I Tested Clickbait DIY Candle "Hacks"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2021
- Hello friends! So, previously we have tested out many a bizarre hack video -- from beauty hacks, to fashion hacks, to photo/video hacks AND soap art hacks -- from Blossom, 5 Minute Crafts, and others -- and in general, I have not been impressed. BUT, a couple of months ago when I stumbled upon these beautiful CANDLE art hacks -- I fell in love. These are the coolest candles I've ever seen and I needed to have them. So we decided to pick out a few key candle art hacks and see if they are just pure clickbait, or if you can actually make any of these crafts IRL. We tried a margarita jelly candle hack, a whipped wax latte candle hack, and a wax cherry blossom tree hack. What do you guys think of our final products??
What do you guys think of these soap hacks??
You can check out the Blossom videos that contain our hacks here!

EDIT: also, the wick we used for the cherry blossom hack was pre-waxed! it was a roll of pre-waxed wick :)
HELLO FRIENDS!! hope u all are doing well! in this video, we test out 3 ~viral~ candle art hacks and honestly, they didn't turn out all that bad!! what do you guys think of our attempts?? xoxo, saf
Try to make crayons. That would be cool lol!
The wax to wick ratio was wonderful
you should do a lipstick candle
Great job!! The final results were very impressive aesthetically for all 3, all things considered.
Please do more with jelly soap/jelly wax/maybe even Jello someday! It's so fun to watch.
Can you test cheap / recommended clothes from shein or try tiktok hacks
As a bartender who makes my fair share of margaritas, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve overfilled a cup with too much ice and ruined part of a salt rim 😂😂 so seems pretty authentic to me
@@reddishgurl707 the restaurant I work in serves our on the rocks. There so many different variations of the classic margarita recipe, which is the cool part about bartending; there is no one set way to make any one drink.
@@davidroybal2080 just wanted to say I admire your nice response to that snarky comment lol
@@reddishgurl707 There are literally frozen margaritas blended with ice, don't think some ice cubes will ruin it too hard haha
@@reddishgurl707 though it isnt the traditional recipe, of course you can!!! There are recipes that call for ice and some people might want their drink on ice, it wont ruin the flavor
You literally make a boozy slush, why is ice needed? lmfao
As someone who stuck her hand warm wax as a child, I was actually fairly confident in the cherry blossom one lmao
Same 😂
its actually pretty common for ren fairs
Omg same
Used to do that in scout camps when we made candles lol
@@imagery what're ren fairs?
As a candle maker that margarita is a fire waiting to happen. The container is not thick enough and the fact that is gel wax which burns hotter than wax makes it even worse. Also fires are caused by too much fragrance/essential oil and using the wrong wick. And never ever use crayons
i am almost another year in the future
5 tips from someone who's made candles with better tutorials than Blossom's:
- *Glue your wicks to the bottom of the candle before you even start melting wax.* Don't do the latte thing where they just shove the wick in last minute!!! They definitely just forgot it in the video and went like "well it only has to work for as long as it takes to light the candle." Your wicks need to be centered well, in the bottom of the jar, or the candle won't burn right! You can prop them on popsicle sticks laid across the rim of the jar too, to help keep them centered while your wax cools.
- *There's an ideal temperature to add fragrances.* Look it up for the kind of wax you're using. Otherwise the scent oils can bead up in weird ways or just not bond with the wax properly. At best it won't disperse scent well (poor "throw") and at worst you can end up with pockets of flammable oil.
- *Candle making suppliers sell coloring chips.* Saf used one for the cherry blossom branches. Honestly, I was really surprised how well the brown crayon worked for the latte drink candle--normally that doesn't go so well. Coloring chips are much more reliable. Never try to use liquid food coloring for candles, it's literally oil and water.
- *There are lots of kinds of wax.* Even within a category, like "soy wax," there are different consistencies and they're for different things; the wax you use for jar candles is softer than the stuff you use to make pillar candles. Most kinds of soy wax have a lower melting point than paraffin (except the really hard kinds used for pillar candles), and so it probably would have been less burny to use for the cherry blossom thing because it can get cooler and still be liquid. Hard to say without testing though.
- *In the whipping video,* their wax was already close to melting point in the bowl (it was just about to harden). You can see it starting to turn white around the edges of the bowl. It's probably easier if you let it cool off a bit first. It'd probably be a better tutorial if they _told you this._
As always, the tutorials leave a lot out here. Real instructions just don't make as pretty of a video as attention-grabbing jumpcuts. I'm glad these worked out as well as they did though!
(Edit to add extra linebreaks so this isn't such a wall of text lol)
Thanks 😊 but how. Much free time you got🤔
But pockets of flammable oil! It's a risk Blossom is ready to take on your house.
Sis it's not that deep, Saf is doing this for fun and isn't presenting it as a tutorial
@@hmacklemore2226 You misread the comment. They're criticising Blossom, not Saf. Blossom is 100% trying to make it a tutorial.

