Always a breath of fresh air and sunshine on your channel, Holly! Thank you! 🌻
Thank you Dayna!
They’re beautiful!! Thank you for taking the time to make them so happy!!
Thank you Jill!
How delightful. Watching your video has certainly brightened up my day. Thanks, Holly.
Thank you Nancy!
Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful sunflower 🌻 wax melts!
You are so warm hearted and motivated, when you work, that keeps the attention of your audience!👏✨🥰
Thank you Elizabeth!
Those are so pretty! I enjoy when you show us other beautiful things you create along with your soap!
Thank you!
Holly what a neat idea. Love your craft style and your helpful tips. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
I totally loved this demo. Sunflowers are a very favorite flower for me and my buddies the squirrels. I bought the reddish Mexican Sunflower Seeds and a few bronze shades of Sunflowers last year but did not plant them but I’m going to this growing season.
I love how you take such good care with your making and your animals ❤
Thank you Alison!
Thank you yes sunflowers. When you put sunflower in bowl to melt as it melted it reminded me as fall comes before sunflowers fade into another season. I've seen a field of sunflowers it's a beautiful site like field of hay or wheat. I can stand on the ridge looking out see field of rolls of hay with trees climbing the other ridge at a distance with the river that runs around large area. With all kinds of wildlife. The colors from spring to fall.
Absolutely stunning. Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge free for beginners. I hope your generosity in sharing your tips comes back to you 10 fold in prosperity for your business. Thanks....all the way from Australia. xxxxx
Oh these are so pretty! The sound it makes when they're demolding is super satisfying too haha
Thank you! It does make a fun sound.
Wow Holly great job! I ❤️ sunflowers they are my favorite flowers!!
Thank you! Sunflowers are just the best!
Beautiful wax melts. I love Sunflower 🌻 they are just a happy flower.

Just beautiful....love the design....beautiful.
Thank you Diane!
Those are such purdy wax melts. Thank you, Holly
Thank you!
Very relaxing, love your sunflowers 🌻
Thank you!
Beautiful sunflowers. I love them too. One of the local communities here have planted two large swaths of sunflowers in the median of the local expressway. Such a pleasant surprise 🌻 🌻 🌻
That's amazing! Sunflowers are just so gorgeous!
One of my absolute fave fall scents, love it! 🌻💜
Thank you Teri!
I admire how dedicated you are to the smallest details of your products.
Thank you! I try to be detail oriented.
Beautiful Holly your sunflowers are gorgeous, Maverick was funny lol and hello to the cow awesome thanks for sharing. 💕💕
Thank you so much!
🇮🇩 And bulls
Ohhh… one of my favorite wax melts from you. 😃 Looking beautiful as always.
Yay! Thank you Teresa!
I grew up in Kansas, and my mom had giant sunflowers that grew outside her kitchen window. This video makes me a little homesick, and definitely nostalgic. These wax melts are super cute!
That's awesome! I bet it does make you homesick. Such a great memory.
Oh, we just love these🌻🌻🌻🌻- and the little bit of your home garden/animals 🤗 We have a few stems of sunflowers on our kitchen table atm. My husband and I are from Kansas (state flower is the sunflower) and we took a road trip to visit last October (we're in WA now). We got to see the sunflower fields being harvested and it was so cool.
Thanks for sharing! We've got some of those red sunflower around our neighborhood and they're definitely a beautiful variety.
Oh how fun! I never have gotten to see fields and fields in Kansas but I would love to!
they are just beautiful sunflower melts holy x
Thank you!
What a great presentation! Thanks for sharing your talents and I enjoy listening to you! Greetings from Buffalo NY ❤️!
Thank you Cynthia!
This could not have shown up at a better time! I had made the decision to start making wax tarts/melts and was drawing sketches of a few of the ideas I've brainstormed. Your video showed up at the right time and your tarts/melts are similar to an idea I have. Thank you!
Oh fun! Thank you!
Your sunflower's were lovely, and to say how large they are, it melted down beautifully. 🥰🐾🇬🇧
Thank you!
This is so lovely, thank you for sharing.
These are so pretty! My coworker loves everything sunflower, she needs to see these. You are a great soaper! I just did a review video on one of your farm house soaps. Excellent quality!
