At the end of the video my granddaughter was waving bye-bye and saying bye-bye bye-bye it was so cute! She’s only 13 months old but she likes watching your videos and she loves the soap because she thinks it’s Yum Yum‘s and your voice. It’s lovely for me because I watch your videos! Even the older ones, I go back and watch your videos.
There is some awesome tips in here! One I had never thought of was running your heat gun over your empty molds to get the frosting out of them. I had always used alcohol. With alcohol in short supply right now, this totally makes sense. It saves you some money too! Thank you for the helpful tips!
I have a heat gun that I used for rubber stamping back in the day. I gave it to my husband because I don’t stamp anymore. Well, sorry baby cakes, the heat gun is comin’ back to mama because I’m going full throttle making these wax melts! I found the silicone molds like she uses on Amazon, so Monday I will have a full-on wax melt factory at my house!!!!!! I LOVE your videos and your voice is so soothing!! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!!!!
Thank you so much for posting THE BEST WAX MELT VIDEO EVER!! I’m serious! I’ve watched so many that do NOT even mention the pouring temperature of the wax!! As chandlers, TEMPERATURES ARE EVERYTHING!! I just wanted to say THANK YOU for providing ALL the information I need to make wax melts. I managed, before watching your video, to successfully pour wax melts with color, FO and mica. I poured a little hotter, because I had no temperature to go by, at around 160. I’m going to use your directions now! Thank you again and much love to a fellow chandler! 💞😊
I made some wax melts today...and they frosted! 😞. Then I came across your video on the subject, and it’s answered all my questions. Thanks Karen, I appreciate your videos...keep them coming x
This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "how many ounces of wax are in a votive?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Panlijah Inconceivable Position - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a smashing one off product for discovering how to become a candle making master and turn a profit minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my co-worker got great results with it.
Just wonderful, been searching for "how do you clean wax melt molds?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Peyaniel Psychological Predominance - (search on google ) ? It is a great exclusive product for discovering the trick to be a candle maker for profit minus the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend got cool results with it.
Your wax melts are so fragrant that my 7 x 11 office was scented just by unwrapping a sample wax melt I received in my order. It promoted me to order nearly a $90 set. I did get maybe 27 was melts. Each are so good! Even the ones I thought smelled not to my liking, when melted have become my favorite. And, I've discovered that all of them can mix well. I will use three cubes of different scents to make an aroma that lasts weeks!
Just wonderful, I have been researching "what is the best wick for soy candles?" for a while now, and I think this has helped.

Oh I love glitter and I can see it !!! I was in some doubt that it was not going to show through but the glitter just is beautiful. I'm going to try adding glitter. Thank for the vitio
I can’t express how much I appreciate you and your videos. I learn so much. I would have never thought of using the heat gun to get the wax off the side of the jugs! This is genius! I would imagine it works the same when you’re pouring lotion bars or salves?
So in love with candles, and decided to learn how to make my own, and popped through your page, amazing tips and descriptions.. sty safe and blessed! ❤️❤️ Lots of love and appreciation from Dubai 🥰 #Subscribed😍
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. You were very thorough and so helpful! Awesome... God bless you always.... ❤ Much love and respect!!
I use one of those electric turkey roasters as my wax melter. It holds like 30 pounds of wax and then I can just turn on the wax when making candles and turn off till my next session. I scoop out my wax to my pyrex colour and fragrance. When I am done just unplug til next go. They are like 29-39 cdn here. It tucks a way nice too if u want.
the molds have a white film on them from previous wax melts..before using use heat gun on them lightly..will restore them back to original color and no frost will show up on wax melts..
Love these tips because I'm using the same molds. I found that for my wax, the max T I can have when pouring is 55 Celsius, above that it's a nightmare when it comes to unmolding, a real struggle! Putting them in the fridge (I don't have a freezer) also helps indeed. Have you considered getting one of those small heart molds for the extra wax? That could make a lovely sample (and numerous!)
I am very new to all of this but very excited!! I received this mold, but i'm not sure how much wax each mold hold? Thank you for your videos! love the step by step process for us newbies
Great video for a total beginner like me. Can I ask though how to avoid some wax breaking off and sticking to the mould when getting the melts out? Thank you
i love your videos don't know if you get messages on older ones - but it would be great to know how to extend the length of time a wax melt smells - and anything on preventing frostng
I put my wax melts that I bought from you into my pillowcases they smelled so lovely, LOL. I meant to use them for melting but they also make an amazing sachet. Love the candy bar format!😀Jen
I brought a wax melter pot and it was the best thing I ever done. I love making wax melts. I have yet to try the wax colors, I have been using liquid or mica , but I have noticed that I have to use more to get the right color. Do you think I should try to use the wax one ? God bless you.
Love watching ur videos❤ Question I've made my first wax melts & used a silicone pumpkin mold I tried & tried getting the smell of the fragrance oil out of the mold Don't have that problem with soap but the wax I do How do u clean ur silicone molds for wax melts???
Another tip would be to use your heat gun on the mould prior to pouring, as in a minute or so before. It helps the wax to not stick. Also using this wax, if you blend it with another wax that will also help to reduce the sticking and the cure time. This wax needs 2 weeks cure time 💓💓💓
In use metal jugs they retain heat longer to give you more time to pour (heat it with a heat gun) also heat my moulds so no uneven edges .. Never any frosting
Hey Karen! Great tips and tricks, thanks for all ya do. They still make me think of some decadent chocolate bars!! Hee hee ; ) Have a nice weekend...Big ((Hugs)) and Love from Texas!! xoxoxo : )
Lots of great tips! Btw, those used to be called orange sticks, I think because they were made with orange wood, but have no clue if they still are!🙏❤️
Hi. I love watching your videos. I stated making my own melts at home, just for fun. 1st batch was great. 2nd batch harden every way but it seems to b very wet in the middle. I’m using silicone moulds. Any advise why this is happening and how I can fix this issue. Thank you 😊

