When you realize that the candle will not come out of the mold, you can put it in the freezer, it will cause the mold to freeze and separate the candle from itself, and with a few gentle taps, the candle will be separated from the mold, and whenever you want to leave a mold for a short time. Let's use a lot and make candles quickly. You can put the method in a mold, it will solidify it quickly, and tear it again and make another candle. In this way, you can make several candles in one mold in half an hour.
these are amazing ! little tip: If you weigh your candle after unmoulding it gives you your wax weight so you won't need to keep melting more wax and will have the right amount for next time, also Adding more wax into fragrance wax will only burn the fragrance out and adding more fragrance will invalidate the clp as its only take 8 to 10%. 🥰 i hope this doesn't come across rude I just wanted to help 🥰
Just to advise also, your meant to let soy wax set for 24 hours at least and cure between 5-14 days. Most soy wax have a 10% fragrance oil hold. Meaning if it’s 100g of wax you need to add 10g of FO. then let it cure for at least 5 days. This is so the wax and FO can just combine together. The cold throw and hot throw afterwards is just Devine!
Hi Sophie. I enjoyed your video. There is a couple of corrections I would like to make not because I know much, just on the candle making course. One very important, heating with microwave is very dangerous. If the wax is overheated then can go in fire as it would be inside your microwave but then outside.... The other one is, there are some mould releasers around, like this spray. You can spray the mould with it before pouring the wax in. For releasing your stuck candles I suggest you to use hairdryer, heat the side of the mould then you should be able to pull out the candles 🕯️🕯️
Hard plastic mold tip! If you struggle to get the candle out pop them in the freezer for 5 or so minutes :) Worked a treat for my skinny tall dinner candle molds.
I just typed how to make candles and i found your channel.... I’m so pleased and this video was so satisfying to watch🥰 Also your hair and personality is just so amazingly beautiful and refreshing😍
hi! for those square plastic molds, you should try to put them in the freeze around 10 minutes and then sink them in to warm (almost hot) water for around 5 minute with turning the sides and try to pull the candle out. If it doesn't came out, try to put it in the freezer again for 3 minute. (or repeat the cycle again) and done :) This work for the soy wax candle :)
Hey, Sophie! The candles are beautiful, it's so calming to watch this process. If you can, on your next time making candles, could you show us a little bit of how to clean all the utensils you use in the process? I've always wondered if it's too hard to clean the melted wax. Thank you and hope you guys are well!
CONGRATULATIONS to all of the winners - i have commented on their posts who has won which candle. Thank you so much for watching this video and entering this giveaway. Winners please email: sophie@sophiehannah.co
Really would love to get my hands on some of these moulds to save costs when starting my own business 🙏🏽❤️ I have never won a giveaway so crossing fingers for this one!!
2 and 4 are actually unreal! Would love either. I started making candles and soaps in lockdown 1 and this has deffo given me the inspiration to get back at it! 🙌❤️
I loved this video! I just started candles, and do have problems with sink holes and bubbles sometimes. Very informative and I love your close-ups on what your doing. Very helpful. More candle videos! 😀
I love #5 & #6!!! Although the nude lady is awesome too!! I would be happy & grateful to win any of these! I don’t know if it’s too late to win one, but I enjoyed watching your video and watching how they’re made!
Because you're using soy wax, it shrinks in the cold. So next time, rather than running under warm water, try putting them in the fridge or freezer for a little bit. You may still need to bang a little, but I think it will work much better for you 😊
Does your soy was get sticky or melt in hot weather? I heard it melts too sticky or sweats … so I don’t know what was to get ☹️ I wanna be sustainable but I also want a durable candle. Any suggestions? Or experiences ? Thank you so much
Been making beeswax candle for years but now looking at doing some soya. With beeswax you have to use different size wicks for different size candle. Otherwise they dont burn properly. I see you use the same size wick for all your candles dose the wick size not applies to soy wax. For those candles you were having trouble getting out from the mould you should coat the mould with silicon oil.
The candles are beautiful...maybe you should buy mold release to use in those types of molds. I have seen some TH-camrs using that to help. I hope that helps and also try putting them in the freezer that will shrink them some and they should come right out. Leave them in the freezer for about 10-20 minutes. Those two tone candles are really beautiful. Have a great day and rest of week. I'm new at candle making myself and love watching others it's refreshing. 🤗🕊️🌹
I’ve been a beginner and I’ve read so many different methods like stirring the fragrance in for over 2 minutes. My only problem has been I can’t get my candles to smell when they’re lit. I use the soy wax but I think it may be the fragrance brand I got? I’ve heard that can affect the scent throw. Any tips??
