Wow . I came because I wanted to learn how to properly put crystals in my candles I am a beginner in this field… didn’t expect to learn some very cool things!! Brilliant!!❤️🙏 Everything is energy and frequency bless you 🙏
Thank you so much for this very informative video. I’ve always wanted to try candle making but found other videos to be a bit confusing and hard to understand. Can’t wait to watch more of your videos xo
Dear Kirsten, you r the sweetest! Thank you for your lovely feedback. That means a lot to us. So lovely to hear that the video was helpful. We will def come out with many more. Wishing you so much fun at candle making - it is a really meditative exercise and you can put so much creativity and love into it.❤
Beautiful clip, I love your simplistic approach. Well done and I look forward to following you and your sister Love and light 'An harm none, will it be' 🧙♀️🦉💟
I really learned some valuable techniques in this video and I really like the tubes you use for the bath soak. Do you have a link to where I can purchase the empty tubes?
thanks nicole - I got the tubes from alibaba: german.alibaba.com/p-detail/Test-1600219919261.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normal_offer.d_image.31454113I3GLBZ&s=p

Beautiful! And love your energy & care that you put into what you do. I’d really like to know what sort of container that you used for the bath salt? ❤️
Hi Rhonda, sorry but I don't remember anymore where I got those from. found some options on Alibaba if this is helpful: german.alibaba.com/p-detail/Test-1600219919261.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normal_offer.d_image.31454113I3GLBZ&s=p
Hi Priya, we don't give lessons - but there are two videos on how to where we share our formula to calculate the wax and oil ratios. We are based in Europe and so we source most of our stuff from the UK (candleshack shop).
thank you for sharing! i love your packaging process. it's well packed but still pleasant to look at when you open it. could you please share where you buy your boxes from? tx!
Dear Adi, thanks so much for your feedback, appreciate it. I got these boxes from amazon.de. happy to share the link with you: www.amazon.de/Faltkartons-Versandkartons-Kartons-KK-26-1-Wellig/dp/B0721QHPG7/ref=mp_s_a_1_21?dchild=1&keywords=amazon+kartonschachteln+25+set&qid=1614296139&sr=8-21
Hi Gemma, thanks for the Q. I design the lables in a programme called KRITA and print them out on sticker paper with my printer. A very manual process but fun.
Hi Dinesha, thanks for the question. No, the label doesn't melt when the candle is burning down. The burning flame doesn't come in direct contact with the label. The jar does get hot but seemingly not hot engough. :)
Hi Marisa, there is always some risk connected with adding items to the candle. I prefer to use very little flowers and not put them directly near the flame to minimize the danger. once the pedles are immersed in the wax the ods get lower that something could happen. when using crystals make sure to use those that have a very high melting point. that reduces the danger. never leave your candle unattended and follow propper candle care and burning instructions.
We used Krita to create the logo. It is a great program for sketching, painting, making logos and thumbnails. I really enjoy working with it. Loads of possibilities and loads to still learn about the program. Wishing you a lot of creative fun with Krita:)
Hi Kaytee Lynnn, thanks so much for your lovely comment. Happy to share with you: the dye is 'Bekro Dye' (250 turqouise). Here is the link to the website - also got the oils from there too: candle-shack.co.uk/ Have fun on your candle making journey!😘
Hi Kiecia, thank you for your question. We have a video up about learning to measure out the wax you need. I use this formula to find out how much wax flakes I need to fill a particular jar: JAR SIZE - 20% OF THE JAR SIZE = AMOUNT OF WAX YOU NEED TO FILL THE JAR. ex. 350ml - 20% of 350ml = the correct weight of flakes: 350ml - 70ml = 280ml/g once you calculated the weight (280g) you will take that number to calculate the fragrance percentages. ....hope this makes sense otherwise I will make a video to explain. much success and fun!
