Thank you guys so much for watching, I hope you found this video interesting!
So I decided to start making my own vessels since many times finding candle containers is a bit expensive and sometimes it takes a long time to arrive to me, so in making my own, it gives it a more personal touch and makes me feel more connected to my craft.
** UPDATE
I am No Longer Using ParaCoco Wax, I am Currently Using
Ascu-Soy 10 Wax ( all natural, Vegan)

You are so welcome ❤️
Thank you for posting, I love all your videos :)
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much I was looking for a way to make my vessels other than resin. You rock thank you again
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
I appreciate you 💗
Awesome!! Love it!!

Very nice! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Very very beautiful thank you for sharing 😊

I enjoyed your video -- bathtub for barbie lol -- thanks for the tutorial. I'm going to give this a try!
Thank You so much for watching :)
Yes! Looks just like a bathtub🛀 for Barbie 😅
Love these..thank you
I’m happy to know you enjoyed the video! ✨
I came across your channel and it’s lovely! I was looking for what I could use to make my concrete vessels a nice white! and thank u for making this video I used the titanium worked 👍🏻 and I just love 💕 the little bird 🐦🥰🙌🏼
Glad it was helpful!❤️
the little bird is the cutest!
Thank you!!
I love these. I've been wanting to do concrete work but was concerned about colorants...that additive to make them white is a huge help
Have fun! xoxo
I loooove this video! I’m so glad you made it to 1,000 subscribers congrats!!
Thank Youuu!!!!! 💖
The titanium canceled out mica acrylic paint would show up but titanium makes it pastel
Great video! Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome! ❤️
Pretty 😍
Thank You!!
If you put some talcum powder between the mold and the support, it will slip right out.
Thank you so much for this video. I been wondering why my cement wasn’t staying together
Awesome video! Thank you! I subbed
Awesome, thank you!
This is so cool. And the way you explained everything was amazing! You should really consider delivering these as paid for classes! I’d definitely pay! ❤️
Wanted to ask you how you go about making the concrete candle vessels in bulk? How long it usually takes you? And how long must it totally cure before you can make and burn candles in them?
I’ve been looking to buy concrete candle vessels but now I’m thinking of making them myself 🤔
Hey!! I'm just reading this, sorry for the late reply. I actually do not make these in bulk. However, I typically like to cure my candles for 2 weeks.
Thank You for the nice comment!🥰
I’m not sure what happened in the end there lol 😂 it’s been a while, but I hope you got some helpful tips
I’ll review my videos next time prior to uploading 😂
There goes my “ perfectionism”
Hi🖐I absolutely love this project. I have a few tips to share,they have sponge paint brushes in a 2pm different sizes at the dollar tree. Use gorilla glue clear in bottle ,the holes is perfectly ok PEOPLE who appreciate handmade will definitely overlook that.
Mold release helps.
Love those molds especially the one with the lid is gorgeous, thanks so much for showing me how to make them cause I can't find any jars. I definitely am going to try this! God bless!
Please let me know how they turn out! ❤️
Love the hair
Thank You 💖
Just an fyi polycrylic puts off toxic fumes! Try earth safe finishes preserver/sealer
Polycrylic has a water-based formula, so it's more environmentally friendly-it cleans up easily with soap and water and its VOC (volatile organic compound) levels are much lower, so it doesn't emit the noxious fumes of solvent-based finishes. (Manufacturers still recommend adequate ventilation when using any finish :)
Hi there! Love ur video! If I can suggest using iron oxide to color your vessels! U add a small amount into the dry cement and mix well then add water … there are a lot of colors on Amazon 👍🏼🤗
Great idea!
oh em gee i never thought to make random objects handles 🥺
What do you seal them with?
I love to watch your videos and this was perfect. I would like to have some ideas about how to make candles with gold or silver coating.
Gold or silver coating sounds fun! Have you tried using Mica powder?
@@heavenandlimes Acrylic metallic paint would work but never tried it personally :)
Very informative video, great talent and inspiration. I have a problem hearing you although my phone volume is all the way up, I switched to my wifi speaker and had to turn the volume all the way up. Please adjust, thank you, great presentation.
Thank you for the insight. I have upgraded to a new mic. ✨
For the oval mold you've gotta turn it upside down and give it a shake that should do the trick 😊
Thanks for the tip!