@@sophiehannah_ I’ve never known what the right amount to pour is I’ve always seen different methods so I’ve tried all amounts, I’ve heard soy wax could be challenging to work with but I like that it’s eco friendly
@@haileyservidio9486 take a look there, I just bought two different brands and it's always written on the label. I even want to see if I can find other brands because these two that I bought use the entire bottle of essence in a medium candle and it became a little expensive
Omg!!!! I so hope you get shared more on TH-cam. I love watching your hair coloring videos and hairstyling. Wish you the best!!! My favorite candles you did is nude body and the bubble one
Blue is actually my favourite colour, any light shade of blue is very eye catching. Would love to have number 5 because it's different, and I've never had a candle like it before, also this is the second time I'm seeing them on your channel. Stay safe!
Hi Sophie. I made my first lot of candles today using the same products as you and when taking the angel out of the mould the wings snapped. I left them for 6 hours do you have any tips please. Is pillar wax better to use. Thank you
Getting the candles out the moulds is super hard! Did you slice down the mould like I have? Maybe you need to slice a longer line down the mould to help
@@sophiehannah_ Thank you so much for replying. I have made a slice now. It does leave a mark on the candle. It was all going fine until I took one out of the mould this morning and she snapped 💔
You legally can not give any of these candles away as you do not have a CLP for any of them. You did not measure out the fragrance out correctly and if there is too much the candle will become a fire hazard. If you give it away and that candle burns incorrectly or someone has an allergic reaction to the scent and you don’t have insurance you could face legal issues and fines from Trading Standards as you did not provide the ingredients list prior. You need to do more research before you go ahead and tell thousands of people the wrong thing to do it’s a huge health and safety issue you are playing with.
Thank you for your concern. Yes you are right I probably shouldn't be giving away these fragranced ones as I didn't measure it properly. Thank you for flagging. I have done research and the information I gave in regards to 10% fragrance to oil is correct (between around 5-10%) and it does need to be measured out. I don't have any scales to measure which is why I popped a few drops in. However these are display only candles - I normally only display them at home and don't burn them. I received many questions about adding a fragrance which is why I featured it within the video. I will make these candles again for the giveaway however unscented and as I always was going to, include a safety guide
Heat the jar and wick with a lighter, heat gun or a hair dryer, this helps the jar and wax bond more and also just add more if it still occurs, hope that helps
Omg yess to showing the full process!! Also, I want number 1 that nude lady one 😍😍😍😍😍 Hoping youtube boosts your videos more because I love your videos and watch every week! 😀
As a Chandler who does this for a living, I am begging you to not send these out to the public without extensive testing. I would hope you have correct insurance before you give these away and also the correct CLP as this is a legal requirement. You need to do much more research before posting this kind of content out to your followers who are going to go away and copy your methods. There is so much wrong with this video.
Thank you for your concern. This video is just me sharing a new hobby I love. I have not claimed to be a professional candle maker and have left links for research. I have learnt this process from other youtube videos online. I have the correct insurance however I wasn't aware of CLP so I am going to remake these candles unscented and sent plain soy wax candles. Along with candle safety instructions and also display only disclaimer. I don't burn my candles I like to keep them for display. In regards to measuring the fragrance i have read in numerous online sites about the 10% ratio to wax, so I believe that fact to be true. However I know I should be properly measuring the fragrance, but I don't own scales and this is just a hobby I'm doing at home like a lot of people are.
Thank you Jean, for an informative video. What fun to create your own scented candle and the tins are sooo cute. Miss A keeps coming up with more and more awesome cosmetics, beauty tools and skin care items, and now there is something for the hobbyist too! You rock! And you fill a much needed gap in the world of beauty. Love you.
Super gorgeous, they all turned out so well! 😍 Number 4 Virgin Mary is my fave so would looove to win that 💚 Stunning batch all round though, you’ve become such a pro so quick! 🙌🏻
my father and I are starting out own business selling candles. going to maker events and flea market events is how we plan to do it for a while before pushing out further with a store front. candles, resin, and witchy stuff is what we will be selling. our business's name is The Raven & Crow
Your videos keep my spirits up every week Sophie! 🌹 And all your candles are gorgeous! If I won I would love the Virgin Mary candle (4) it’s so beautiful!!! Would be so lovely to have something that you have made.
number 2 is ANGELIC!!!! ah i cant even with the gorg tones and your tips were so awesome. I hope those 2 stubborn candles eventually came out unharmed :)

