So Pretty!!!! 🌻🥰🌻 I agree! 💯 I stopped this summer to take pictures of a sunflower 🌻 field! They were gorgeous with the morning sun shining on them! Most times it's the simple things in life that give us the most Joy! 🌻🥰 I especially Love Nature! Happy Soaping! Thank you for sharing. I'm been watching your videos like it's a Soaping Marathon! Love & Light coming your way from across the states... from Rochester NY 🧡🌟✨
Oh how I miss sunflower fields. I haven't seen any up here in MT yet. At least we don't have any on our side of the state that I've seen. The canola fields are beautiful too though. I real show stopper!
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!
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!
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 :)
@@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.
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!!
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!
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.
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!
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 🌻 🌻 🌻
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 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
What if you just brush the inside part with a nice dark brown sparkly mica? That was as it melts it adds a nice hold sheen to the welted wax and it’ll just be a bit easier too
In my experience, that doesn't work. The mica just picks up with the wax and moves. I've also brushed it on after the fact. In the five years or so that I've been making them, I have tried different ways, and I always come back to this way. It's just my preferred method, even if it is tedious. I always appreciate the brainstorming though!
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 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...😎
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!
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!
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.
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!
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
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.
Love your video and your sunflower melts are gorgeous. I looked up the site for the glitter but how did you get it to where it's sprayable and where did you find that sprayer it's in? Thanks.
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! 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
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. ❤️
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..
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 🥰
have you thought about using a painting brush to do this part of spreading the brown in the center? maybe it would be easier and simpler, you can use those water painting brishes that are made with silicone fibers(i think) so that the hairs dont come out in the liquid wax accidentaly.
What I like about the dropper is that I push out and pull back the wax as I go. The wax solidifies so quickly that I don't think a brush like that would work. But it's worth looking into for sure. Thanks!
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.
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. 😀
I’m hoping to learn how to make scoopable wax as well once I find wax for it. My local soap making store doesn’t seem to carry what I need so I may have to order from the US.
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.
That sounds like an easy way to do it too. I don't have an oven in my work space and the heat gun works fast without having to wait on the dispenser handle to cool down.
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.
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!! 💞
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.
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.
Love these. I did try them myself and the first brown part totally went away when I put the rest in. I did wait about an hour and a half before pouring the last part. What did I do wrong?
@@moriversoap when you was doing the yellow/orange Hun. Did you have to keep reheating as if I leave mine to long it starts to set. And I'm worried if i keep reheating it will effect the scent. These you have done are absolutely beautiful
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.
I was just watching you make your pink sugar cookie wax melts, the comments were turned off, so here I am. I loved those, they were great. All your wax melts look delicious. Do you use candle fragrance or can you also use fragrance that you use for soap ?
Thank you. Every fragrance oil will have different usages. Check the usage rates for each one to know for sure. Many fragrances can be used for both but with different percentages.
@@moriversoap Thank you, I will have to do more research for sure. Yours are so beautiful. The way you always say it smells so good, I can just about picture that. :-) Have a great day !
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! 😀
Always a breath of fresh air and sunshine on your channel, Holly! Thank you! 🌻
Thank you Dayna!
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.
Holly what a neat idea. Love your craft style and your helpful tips. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
So Pretty!!!! 🌻🥰🌻
I agree! 💯
I stopped this summer to take pictures of a sunflower 🌻 field!

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 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.
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
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.
How delightful. Watching your video has certainly brightened up my day. Thanks, Holly.
Thank you Nancy!
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!
Beautiful wax melts. I love Sunflower 🌻 they are just a happy flower.
Thank you Charlotte!

You are so warm hearted and motivated, when you work, that keeps the attention of your audience!👏✨🥰
Thank you Elizabeth!
They are beautiful and it was definitely worth it doing the brown centre. ❤
Can you just brush some brown mica or pigment on the brown part of the flower? Might make it easier and faster.
That’s a good idea. I’m sure there must be a cleaver way to work around that.
I was going to suggest the same thing! I work with molds for epoxy and brushing with mica is so fun and easy!
I have done that before on several different projects. I don't get the color payoff and the end result that I prefer.
@@moriversoap Ahhh...I feel you! Sometimes you just have to do it the hard way for it to be right.
They sure are beautiful.