Love this! Thanks for sharing, I'm curious tho, do you need to seal the outside of the concrete? I keep getting these streak lines and do not want that on my final product
You don’t need to seal the outside if you don’t want to, however the inside you must.
I like to use a soft sponge, you know those cheap yellow ones from the dollar store, they help avoid those streaks, I believe I demonstrate this in my video :)
@@heavenandlimes Thank you so much! I appreciate your insight!!! Wishing you the best!
What do you use to seal it, is there a brand that works best.
Nice
Thank You for watching ✨
This is the first video I’ve watched having just found out about this product.
May I ask, did you train yourself at home ?
I learned watching TH-cam videos! :)
Hello Mariana thanks a lot for this video. Small question do we need to wax the container that we u use for candles?
I’m not sure what you mean by “waxing the containers”, however, you’ll need to seal the inside of your container with polycrylic to ensure that the wax from the candle doesn’t seep through and ruin your vessel.
Thank you so much for this video. It has a very beautiful sheen. That sheen is because of cement or titanium dioxide?
The sheen is coming from the polycrylic. :)
you should get silicon whisks.
Cool too! Thanks!
Hi there new viewer , Love the cement vessels but how do you take care of the small cement holes little small holes those are really nice I just started making candles around March in the process of testing and I really like the cement molds and a little bird on top of the vessel looks really cute
Hi there! Thank You for your questions. I personally haven’t tried this, but a lot of people swear by it. This should help with the holes..
a.co/d/frIdmRn
What you do is, once you have your cement mixed, all you do is set it on top of the vibrating machine and the bubbles should start to pop, once you set it to the settings that make you comfortable.. hope this helps ☺️
Love this!! Great job!! Can u let us know where to locate that beautiful mold ?
a.co/2tuMGDx
The oblong mold will almost fall out if you hold it lightly and shake it bottom down a bit
Thanks for the Tutorial! I got My TD today from Amazon. May I ask if you have a link for the large round mold? I’ve purchased 2 and they are small Smh. Thanks again.

Thank You so much for watching 💖
hi... are you using just a regular cement that can be bought on any hardware?
I’m using cement all from Home Depot
How do you keep your wax from separating from the sides of the vessel?
The wax actually did separate, very slightly though..
Hola Mariana, love your tutorial, donde puedo compar ese molde hermoso?
Hola Amiga! La information está en la cajita de descripción ☺️
Si no lo consigues, envíame otro mensaje ❤️
What was third component ? I heard Cement, Titanium Dioxide and what else ?
can you suggest an alternative to the polyacylic?
Although I have not haven’t had any experience using it, however a lot of people have good things to say about Rutland
Hi love your work what wicks are you using ? I didn’t understand what ptw paper ???
Hi thank you so much!
I am using 5.5 paper core wicks
May I ask for the link please? Or where you bought the wicks, thanks and so pretty vessels congrats Mariana,
Hi, and thanks for the sharing your experience. Can we add some acrylic color when we use the titanium dioxide or we can’t use any color?!
Hi! Yes you may add acrylic paint. Make sure you ask your supplier for the exact paint for your concrete. For example, when I went to The Home Depot, I asked an associate that works in the concrete or flooring section. I talked a little about my project and what I was wanting to accomplish. He then showed me several acrylic options specifically for concrete. Hope this helps you. Thank You for watching ✨
@@heavenandlimes yes, it was useful for me. I appreciate that and good luck...
@@heavenandlimes hi, thank you for sharing. Would it be OK for you to share the brand of paint for concrete?
@@heavenandlimes Hi Mariana, love your tutorial! When you say acrylic paint are you referring to the ones painters use? Im not from the states so I want to be sure what kind of paint to buy
@@RKRP14 hi
Yes, the acrylic paint I am referring to is actually the one painters use :)
Just wanted to know with paris and plaster it tends to dry damp what does that mean its like it takes longer to dry and when its dry i add my wax in then the product cracks over time
Hi there, don’t use “Paris and Plaster.” The brand seen in my video works best. If you are not able to get that exact brand at The Home Depot, let me know, I’ll try to find a similar product for you.
Hi Mariana where did you get the molds with the design at , please ? Thank you for sharing.
Amazon.
Links are in the description box.
Thank you so much for sharing! What’s the benefit of the titanium dioxide?