Thank you so much! YAY!
I love working with wax but it can be a handful sometimes! Thank you for giving insight on this, love your videos, they help my anxiety 😁
That is true! Thank you! I am glad you enjoy the videos.
Love your Sheltie! We miss ours so much… such a wonderful friend. Anyhow, the wax melts are so cute - yellow is my favorite color! 😄
Thank you! I don't know what I'd do without him!
OMG 😳 these are too cute! 😍
I learn so much from you. I’m new to making.
Thank you!
I know it's still summer but I am looking forward to getting out my fall wax melts! I still have a few from you from last year I am most eager to start melting! Love seeing Maverick and your cow at the end!
Thank you so much Alicia!
Very cohesive video and love the peaceful ending 💝
I agree!
Thank you Sandra!
Thanks for doing this video! I’m attempting to make a sunflower soap and was growling at the seed portion of the flower and recalled you making wax melts. So I came back to see how you dealt with the tediousness of the middle part. Looks like you were having to be as tedious! Haha. Thanks for sharing this and sharing your “annoyance” with the sunflowers. It made me feel justified! So many soapers edit Thor videos to make things look way easier than they are and that’s just not reality. So thanks for being real in your videos. You’re so delightful to watch. You have the most amazing personality. ❤️
Thank you David! I really appreciate that! I do try to be fully transparent in my videos. We all get frustrated. Haha!
There’s a sunflower farm a couple miles from my house. It’s such a joy to drive by in the fall.
Oh so nice! It seems all the sunflowers in the fields are done for this year now.
They are really beautiful and cute and I don't even particularly like sunflowers! You created a beautiful sunflower field! The color is perfect, you don't have to regret that it was a little more orange, I think it's perfect, it's deeper and more original, more dynamic. The dog was so cute, he went straight to the flower and smelled it when you were talking about it just like humans do. Thank you, Holly!
Thank you! I thought it was funny that he did that. I have a really fun picture of him sniffing lilacs from when he was a puppy. He's my best boy.
I just love you so much
You have such a beautiful heart. And you are living my DREAM, girl! Animals, land, and ADORABLE garden up north, and so much crafting! 😁 Sunflowers are my favorite flower! You should consider doing meet & greets for all your fans out here in TH-cam land. Maybe you could bring some of your handmade goodies along for us to purchase...😎
Holly you rock. What a labor of love that was but it was so worth it, they are so cute.
Thank you!
Hey Holly! These are beautiful 😍 gorgeous! So shiny and pretty.
I’m going to grow a big crop of sunflowers again this year, yellow and red!
I’ll send you some photos! My highest sunflower was 6.5feet! 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
That sounds amazing Kasie! I would love pictures! 😀
They're perfect Holly❤
Thank you!
Holly if you leave your measuring cup siting on the ring warmer used to set wax melts container on it will keep your wax warm and it won’t solidify! Love watching your videos!
That's a good idea. I used to use the base of a hot plate type wax warmer but now I don't even know where I put those. Haha!
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous.🥰
Thank you!
The sunflowers are beautiful, so are the ones in yard!
Thank you Laura!
Hi I just watched your how you make soap series 1-3. It flashed up on my TH-cam. It was very enjoyable, very honest and helpful. Thank you for compiling the series. I couldn’t make comment on it.
Thank you! I am glad you came over here to comment. Unfortunately, the older videos are just a platform for the trolls to spread hate and disgusting comments. It was weighing on me too much to moderate those on a daily basis.
Beautiful! I have these molds and I think I will try to make these
That's awesome! How did it go?
Girls love sparkles and everyone like sunflowers. They are happy flowers. Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. 💕👍🌎❤️🙏🏻🤗🌿🌺
Thank you!
I do love your wax melts💜🌻
Thank you Brenda!
The pancake thing is genius. Thanks
It really works wonderfully!
So cute. love the color you should definitely do some of the red ones.
Thank you Chrissy!
Very nice And good tip about the bags
Thank you Karen!
26:59 omg your dog is so cute!!!! I love this whole video lol it made me dream of starting a farm and growing sunflower fields 🥰🥰
Thank you so much! I think a sunflower field is where the future lies!