Thank you Chrissy!
Beautiful sunflower wax melts Holly! 🌻🌻🌻
Maverick is so funny! Handsome Cow-Boy in the pasture! ❤️❤️
Thank you Barbara!
I just brush on mica powder after the mold sets. You could set the wax on a cup warmer to kept it warm.
Those are such purdy wax melts. Thank you, Holly

@@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!

Thank you! Sunflowers are just the best!
Your sunflower's were lovely, and to say how large they are, it melted down beautifully. 🥰🐾🇬🇧

Love this video. Wax melts looks great.
Holly, have you ever thought of painting the center instead of adding the wax? It may be simpler to deal with.
I have tried very different techniques to color the center. I just prefer the wax.
They are called "evening sun"...the orange sunflowers you were talking abt..they are beautiful...
Oh awesome! Thank you Rosa!
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.

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.
I put my dispenser upside down on a paper towel lined baking sheet in the oven to get all the wax melted out. Super easy 😊
That sounds like an easy way to do it too. I don't have an oven in my work space and the heat gun works fast without having to wait on the dispenser handle to cool down.
@@moriversoap yes! The handle does get super hot!
Those are absolutely gorgeous! All of your videos are great, but I especially loved this one 💕☮️💟🌻
Thank you! It was a fun one!
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.
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 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!
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.
Beautiful! I have these molds and I think I will try to make these
That's awesome! How did it go?
I absolutely loved your sunflower. melts. The video. It was very informing. Thank you..
Thank you!
The pancake thing is genius. Thanks
It really works wonderfully!
Love these. I did try them myself and the first brown part totally went away when I put the rest in. I did wait about an hour and a half before pouring the last part. What did I do wrong?
Thank you! Hmm...most waxes should have been well set by then. Was the room temperature warm?
I would say comfortable but that would be 54 year old comfortable. Lol. So maybe it was a little too cool. What temp did you pour the second part?
Love this video. But if I was to do this by now my wax would start to set. How do you over come this
Thank you Karen! Do you mean for the brown middle part? I did have to reheat the wax a couple of times.
@@moriversoap when you was doing the yellow/orange Hun. Did you have to keep reheating as if I leave mine to long it starts to set. And I'm worried if i keep reheating it will effect the scent. These you have done are absolutely beautiful
@@karendoulton2440 Gotcha. No, I don't have to reheat it.
How do you get the cooled wax NOT to melt when the hot wax hits it??
I find the best is to make sure the bottom layer has set up really well. If I pour too soon, I will get some melting.
@@moriversoap thank you
Or you could use fabric drawstring gift bags, the see through type to put them in as gifts.
Typically, we want something that is going to 'seal' in the scent.
@@moriversoap ah I see.
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.
What do u use wax melt for because I don't see wicks on it
Be sure to check out the end of the video where I show how to use the wax melts. They are for use in wax melters/wax wamers.
Wow I was just sad looking through my waxes and realizing I was out of this one. I was gonna ask if you were making it again ☺️
Yay! I am so glad that you like it!
I was just watching you make your pink sugar cookie wax melts, the comments were turned off, so here I am. I loved those, they were great. All your wax melts look delicious. Do you use candle fragrance or can you also use fragrance that you use for soap ?
Thank you. Every fragrance oil will have different usages. Check the usage rates for each one to know for sure. Many fragrances can be used for both but with different percentages.
@@moriversoap Thank you, I will have to do more research for sure. Yours are so beautiful. The way you always say it smells so good, I can just about picture that. :-) Have a great day !
How do I buy this!!!! I love sunflowers!
Thanks! Mine are sold out for this year but for reference, my website is moriversoap.com.
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! 😀
What if you added blue dye to make it green so it has the brown centres, yellow flower, and green background?
That would be pretty for sure.