You can heat wax then cool it down then reheat a few days later?
Wendy’s Wee Suds yes large companies do it when they blend their waxes. I do all the time.

Hello to you in North Wales from me here in Cumbria
Great information on wax Melts! Thank you for your valuable time and information!!
Great tips as I am about to make my first batch of Candle Melts,
If u are using silicone moulds give them a warm up with the heat gun or pop in microwave for 30 secs to a minute
Thanks for the tips, never thought of the heat gun before.
This is incredible!! Thank you so much. Very educational ✨
Hi, I loved this video, I'm totally hooked! Please can I ask a question, how do you achieve the gorgious pearly glittery swirly effect? Many thanks X

Do you use normal glitter or biodegradable glitter?

Hello Karen, where did you get your molds please? Thank you for all the great tips!
Out of stock but this is where I got muy moulds www.siliconemoulds.com/category-49.html
Love watching ur videos❤ Question I've made my first wax melts & used a silicone pumpkin mold I tried & tried getting the smell of the fragrance oil out of the mold Don't have that problem with soap but the wax I do How do u clean ur silicone molds for wax melts???
Thankyou, very helpful for beginners!👏
Another tip would be to use your heat gun on the mould prior to pouring, as in a minute or so before. It helps the wax to not stick. Also using this wax, if you blend it with another wax that will also help to reduce the sticking and the cure time. This wax needs 2 weeks cure time 💓💓💓
No it don't. Package them up right away and by the time you sell it and the customer uses it...it's cured enough
hey there, this was really interesting, thank you :) I was mesmerised by the glitter! Could a hairdryer be used instead of the heat gun?
Maybe on low with high temp otherwise the wax will blow out of the cup
It can be. It works but it's slower. A heatgun will definitely be better if you can get it :)
Well done you! Great tips! 💕💕💕
I just love making wax melts xx
Just subscribed. Brilliant content!
In use metal jugs they retain heat longer to give you more time to pour (heat it with a heat gun) also heat my moulds so no uneven edges .. Never any frosting

Sorry just found my answer in your links!!
Thanks Karen, awesome tips!
So add making wax melts to my list of thing's I wanna attempt alongside CP soap
Dont bother with cold process if you're wanting something you can enjoy without waiting a month! Hot process is where its at!
Great tips!!! Can I use the same silicone mold to make embeds for soaps? Thank you.
Thank you for sharing! Great video!

Great tips. Thanks Karen
What wax do you use may I ask. Looks amazing.

@@EdensSecret1 Thank you
May i ask, is the glitter "just: glitter ? Crafting glitter ? Fine between chonky ?
Thank you! Great video! Is there a reason why you didn't start mixing into a Pyrex rather than pour it in later????
Can I ask what wax are you using please x
Can u melt wax melts and mix it with soy wax to DIY candles
What does the X stand for
Lots of great tips! Btw, those used to be called orange sticks, I think because they were made with orange wood, but have no clue if they still are!🙏❤️
Thank you so much for this video! I’m going to have a look at the rest very helpful. Can I ask how you wash your molds?x
Hi !may I ask can we make another fragrance in the same mold after we clean up the last one? Or will smells mix?
Thank you for sharing your tips. They are very useful 💙💛💚
Could I use a hairdryer instead of a heat gun ?