@@moriversoap yaaaaas!! 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
I really loved the wax tart. I learned lot from you especially making that sunflower wax mold.
Thank you!
I love watching videos on how to make wax melts! These sunflower melts are gorgeous. I would love to know how you made the lead ones with all the colors. Those were so pretty. And your sunflowers are amazing!
Thank you Jennifer! The little leaves were actually soap. Haha!
@@moriversoap LOL!! That makes sense cause I sure trying to figure out how you did that with wax…lol! Anyway, they are beautiful as well!
By the way .. your flowers are beautiful an so is your wax melts. I love them !
Thank you Barbara!
Wow these looks amazing
Thank you!
Beautiful Holly! That's something I haven't done yet but I would like to. Trying to find a good wax for melts is overwhelming I find. I don't have a lot of choices or suppliers up here but I just have to keep looking around I guess. Thank you for sharing!! 💞
Thank you Nancy! We sure do have a lot of options here.
I always wear gloves making my Wax Melts. Soy feels odd on my fingers too lol! 🤣 Plus it's quite nice re heat off of your hand xx
Theses are SUPER CUTE!!
Sunflowers are such Happy flowers 🥰
Thank you Karyn!
Love Sunflowers, these wax melts are so cute!!! I've tried growing sunflowers around my home but the darn chipmunks get them every time...
Thank you! Oh no...naughty chipmunks! We don't have those here.
Thanks for showing us the aftereffects nice video 🤗
Thank you!
Beautiful as always.....
Thank you Danielle!
I just brush on mica powder after the mold sets. You could set the wax on a cup warmer to kept it warm.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Love these. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Brendi!
I love this video. I have watched it numerous times. Question: the leaves at the end of the video.....are they melts or soap? If melts...I would love a video showing the makings of that.
Thank you Stephanie! Those are actually soap leaves that I made for my Maple Leaves soap. I was just setting the scene. Haha!
Hi Holly, I'm Holly. Loved your video
Woooow I love them 😍😍😍
Thank you Clarissa!
Love ❤️ these. So cute
Thank you!
These are so cute
Thank you!
another one of my FAVES! and im out of them lol... the hubby loves these and the poppies and peaches
Oh thank you Kim! Poppies & Peaches is a happy scent too!
I absolutely loved your sunflower. melts. The video. It was very informing. Thank you..
Thank you!
about 10 minutes from my house there's a huge sunflower field. and there's so many different colours of sunflowers. i think my fav are the pale yellow or purple ones
That's sounds completely lovely!
Those are really pretty. How did you make those colorful leaves in the background at the end? Love them as well! Also, where did you find the zip lock polypropylene bags?
Thank you! The leaves were actually made from swirled soap that I just cut with a cookie cutter. I usually get the polypropylene bags at Uline or PaperMart.
These are so darling
Thank you Amber!
Thanks for sharing. They are beautiful. How long does it take to completely melt?
Thank you. It will vary depending on the melter and how hot it gets. Mine are a bit cooler and it can take between 30-60 minutes depending on how much of the wax is put in.
Hi Holly, have you tried dry brushing brown mica instead? Looks good and way fast production. Thanks for your videos.
Thanks! I have tried dry brushing mica and I just don't like how it looks.
Awe... I think the goofy goof ball was playing with a bee.🥰
Oh maybe so! They do have a lot of bees and hornets on them.
Hello, this is a great video thanks for sharing. However is that a spray bottle for the sparkles? If so where do you find such a thing. Thanks and they are beautiful
Thank you! The little bottles are so nice to use with the fine glitters. You should be able to find them at most of the suppliers. Nurture Soap, Be Scented, Mad Micas, etc..
There are also purple sunflowers. These are very pretty
Thank you! I MUST find purple sunflowers!
Love that. Such a good idea. I think they are worth the trouble.
Thank you! I think they are too. I tend to dread the process but it's not that big of a deal in the long run.
You can get those molds at Hobby Lobby or Michaels. The melts turned out lovely
Good to know. Thanks!