Hi 👋 so the titanium dioxide simply changes the color of your cement to white :)
@@heavenandlimes ahh gotcha! Makes sense. I’m about to grab my Home Depot order I can’t wait to get started. Thank you so much and can’t wait for your next video :)
Thank you soo much for the video!!! Can someone pls help me … as soon as I add acrylic color into my mix it hardens and i add more water then after pouring it into the mold there is alot of extra water … im so lost
Yes, it will do that, my best suggestion is to use powder acrylic specifically for concrete, they are a bit pricy, however they will help,you obtain the results you are hoping for. Try getting to your nearest hardware store, Lowe’s or Home Depot, mention the project and ask them about a powder alternative for your colors. Let me know how it goes xo-Mariana ❤️
Can you share where you purchased the vessel with the birdie

If you can learn to use a dental lab vibrator, your pour without bubbles will be more reliable. They're only about $50 on Amazon. Be sure to bubble out your cement before you pour and as you pour.
🤩
Have u tried adding terrazzo to your work?
I have never heard of this..
how do you clean up after you're done? I'm scared of washing the concrete on my regular sink...
Great question, I use plenty of hot water and pour it in my backyard.
Hi, tô use these moldes do i need to use some product to non stick or its Not necessary?
hello, to use the molds you can use them as is, no need to add any additional products. hope this helps! xo
What is the inside diameter of the cilinder vessel?
Internal diameter 2.95", internal depth 2.95",
Where did you get the bird mold????? It's soooooo cute!!!!
So cute 🥰
Amazon 💕
What type of silicon molds is these? Because my silicon is really hard and really typical to demould from concrete vessel, almost my vessels have been broken during demould, plz suggest me
I got mine from Amazon
www.amazon.com/dp/B08Q4JC81K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_M4NCNESPW1Y6Q4XCG560
plz can someone tell me more about how to make silcon molding or send me videos
Hey! Sorry for the late reply. The silicone molds are from amazon! here's the link!

Hi, I purchased these same molds. My first try turned out pretty good but I noticed the mold wasn’t perfectly shaped correctly. Odd shaped circle and the lid didn’t fit the container. Did you ever run into this with yours?
hi, so yeah, a few of the molds had imperfections that I had noticed after I had already made the concrete vessels, reach out to Amazon customer service, they usually are very good in returning or replacing your items. xo
Thanks, your video was great though and it was fun to make. I love the white concrete look
@@josephvictora thank you Joseph!!
Does it matter what kind off cement to use as some cement iv seen been used we don’t have it in uk
It definitely matters what type of cement to use.
@@heavenandlimes well what cement do I have to look for
How do you clean up the leftover cement residue? Does it just wash down the sink or would it harden in the pipes?
this is a great question! I dilute the remaining residue with plenty of hot water, then i simply dump the rest outside in my back yard. As long as the residue is diluted as much as possible, you should not have any problems :)
@@heavenandlimes Thank you so much 💖
@@KM-pq8rv Certainly!
What would you use to attach the bird to the top of a vessel lid
My husband purchased gorilla glue that says, “ for cement”, and it works.
I use cement glue from the dollar store
Hi! do you know if the polycrylic sealant emits toxic fumes when the candle burns?
That’s a great question, unfortunately I don’t have an answer 😕
the Minwax company that manufactures polycrylic has specifically said they do not recommend using their product for concrete candle vessels. hope this helps!
@@morganunraveled many thanks! Do you know any alternative?
@@adrianarodriguezk.9431 I use Rutland’s sealant!
Can u tell me what size vessel and where did you get it from ( the oval one please)
Hello, the link is in the description, I believe it is the 3rd one down. 💕
@@heavenandlimes thank you
Este é cimento branco ou tem que ser cimento específico preparado pra fazer este porta planta ou porta vela
Isto não é cimento branco, tem de ser especificamente preparado com dióxido de titânio e água.
Ok só dióxido de titaneo e água? Qual a medida da receita,aguenta temperatura pq é pra fabricação de velas na peça fabricada.
@@cleliosilvasilva1659
Vai precisar do seu cimento, estou a usar "cimento tudo" nesta receita, não uso medidas específicas. Em vez disso, medo a olho nu. Para os moldes que vê no vídeo, creio ter utilizado cerca de 1-2 chávenas de cimento, e cerca de 1/4 chávena de dióxido de titânio com cerca de 1/2 chávena de água, misture até obter uma consistência de massa de bolo, misture bem, evite os grumos. Se precisar de mais dióxido de titânio, adicione-o, se precisar de mais água, adicione-o. A ideia é obter a sua cor branca com uma consistência de cimento suave.
