    A Tip. The long candle wicks that you cut off can also be used for future candles. Attach one end of the half wick to a metal paper clip. Just slide the end between the inner and outer curve of the paper clip. Voila, you have base for the wick. Use just as you did the new ones clamped in a metal base!!!

    For the "syrup" on the ice cream, maybe freeze the candle first, so when the hot wax hits the frozen wax, it freezes in place, like a drip cake. Or possibly let the hot wax set up just a bit so it's thicker.

    Bethany, your candles look so great!
    Back when I used to make a lot of candles and soaps, I had all dedicated pots, bowls, cups, and mixers. I stored them all in two separate lidded, plastic totes. Not everyone does that, I learned by experience. One holiday season, I attended a Christmas open house and there were some goodies that tasted super perfume-y. A lot of us were kind of baffled and just politely avoided those goodies. It was later rumored that our crafty hostess had used some of her kitchen equipment to make her candles and had later used some of that same equipment to make the treats. I believe the connection was made when the Christmas candle gifts from her later smelled the same way those cookies tasted. 😂😂😂 Y’all don’t poison your family or guests! 😬😎

  • @HakimaLamour
    @HakimaLamour ปีที่แล้ว +38

    A pro tip.. please make sure you are using the right size wick. You can’t use one wick for a candle vessels. You can drown your wax and it won’t melt or you can heat up your vessel way too much and can potential burst your vessel.And some vessels need more than one wick depending on the size of the vessel you are using. For example, the glass mugs from dollar tree requires two wicks to burn evenly.

    • @TheUnderCoverMother2020
      @TheUnderCoverMother2020 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Yep.. lots of test burns! Wick will make or break your candle. I've had to double wick anything at 3 inches across. Otherwise melt pool doesn't reach the edges... I use Hemp wicks.

    • @TheUnderCoverMother2020
      @TheUnderCoverMother2020 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @@taylornation320 I make candles with wax decor on top, you just have to know the wax and wick you are using to know if it will handle embeds. As long as you wick properly adding embeds isn’t an issue.

    For a darker brown wax, use black and brown alcohol inks. Drip the colors in and stir the melted wax until you get what you think it will be close to when hardened. The alcohol will burn off in the hot wax and shouldn't affect the aroma of your finished candle. Good luck, fellow crafters!😄

    You were informative and I honestly love that you don’t edit out the small blips like how the first hot cocoa wasn’t the right color or when you started whisking your wax too early. I’ve never done anything like this so it’s just as helpful knowing what to avoid and look out for instead of having textbook perfect tutorials where everything turns out flawless on the first go.
    Plus, you’re like a REAL PERSON and not just a manufactured content farm.