Sounds about right. They smell darn good 😵💫
If Bath and Bodyworks had any sense they would colab with Safiya. Much like the Colourpop colab it would sell out in no time. I want to see a Colab with Simply Nailogical with Lipstick and Nail Polish duo.
I also want to see her collab with Royalty Soaps. That would be so cool!
Oooh. Maybe like a "Nightshade", a deep purple holo one/floral candle or "Going/Gone Batty" a bat glitter shaped topper!! 🦇💿
Yaasss!!!!! The lipstick 💄 and nail polish 💅 with both of them!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍
i’d be so happy if she did a colab with some small shops… because most of them make everything from hand so the formulas would be so much different than ones mass produced
PETITION NOWWWWW COLLAB WITH SAF AND SIMPLY FEAT. TYLER AND BEYYYYYN
On the margarita candle, perhaps allowing the "drink" portion to partially cool would hold the "ice cubes" up a little better? So there'd be more structure to provide distinction between the colored base and clear additions?
I also agree, scenting the "cubes" would be smart!
Yeah that's what I was thinking
I mean it's common sense i totally agree
The 3rd candle is actually something some do on Vietnamese new year and we stick it onto branches and we leave it in our house. But instead of lighting it we leave it there and get rid of it at the end of new year ( lasts 3 days). If you want to do it I recommend you have cold water nearby and coat the flower 2 or 3 times because it becomes thicker making it less breakable and easier to remove
That's probably where they got it from

my first day of preschool I've been told I made a beeswax candle - the type where you roll up a sheet of beeswax around a wick. My mom says I was so proud and excited at the prospect of her using it. Lo and behold at dinner that night she set it on a candle holder and LIT IT ON FIRE! Tiny me was horrified at my art being destroyed and cried not understanding that candles are very different from my older siblings drawings on the fridge where they stayed safe.
Awww poor you! 😂
I had that too! I came home another day and my mum had lit them and I cried
If I was a mom I wouldn’t have lit it & I would’ve just saved it lolol but that’s just me.
Oh no haha! That’s so sweet and sad
I was the 1 thousandth like. Never before has the opportunity to click that 999 happened to me
Tyler yelling “I Promised my mom” as Saf eats the wax is my favorite moment ever
having Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers playing in the background somehow just adds to the pure chaos that is Safiya putting candle whipped cream on a fake latte
I love when people do stuff like that. Most of the time it’s Waltz of the Flowers and it gets me rolling on the floor.

Safiya's obsession of candles will NEVER get old
more like her obsession with wax🤣
omg you got a heart!
My obsession with Safiya never gets old!

Never thought I’d see you here, what are you doing nowadays?
"Cottage core menorah" - not going to lie, I was legit thinking 'oh hey I could make that for channukah' when it was all lit :D
I had the exact same thought haha
The cherry blossom branches are basically just very oldschool candlemaking. Start with a wick, dip it, hang to dry, repeat for 7 million years until it's thick enough to be sturdy and burn slow. So that's pretty cool!
That turned out surprisingly well. If Blossom starts doing a better job at giving instructions, measurements, and necessary warnings then they could become a legitimate craft channel.
ruclips.net/video/vM6YwVtcJjg/видео.html
As well as actually start doing more real stuff, since they still have too much fake stuff
@@idontknowwhattoput5851 That's true as well.
yeah i mean atleast theyre better than 5 minute crafts lmao
5 minute crafts... imagine the frantic search to add something, anything, to a new video that hasn't been shown 100,000 times already, blah
When she didn't put any scent into the whipped wax after saying putting no scent in the ice cubes were a mistake hurt me a lot :')
I was looking for this comment... Channelling my inner Roxie (from Dead Like Me) I kept audibly telling her through my my monitor "So... add some damn scents, asshole"
In the most loving way, of course, Safiya is MyGaardian (I had to)
Haha yeah I thought the same but then I thought I think their main point was the instructions givin were so vague and whatnot, so they wanted to make exactly what they saw, so no scents lol but yeah that problem could be solved very easily tbh
I see how you think this due to the way it was edited, but in reality Safiya made all the candles before lighting any of them, proven by the shot near the end that shows all the candles with their wicks still white, so by the time she lit the margarita candle and realized it needed scent in the cubes, she had already made the other two candles so it was too late.
@@trudy8950 Ahh that explains it as well! Thanks for clarifying, I wouldn't have noticed that! Also, to reiterate, I didn't mean what I said in any negative way at all :D
This woman is saving me so much money, time, and frustration by doing all of these 'quick' and 'easy' hacks so I don't have to.
is it just me who loves the way saf talks? her voice just gives her so much personality and the minute i hear her talking i get happier
"Bouquet of matches" and "cottagecore menorah" were truly excellent quips