WOW! Those are GORGEOUS!!!!! Sunflowers are quickly becoming my favorite flower. Although I love all flowers, lilies, particularly Stargazer lilies, have always been my favorite. But sunflowers... who doesn't love such a happy flower, right? I'm curious though if these will overflow in a Scentsy brand warmer?
Edit, I came up with another question. What all kind of information do you put on your labels?
Thank you! Sunflowers are so beautiful! I don't have any Scentsy warmers so I can't say there. The larger melts like this though usually can be cut in 2-4 pieces. It really depends on the melter, size of room, and scent load preference. I I put name, description of scent, weight, and a general warning.
I love your raised garden bed area!! I'm guessing deer and rabbits are plentiful at your place!!
Thank you! I am loving it also! It didn't do the best (a lot of rain and needed a different soil) but at least we got it built and I have lots of plans for next year already! 😀
very good , learned a lot, thank you.
Wonderful! Thank you!
if you really like them that much you could always make a silicone mold of your mold and then the brown part would be indented in. Use the mold you make to create the center and pop it in these molds to fill make the rest. I know your a busy lady, but could be a nice down time project :)
That's a good point!
Strikes me that as a business person, it's not a smart move to complain about making your product..
@@cryingbroken8824 I was just being honest. But I can't help but acknowledge all of your negative comments. So it's more that you have a more negative take on things than most. We're just all people here. When I see your profile in a comment, I know something negative has arrived. I would more concerned about that personally.
@@moriversoap Agreed. 👍👍👍👍 Even the username is negative.
I don’t think you are negative at all. You are voicing an opinion on how the mold performs. With all of your knowledge and experience you should tell the soaping community especially the newbie diapers the “true skinny” on molds or anything else in the soaping world. Keep the videos coming. I enjoy every one!!
Beautiful
I've missed being able to watch your channel. I lost my old account and all my favorites. Im back tho!!
what kind of melter takes this large of wax melt? I've never seen one that could hold that size. very cool !!!
I wouldn't logically use that much wax for a single melt. I would cut it up. However, some people really do like it that strong. That was just a farmhouse style bulb warmer. Even better is a plate warmer.
Just perfect
Thank you!
Instead using liquid color,use metallic powder color. Pour the wax first,once is dry get the metallic brown color with a brush and paint the wax floor. It’s going to come out beautiful.
I really enjoyed this video it was good idea the sunflowers. I have a lot of mold some similar like the one you used. I'll see if I try this project. I wish you would include the recipe. I just love doing projects at home for myself. I'm an artist my medium is acrylic. But I'm always looking for new project in TH-cam.
Thank you! There is no recipe to share. Once you find the wax you are going to use, it will tell you temperature to work at, fragrance percentage to use, etc.. I put several wax options in the description of the video. My wax is a custom blend so everything is going to be different.
Hi Holly! I love sunflowers too! I have several diffrent types of sunflowers. I have the yellow with dark centers, the red and several others. Have you seen Teddy Bear sunflowers? I grew those this year and they are a shorter type, with several layers of petals with brown centers. They look fuzzy like a teddy bear, they are adorable. Look them up online.
Hope you are gaving a wonderful end of summer, beginning of fall. I broke my back several weeks ago trail riding. My mare threw a hissy fit and slammed me on the ground. I did manage to finish a 7 mile ride however. The next day I saw the Dr. and x-rays confirmed my back being broke and a hairline hip fracture. I was told not to ride horseback for 8 weeks, but two weeks later I was back in the saddle, lol! I'm going again next weekend. Yep, I'm fine. I'm a tough old cowgirl, lol!
My son-in-law insisted I sell my Quarter Horse mare. He's already given me his mare and will find a replacement for himself. Once men make a decision there's no talking them out of it! Kit was a former rodeo horse that had been badly abused. I had worked with her for a year and in general she is very safe. However, abused animals are always unpredictable and that's why I got hurt. Everything is fine now, which I am very greatful for!
Have a wonderful week. Look forward to more videos!
Thank you Jill! I am definitely going to look those up! I'm sorry you got hurt and happy that you are recovering well. The horse is the next animal on my wish list but I don't know much about them. My husband had horses growing up but he's not really 'a horse guy'. Our neighbor has about 10 so I'm hoping she will help guide me when the time comes. 😀