I've thought about making candles myself and watching this video really helps, so thank you for this video. Number 5 is the one that I love.
To unmold tricky candles you can try putting them in the freezer for a bit then unmold
Great video. I can't decide, love them allllll. I think number 1, 2 or 3 are my favourites. ♥️
Pop the container candles into the freezer for about 10mins then run under warm/hot water and they will slide out :)
Yup, I had problems with the fluted moulds until I popped them in the freezer. Worked a treat.
Really would love to get my hands on some of these moulds to save costs when starting my own business 🙏🏽❤️ I have never won a giveaway so crossing fingers for this one!!
2 and 4 are actually unreal! Would love either. I started making candles and soaps in lockdown 1 and this has deffo given me the inspiration to get back at it! 🙌❤️
You’ve inspired me to try and do it myself eventually. I’ve got a candle addiction 😂
I’d love the Virgin Mary 😍
Excited to watch. Can't wait to see more of thiss 😻❤️ Love them all 😩 Virgin Mary and Praying hands are my favorites 😍 number 3
Found you by looking up how to make candles with a silicone mold. Just got my first 2 yesterday and I had no clue how to use them.

does anyone have any tips on making these body candles smooth? Mine have like textured parts and little indents, anything would be appreciated.
Dealing with the same issue
Pour it a big warmer and pour somewhat fast
Good video ❤.
Stick it in the fridge for 10 minutes and it will come out or use a silicone spray before pouring the wax. That helps as well.
Hello, I'm very new to candles and may I ask what's the best wax for pillar candles or the ones on silicone molds? Thank you.
That’s what I’m trying to figure out
using this video to make my first candles right now! so excited, this is such a great tutorial
What is the appropriate temperature for pouring wax into a silicone mould?
So helpful, so informative and so beautiful. I would love to have number five the large bubble candle 🕯. 💚💚
Does your soy was get sticky or melt in hot weather? I heard it melts too sticky or sweats … so I don’t know what was to get ☹️ I wanna be sustainable but I also want a durable candle. Any suggestions? Or experiences ? Thank you so much
The nude #1 it's my favourite I think. So beautiful 😍

are silicone moulds reusable?
Yes

how to avoid sinkhole in candles?

Omg this video is sooo helpful. Thinking of getting my own stuff to try !! My favourites have to be 2/3/4 well they all are amazing
You can try putting the square candles into the freezer for about an hour and then usually you can take it out perfectly
OMG they all look perfect!!!!
Would loveeeee the little angle number 2🎀
They're fab, as always! :) I'd love number 5 because they remind me of your bubble braids!
Amazing! I would love number 1 or 5,they're beautiful!! 😍😍😍

Hi, I have just started my candle making, thanks you for the tips.