@TommyInnit 🅥 Hello fakeinnit
The latte candle is something my grandma used to sell at her antique store!! She sold them in flavors like fruity pebbles and cereal flavors and cookie or seasonal flavors! she didn’t make them but they looked darn cool.
Safiya: Is this a fire hazard?
“Candle”: *has a billion wicks*
“Candle”: *literally has highly flammable material for a base*
“Candle”: *making of process is from a content farm and is literally a burn hazard before the damn thing is lit*
… you might wanna have a fire extinguisher on standby next time you do Hacked Candles…
It’s always good to be reminded that the hair twisting thing was not a fever dream and I did actually beg for it for Christmas. And then used it approximately three times.
I got one second hand from a family friend when I was little dont think I ever used it I only ever used the clips it came with
@Aster Regis it was on my Christmas list and Santa didn't bring it 😭😭
@Aster Regis Yeah thats the one I had lol
Omg I REMEMBER THAT
@Aster Regis omg i totally had the same thing
As a candle maker myself, something that should be said when it comes to gel wax is you have to make sure whatever oil you use is gel safe fragrance. If you have a fragrance oil within a certain flashpoint it can literally make the candle explode. And there are percentages of wax to fragrance ratios.
The wax frosting you need to cool the wax before whisking the wax. It’s quite easy and quick to make. But you do have to wait for it to cool before whipping it. I don’t know why they call these hacks!
I think they called it hack to lure into false pretense that these are easy as they presented it to be, that any average human could do it. However, it's been pointed out on the soap maker channel that they still put questionable and even potentially dangerous stuff into soaps. They did not care at all on actual practical function of the thing they create, they just care to look pretty.
@@dodixaverius9176 yeah it’s incredible in a very sad way how they can keep putting up the dangerous “hacks” they do. It actually pinched a nerve a little seeing people just randomly putting stuff in the gel wax without figuring the right ratio and also now knowing the flashpoint of the oils.
@@ctrivy3849 I think if you do some more research, find a version of this tutorial done by a pro, you could probably still diy it
@@annajensen7360 absolutely. I know it sounds intimidating but a little research goes a long way. Once you know what you’re after and how much of everything you can find amazing tutorials to help you along the way. Once you’ve done it a couple times it’s easy as pie!
@@ctrivy3849 I know it sounds hard or intimidating but just research what you need. What fragrance oils are gel wax safe and you can find amazing tutorials online for gel candles and regular candles. Lonestar and pro candle supply are wonderful to start looking for material, they’re wonderful on price and also they ship fast. Hope this helps and maybe you’ll decide to give it a try!!!!
The Blossoms flower part can be done differently !
Personally, I use the store candles and just use the candles like normal, except they melt wayyyyyy easier and because of that, they are fully melted and the wax is not even hot ! It’s actually feels like dipping your hand onto your average warm bath water. They dried very quickly and come of easy, too
I love how Safiya and Tyler are still out here breaking societal norms of daily uploads by staying true to rarer, longer, quality videos. No pressure to keep up with weekly or even daily videos. Just intense excitement every time I stumble across the newest video.
@bofooit gojo yeah
Im ur 200th like :)
True. It's a pleasant surprise to see a new video from time to time.
I thought the exact same thing a few days ago. I was just thinking about her and how I actually find time to watch her content and look forward to it because it is not not three cheap videos that I have seen somewhere else already but instead original high quality stuff. Tylers and Safs videos always have this fun "small documentary" feeling to me.
I assume it helps that she was already popular from buzzfeed days so she doesn't need to game the algorithm either. Doesn't mean what she puts out is bad but i think the algorithm leans towards frequency unfortunately for small channels
Safiya putting on the “whip cream” and Tyler hyping her up is so stinking wholesome Omgsh. The sheer joy 😂💙
*whipped*
Thats what marriage does to you lol
It is so incredibly cute and unexpectedly funny! The joy from Tyler is just SO PURE! 😄
Yeah i love them together sm :)
4k’th like reeee
I would say, for the Cherry Blossom hack, it definitely functions more as a display candle rather than functional candle.
Just as a heads up. The candle won’t work for very long for the coffee candle. You need a dye for the wax, not mica powder (which is what in your crayons). If you use mica, the mica will start to cut off flow of the wax to the flame via the wick. So, even if you WANTED to burn your coffee candle, it wouldn’t work for very long.
Safiya: “This is a shank!”
Tyler: “You slapping it?”
Safiya: “This is a flank!”
Tyler: “Slap that bag.”
Safiya: “This is a steak!”
😂😂😂😂