Hi Diam, I have actually collected many of my crystals over the years. But when I do buy them I go to this store which is an online shop in Switzerland:www.kristall-schweiz.ch/default.asp
hi! i have a question: basically i've been making soy wax candles with a bit of coloring and essential oils (such as patchouli and clove) and i tried topping them with dried flowers and small gemstones (such as quartz or mokaite) and each candle i made had a problem with having a very small flame.. at first i thought it was because my container was too big for a single wick but then i made very small candles and they have had the same problem.. is it possible that the stones and flowers are actually drowning out the flame? or anything else? i need help :(( i really want to make spiritual candles but i can't seem to get the technique right :((
Hi Eja, thanks so much for reaching out. This is indeed a difficult one as the answer can't be pinned down to just one reason - it could be an interplay of a couple of things. First off let me say that I went through about 30 tests before I discovered the 'perfect' wick, jar, wax, dye and fragrance combination. A couple of tips that I can share: 1. make sure the stones and decorations are not cloging the wick (less is more in this case) 2. same for the dye and fragrance - find out what is the maximum fragrance load for your wax and try using that same exact amount or less (ex. C3 nature wax can hold up to 6% of fragrance not more). 3. are you using a good wick for your type of wax? - reasearch on that 4. what is the diameter of your jar and what diameters are recommended for the wick you are using - try testing the recommended size wick for the diameter of the jar as well as a size bigger and smaller 5. and most importantly - don't give up. It is just a matter of time till you find the perfect fit. much success and joy on your candle making journey!
It's exactly what you said, it is a heat gun:) Here is a link to an example: www.steg-electronics.ch/de/product/alphacool-hardtube-heat-gun-pro-2000w-19930204
@@thotess i use the heat gun to melt the top surface of the candle so that i can put some decorations on the candle:) once the wax dries again.. the decorations on top stick to the candle and don't move around the surface.
Hi... Im yudhit from trans7, one of the television media in Indonesia. After we saw this video, that you made, we were interested in using it in our TV program. We asking your permission regarding of that.🙏🏻
@@keepupthegoodness Thanks for your respons before.🙏🏻 We want to use this video on "Sehat Santuy" program. The program explains how we can live healthy in a simple way. and your video to explain the uniqueness of candle making 🙏🏻
@@yudhitaanugrahputri6702 hi Yudhita, that sounds lovely. I like your mindset. Our channel stands for creativity and positivity and we want to bring joy to anyone who watches. Would be great if you could also share a link to the show with us once it is up. Thank you and much success with the show.
Hi Kate, you can put the jar in the freezer over night which will allow you to remove the wax much easier. Once the big pieces of wax are off the crystal you can wash the crystal with warm water and sope (soy wax can easely be washed off with soap)
Hi Cindyboo, thanks for your question. You need to make sure to use crystals with high melting points - not all crystals are good to put next to the candle flame. Putting the crystal as away as possible from the candle flame and into the wax helps prevent damage to the crystal. Hope this helps.
I also make candles but I have a question... If I put plastic beads instead of the decoration you had put...Does the beads will melt or have smell? &Do I can put another layer of wax on the beads? (I am using Paraffin wax) + I really loved your video so much and took from it so much informations❤❤
Hi Sara, thank you for your lovely message and the very good question. From my personal experience..I would advise to use glas rather than plastic. The reason being that plastic (depending which sort) is likely to melt in the flame but maybe even in the hot wax pool. There may be a pontential release of fumes from the plastic which i would advise to avoid. Another alternative is sugar like suger beads or cake decorations. ..but even with those I would be careful. If you plan on selling your candles the determining factor will be your product liability insurance - where you will need to clarify if the insurance will cover the product including decorations. From an insurance perspective any added decoration to the candle other than wax means a potential hasard. But please don't let this message discourage you in your creative process. Always continue being creative, continue evolving your craft and keep the goodness coming! If you r interested we r planning the next video about candle testing and candle safety coming soon - some lessons learned on the journey.. Wishing you a marvellous day and thank you for reaching out.
Hi Jaden. Understand your point😅 I could have used the kitchen scale when filling the jars instead of eyeballing it. However I wanted to show that you don't have to pour soy wax in one go different to other waxes. Could have done this in a better way. Thank you for your comment😊

hello is it safe to lit the candle while the crystal and dry flowers on the candles?
Hi Marisa, there is always some risk connected with adding items to the candle. I prefer to use very little flowers and not put them directly near the flame to minimize the danger. once the pedles are immersed in the wax the ods get lower that something could happen. when using crystals make sure to use those that have a very high melting point. that reduces the danger. never leave your candle unattended and follow propper candle care and burning instructions.
