In this video I show you step by step how I make my concrete vessels before and after lazering my logo right into the concrete for my candles. My customers LOVE concrete candles. Not only are they so unique, but they’re reusable. We try to use as many products in our studio that are environmentally friendly, and concrete, while super cool, is not biodegradable SO we have a REFILL PROGRAM that has been utilized by many of our customers where they can reuse their concrete vessels over and over while also having fun “making” their own candles. Learn how to make your own concrete vessels start to finish, including how to seal them so the wax or fragrance oils don’t seep through.

Thank you, your work is adorable!
Realy helpful video, you explained everything in a wonderful way.❤❤❤
What a great video and what a lovely voice you have. So soothing. You have a plethora of knowledge and any candle maker would learn a ton just from this video alone. I don't let my dog in my studio as well. Love it!
Thank you so much 😊
What an awesome video. There are simply no words for it. I've learned from you in this 26 min video more than the tens of videos that I've watched. This should be an example of all other videos.
Wow, thanks!
Wow, they are absolutely Gorgeous, very time consuming and the engraving is Stunning. Thank you for sharing ❤❤
Thank you for sharing 😊
I am so thrilled that I found your website! I have watched a few of your videos and you give great information. Thanks for sharing.
Great video and absolutely stunning work. ❤❤❤Love it. ❤
Can't wait for the dust cover video!!! I love your channel.
What a fun tutorial, love the engraving
Love your video - just getting in to trying to make cement vessels and this was just such a good overview of workflow. Really makes it look much simpler than many others I've watched. As for your work surface, I use mainly stainless steel tables for my candle making too. They're great. But i still generally cover them with a large sheet of butcher paper before I work, taped to keep it on the table. Then after the session, I can just throw that away - no need for wasting rolls of paper towel and the constant cleaning. Im thinking that will keep the cement off as well - guess I'll find out this weekend !
The laser looks great! I love the look and the dust covers are nice, especially with the concrete vessels. To me, they look better without the labels. The etching brings it to a whole other level.
I love theses I’ve been wanting to try to make some but haven’t got enough molds yet your videos is such a great one I’ve learned alot
I loved your tour of your craft room! You had your comments turned off. I hope no one was being rude. I thought it was beautiful and the white on the walls was absolutely beautiful and it brightened it up so much. I love how much space you have so everything can be put in its spot and you don’t have to dig to get to it. I thought it was a Makers dream studio!
Wonderful video! Thank you!!!
Thanks!

Thank you so much
Another great video Tracie , can't wait for the next video on dust covers. Curious to see how you cut them for the oval ones. Have a great day.
Thank you Thomas. It’s coming. 😀
I’m excited for that one too!
Do you have a video on how to make the covers?
I love your video. So informative… please make more videos on candle making…
Please make a video of how you do your desk cover
While I don’t make candles you have given me some ideas for other items. Thank you very much. Just need to know how long it takes from the pour time to the un-molding
Hi. Love your videos. Thank you for all the information you give. Just wanted to ask. Do you use distilled water in the cement all? Thank you.
Great video! I’m curious about your refill program and how that works. I also use the same glue to adhere the wicks. What’s the process for when they return the vessel for refills? I would think this glue would be tough to get out. I’m curious about the whole process. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your awesome videos! Do you have a recommendation on Wick spacing or tool that helps make sure everything is straight?
Hi. Love your products. I'm starting to experiment with concrete lately. How do you ship them without lids? Do you shrink wrap them? Thanks!
What size wicks do you use for your oval candle? Do you use the same size for all of your vessels?
Thank you for the content!
Thank you for the info. What lazer engraver brand do you use?
I would love to join a class from you on the label making, I have a Cameo 4 I’m still trying to figure out how to use, I guess it’s similar to the cricket,
Hello there..found ur video while looking for candle making ideas and it was great.i've learned a lot.keep shining queen.i was looking for the video u mentioned at the e d about the dust cover and couldn't find it..can u write down the link..thank u
Hello Tracie, just wanted to say I just found your channel last week and absolutely love it. I am just learning about candle making and your videos are so helpful in helping me understand the industry before I get started and invest any money. I loved hearing about your refill program and how you let your customers know that their vessels are nearing their end. With that in mind I was wondering if you had any experience with making dust covers out of seed paper? I would like to see these beautiful vessels have a life beyond candles besides storing q-tips, pens etc. Have you tried seed paper? Is it worth the investment? Is this something the average customer might enjoy? Thank you and keep up the awesome videos!
Thank you Daran and welcome 😊 Oh yesssss, I have plans to make ALL my dust covers from seed paper. I’m absolutely obsessed with them. In fact, I have already started a bunch of recordings on how to make your own, start to finish, that will be printed on seed paper. Great minds think alike 😉 keep watching. And thanks for the comments 😌
Fro where you buy your wood wicks?
What kind of wicks you use?
Where do you throw the water in which you soaked the pieces? Can it clog pipes?
How long does it take to dry before you move onto demolding
would you happen to know what laser engraver was used or the wattage of the laser?
How did you stamp your Vessels?
I am.about to start a wax company. You have been very very helpful..
Do u do courses..
I live in Germany
Hello! Question why do you allow your vessels to cure in the Rutland for 7 days and not 48 hrs?
Hi, I love your video. I am deaf therefore I cannot hear you. I could pretty much figure out everything by watching. The only thing I could not figure out is the brand of the laser machine you were using. Do you say it in the video?
Tracy, how do you make your candles for your refill program? Normally, we glue the wicks to the bottom 🧐 TIA
Are you sending the customer the Wax, replacement wicks and FO and they melt and mix together themselves?
Hi there! Love your work !!!!
I was wondering if sealing the vessels stops scratches. I have pretty long nails and as I de mold I notice some scratches on the vessels I’m wondering if I did something wrong or how to get rid of it
First THANK YOU 😊 and second…hmmm…do you waterbathe your vessels after de-moulding? I feel if your nails scratch the vessel while de-moulding, they’d be surface scratches that would dissipate in the waterbath. To be honest this is new to me, my nails don’t touch my vessels while de-moulding the way I roll them with the meaty part of my hands…but everyone has their own technique so I can see how this could happen. Can you try adjusting your technique to avoid nails touching vessel? To answer your question, I would think the sealant should make it disappear? I’m gonna test this. Totally new but I’m intrigued. 😄
Wear gloves.
Do you sell a wicking guide?
What do you seal your concrete vessels with
What’s the trick with wood wicks? Mine either won’t light or barely have a flame.
Go check out my video about wooden wicks. It should help you ☺️
Where did you get your red colour concrete mix bucket
Amazon
Can you share the company information on who does your jar engraving? I can’t find them.
It is a fellow here in my town. Google Woodnt It Be Nice If
That funnel is the best. Nothing worse than a wax spill on the concrete. You can get it off with a heat gun an isopropyl but it's pretty much not worth the work. Where did you get it?
I get mine off Amazon
How long do your vessels cure before you have them engraved?
A couple days maybe.
Where can I get the globe marble
Glob Marble website.

Great overall video, but I have to say something because it's more often than not stated wrong here on TH-cam. Your vessels are made of cement, not concrete. They are not interchangeable words. You even said you used CementAll. Cement is a component of concrete. Concrete is cement, sand, an aggregate such as gravel, and water.
Cementall is concrete. It's a rapid setting, high strength modified concrete for repair work. The list of ingredients includes cement, sieved aggregate and several other add mixtures including super plasticizers and accelerators.
It's great stuff and it's by definition, concrete. 🙂
What Mike said lol.