What sealant is that?
The sealant is Polycrylic
Hi, what's the purpose of Titanium dioxide, just to whiten the mixture or?
Hi! So yup, the titanium dioxides sole purpose is to whiten 🙂
@@heavenandlimes thank you :) One more question, someone says they soak products in water for days, after demoulding them. Do you do that also?
I oil the inside walls of both pieces of my oval mold and it slides right out:)
Brilliant!
How many oz of wax does this vessel hold
A comfortable 170g or 6 oz.
Hi where can we buy these moulds
Hi links are in the description box. Thank You for watching :)
Can I use plaster of Paris instead of cement?
I’ve never heard of this :(
What kind of cement did you use?
Hello, what product are you using to make your vessels?
I am using Cement All
Can I also use white cement with the cement all? Does the titanium dioxide weaken the mix ?
Where do you get the titanium colorant?
Right here: www.amazon.com/dp/B015OS95U8/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_30QP76VQWPSDQREWA63E?linkCode=ml1&tag=hlcc07-20
Thank you!
How did you keep the detailed mold to keep its shape? I ordered it and poured today, it’s wonky shaped? Did you somehow brace it?
Hey 👋
So the first thing to consider is your concrete. Are you using Cement All? Second, insure that you are not over filling, next be sure that your concrete consistency is not too thick or else it will be heavy and cause the mold to be “wonky”
allow your vessel to set anywhere between 4-24 hours.
Let me know if this works ✨
Hello What type of wicks are those ? and Where can I purchase them ?
Hello these are ptw- paper core wicks in 5” I purchased these from candles and supplies, These wicks work well with the paracoco wax used in this video. :)
Thank you
It's me again.check this out ! You can ADD to your collection.
Marble art DIY ,repurposing vase,glass,plates using nail polishes.
Think the possibility
Awesome! Thank You ❤️
I tried this with cement and it all broke. Do you have the link to your cement mixture?
Oh no. How long did you wait before de molding? Cement all is excellent for this project, super solid. I don’t have a link with measurements or anything since this information will vary depending on your mold quantities etc. All I did was mix my water and cement mixture until I got a pancake consistency a little bit on the thicker side, but not too much, mixed until my hands hurt, then mix some more. Poured into my molds, and literally waited until the next day to de mold. Hope this helps a little. Try again! You got this!
@@heavenandlimes I waited until the next day before demolding. I am located in Australia so there is no cement all. And i read online that cement and concrete is not the same. :( I'm trying it again today. Hope it turns out well today.
@@MrSheetshit Yes, correct, cement and concrete is Not the same. I hope your next go is much more successful ❤️
DId the site launch and unlaunch already ?
my site launches, this fall!!
@@heavenandlimes okay, cool! Can't wait!
Great video. That's a lot of fragrance oil though, and more like a 17% fragrance load.
You are correct!
That is way to much titanium dioxide!! You can use just a spoonfuls or 2! it cost too much to use so much just a cost thing for me! Just a thought
Thank You for this. What ratios do you suggest?
Thank You for watching :)
@@heavenandlimes think about in your soap making? I make 5# loaf I will use one teaspoon in that amount of oil. It's a trial and error but cementall is pretty close to white as it is, so I would add it in powder form to your cementall and take notes, if one is not to your liking go up, but yesterday I had a heart flutter when I saw you using close to 4 oz. I hope this helps. I new to making vessels but been doing soap for year have fun!
tiky
Lol in TH-cam time
😅
Omg.. very dangerous advice.i have made these and u don't need 2 wicks.u need heat resistant paint inside. And u need to leave them to cure at least 2 weeks to let the water out the cement. Or they cracked with the heat.
The decision on when to use a double wick is more of a personal choice. We have known candle makers to use double wicks in smaller diameter candles and others that prefer a single wick in a larger diameter candle. Testing is the only way to determine which wick choice (single or double wicking) is best for a particular application and will achieve optimal burning characteristics.
In this case, testing has been successful using the method demonstrated in my video.
Create at your own risk ⚠️
