this video, It's very informative, you did it with your own graceful way & it was a great pleasure to learn from you - Thank you so much!
Thank you for the detailed video. keep up the great work.
What an amazing tutorial! Thank you sooooo much.
This was so helpful thank you!!!!
Thank you! This was a great video
Omgosh thank you so much for this! Flower, you are so adorable and knowledgeable and I adore you and those outtakes haha!
Flower you made my day. I watched about a dozen of these How To Make Your Own Candle videos. As a beginner I just want to try it. I don't want to get too much into the technicallities of whether it has a bubble or indent or not. But watching your video was informational but fun. I hope to see more of your videos. Thanks
You guys are wonderful.
Thank you that was a great enjoyable video. Flower your an awesome teacher & presenter.
I made my first beeswax candles and I got those cracks and sinkholes, probably because my container was too cold, and not having a heatgun I put my candles in the oven at broil and I worked perfectly well. For those who don't have a heatgun, that could be a life saver ;)
She is excellent in educating so natural and with views back and forth amazing talent, top production!
Thank you Flower you’ve covered everything & yes to a novice like me who loves Candles - it’s doable! This is something I want to get into. I’ll be rewatching this over again before I order the kit cheers Trish
AWESOME!
Great video find!
Very Helpful! Thank you, Blessings!
You are very good at making videos, and teaching. You obviously know your stuff, and enjoy the work.
thank you for going into detail about wicks very important to a newbie to candle making
Thanks Flower - this video has given me the comprehensive information I have been looking for. Others don’t mention the different temps for adding oils and pouring, so I feel when I do start my project, I will be better armed. Gotta get one of those brûlée torches!! 😃
Love these !
Your energy is so contagious and adorable! 🥰
Yay! Thank you!
this was really helpful! thanks!
Made my first candle! Thank you for this video :)
Wow, this is so helpful, thank you!!
We really enjoyed watching this movie. We even decided to embed it as a bonus on our blogpost comparing soy vs beeswax candles. Thank you very much!
Loved it!! Thank you!!
Thank you for this wonderful video! Great tutorial from start to finish. I also made lavender scented candles. Hoping people enjoy them as Christmas gifts!
Thank you so much for the helpful, beautifully done video!
Thank you, Flower! this is an amazing video, lots of details and everything very well explained. I might give it a try! 🐝🕯😉

What a great video. My daughter and I are inspired to make candles. Flower did a great job.🌸🌞🌸 Di from Michigan,
I truly enjoyed your video.
I've watched several tutorials and yours is the best one 👌🏾, so happy I came across this video. The way you explained everything was slow, clear and easy to understand, and I felt comfortable that I could do this from home. I'm really looking forward and feeling confident that I can make my own 😊
Thank you for taking the time to make this video 🤗
Thank you! I am definitely NOT accustomed to being video taped, glad this helped!
Thanks for the tips!
YOU’RE AMAZING! Thank you for creating such a wonderful and information video. Also loved the bloopers at the end! 😂🙌🏼❤️
This was so in depth👍🏽 Thanks.
So glad it was helpful!
Excellent video. Thank you..
I have 8 beehives and started to look around what I could do withy the wax I harvested from the honey frames. You sure captured all the various steps in making beeswax candles. I enjoyed all the intricate parts you explained in every step, pointing out the good and not so good pouring...I defiantly will do some of this in a couple months. Thanks for sharing...Awesome!
Would you consider selling your beeswax? I am looking to making beeswax candles
or even the cones and I will render them
Beautiful video
