OMG love this and you are so sweet and a perfect explanation that took away all my anxiety. i was just contacted for a teambuilding activity and this was just IT.
Thank you soooooo much for this video!!! I will be having my first Candle class next week and I’m so excited!! Thank you again and good luck with your channel and business ❤❤❤
New viewer here! Thank you so much for shedding some light on how to run these classes! I started by business in 2021 and have always wondered what hosting a class would look like. This was super helpful!
Great video! And very helpful, I am thinking about hosting my own candle making workshop and was curious about the wax pouring. I love the idea that you just pour the wax for everyone yourself to decrease liabilities.
Thank you so much for this very helpful video. I have been making candles since 2020 and my friend keeps telling me to start hosting these parties. I just don't feel i know enough. I am very nervous
This is such a helpful video! I'm hosting my first candle class at the end of this month. Can you please share where you got the bottles you placed the fragrance in? Thanks so much!
Hiii Steph! New subscriber and love your videos! We have been exploring and have been asked about classes too! Need more space so it will more than likely be in the future! Lol. If you don’t mind me asking what are you BBC barging per person for your class?! Thank you!☺️
Thank you for sharing!! Do you have a reference you can share for using drops? It sounds like a cleaner method but I just don’t know how to measure how many drops based on the FO percentage. Thank you!
Great question! Yes, the mini beakers that they are mixing the fragrance oils in has lines on the side and I just show them which line they need to fill to for the right percentage for the candle :) Hope that helps!
Very helpful video. However, fragrance oil should be poured at 185 degrees in soy wax. If they’re not melting their own wax, it’s going to be much cooler than 185 degrees by the time everyone gets their melted wax to begin mixing their fragrance oils. Fragrance may not bind in wax properly. This is the part I need to think through.
Hi Steph! I want to start hosting candle making classes and i just started making some of my own to get a feel of how to do it and I’d love to get to know more! How many ounces are your tins for each person? What’s the ratio of wax to fragrance that you have each person use?
Amazon! I think it was this one (and they don’t take them home - I clean them and reuse them for each class): 2PCS Candle Wax Making Pitcher, Measuring Cups Stainless Steel with a Spoon, Double Boiler Wax Candle Melting Pouring Pot, Milk Frothing Pitcher Cappuccino Cup 20oz, Dripless Pouring Spout a.co/d/b8j8Xd4
Great question! I use a presto pot - I think smaller is better so that you’re not waiting super long for the wax to melt like I would be if I used my big melter.
Hey Steph! Thanks so much for this info. Super helpful. How do you go about them mixing fragrances that haven’t been tested together? Do you just stick to your baseline wick size for all the candles they make? Thanks again!
Thanks so much for your video--I wanted to ask about paperwork (not seeking legal advice) but where did you get the information needed for any forms participants should complete prior to for legal purposes -was this something you researched yourself and could do on your own or any recommendations?
Thanks very much for the advice I’ve been making candles for some time now I am going to be hosting my first candle making workshop for Mother’s Day hopefully it’s goes well ❤❤ @idaccandleco21

My friend just brought this idea to me over the weekend and all of your ideas are so great! Thank you so much for this!!
So glad I could help!
Hi I want to organize a candle making party for Mother’s Day. May I ask what kind of wax do you use that will cool in an hour?
I loved this video! It was amazing! We’re looking to start this clases soon and makes me nervous but you just have me a boost or confidence!
So glad it was helpful! Good luck with your classes!!
This video is extremely helpful, have my 1st party scheduled for February.
So glad it helped! Good luck 😊
@@hellobushyl Thank you 😊
Really enjoyed ur video!!! Very informative!
Thanks for the video. I’ve been asked to host some classes, brainstorming ideas on how!
Awesome! Good luck!
Love it, such a cool idea
Great info

I’m pretty sure they’re from ULINE!
@@hellobushyl thanks so much for responding! I appreciate it ❤️ you used the 4 oz bottles?
Hiii Steph! New subscriber and love your videos! We have been exploring and have been asked about classes too! Need more space so it will more than likely be in the future! Lol. If you don’t mind me asking what are you BBC barging per person for your class?! Thank you!☺️
Thanks for watching! I’m not sure I understand the question - do you mean what am I charging per person? Right now I do $40 per person 😊
This is so helpful, but how are you getting the wax to dry so quickly so that its easy to take home right after?

@@hellobushyl yes it does! Thank you so much!! 🫶🏽

Love this! Can i ask what wax you use?
I use 464 soy wax!

My tins are 6 oz each, I do 10% fragrance oil but I think you could easily drop down to 8% and still be good.
Same question I had lol thank you for answering!
Great video! Where did you get the metal pitchers from to give to the attendees? I’m hosting a candle making class for Mother’s Day!

This is super helpful, thank you! I would love to host one and wasn't sure how to start. Appreciate you!
Glad it was helpful!
how do you make labels on the spot? what do you use to print and create labels?
Would love to have a copy of the sheet you give out
How do you control the temperature of the wax?
What wax melter do u use when hosting classes?
Great question! I use a presto pot - I think smaller is better so that you’re not waiting super long for the wax to melt like I would be if I used my big melter.
Try not to overthink it,,,people who sign up for these classes will get to know each other.
What cities are these classes held in? thanks.
Hey Steph! Thanks so much for this info. Super helpful. How do you go about them mixing fragrances that haven’t been tested together? Do you just stick to your baseline wick size for all the candles they make? Thanks again!
Correct! I’ve done enough testing to see that the standard wick I use will burn well with whatever combo they end up using. Great question!
What size individual pouring pitchers did you use for the class?
I think they’re 32 oz. I got them on Amazon and I love the size!
Is there any worry about sink holes fixing or heat gunning the tops to make them look better?
I haven’t found it to be an issue - I do smaller tins for this reason and so far no one has given the feedback that they have trouble.
Thanks so much for your video--I wanted to ask about paperwork (not seeking legal advice) but where did you get the information needed for any forms participants should complete prior to for legal purposes -was this something you researched yourself and could do on your own or any recommendations?
Great question about paperwork - I would recommend asking a lawyer because you never know state-by-state what sort of stuff is required.
Thanks very much for the advice I’ve been making candles for some time now I am going to be hosting my first candle making workshop for Mother’s Day hopefully it’s goes well ❤❤