Ummmmmmm ok I see you girl/boy
“Cottagecore menorah” is a perfect way to describe the cherry blossom one.
I was getting "pretzel ballerinas"
for the margarita candle one, it would be easier if you poured the candle wax half way in cup first, let that harden and then put the ice cubes in and poured the rest of the wax solution after (make sure not to overflow it). It would have been easier to show visibility of the ice
ive done the cherry blossom one, after failing with the dipping the wick in brown wax i decided to just use paint (i wasnt burning it), and i like the feeling of hot wax on my fingers so it was pretty easy for me to do it (i used to dip in fingers in my moms candles LMAO
Sammmeeeee
Safiya: “is this a fire hazard?”
*candle literally on fire*
Tyler: “uh probably”

A NSFW profile took this comment and replied to me :l
@@irrelevaantidiot it's happening to me
Irk lolllll
Actually in truth the cherry blossom kinda would work well as a cottage core menorah if you made enough branches for all 8 nights. Hanukkah candles aren't really meant to burn for that long.
Could be cute but you'd need to make 8 of them since you're not supposed to blow out the candles 😅
I mean 8 nights, that's like 192 hours
I was thinking a menorah as well! But you can't blow out the candles so you'd have to make a lot or just use it on the last night.
That’s gonna be a lot of candles, and it looks as if you’d be left with just a puddle of wax before you’re done with the shehekeanu
Cottage core menorah would be a great band
I’m a professional candle maker and I so enjoy your hack “smacking” lol
I love the clear ones with the funfetti soaps in them and I agree that they look cooler when you hold them up to a light. The little succulent soaps were pretty cute too.
I am a sculptor and I used to make a TON of art out of paraffin and other candle wax- my advice is that wax takes FOREVER to cool and solidify as long as it’s kept in the same (very hot) container it was melted in.
Pouring the hot wax into a cool, unused container after melting would cut my cooling time in half, if not more!!
Phew a comment with no link
ruclips.net/video/Hc5xbnp_A6c/видео.html mukbang :)
Also if anyone tries this trick and it works for them, lmk! It would make me so happy to hear if I helped :)
“Never question blossom, except always question blossom. Rarely believe blossom”
Truer words have never been spoken
Having as much wax as you do, you should find more to try. This was fun to watch and helped me know whether or not I want to make some candles. Fun!
Safiya manages somehow to make me sit through a 30 minute video of stuff I actually don’t care about, and on top of that entertain me ahah
Safiyah: "Is this a fire hazard?"
Me, looking at that highly flammable florist's foam: "Yep."
😂
IKR? I was seriously bracing myself.
honestly lol, i think it was a cup of candle wax in the video they watched
I thought this 😰🤭😬😂😅
Candle maker here with some tips: to have a better scent, let it cure for at least a week before lighting. Always trim the wick down to about 1/4", not so long. For the frosting, don't start whipping until it starts to solidify and cool down more. Also, never use a crayon to color a candle, it will clog the wick. All in all you did good!
This is some interesting tips and answers my questions
ruclips.net/channel/UCRQaP2FCR9sM9AksJPzIMVQ
Came here to comment all of this but you already did!! Haha
Thank you for your tips, your comment is very useful 👍🏼
m.ruclips.net/video/StxnDWNlxhU/видео.html 🔥
I've made lots of these candles. They are tough. Tip- the margarita green wax should have cooled slightly before placing the ice cubes. And a crayon should never be used for color cuz it clogs the wick and it'll keep burning out. Learned from my own mistakes. Great job guys! Love the videos. ❤️
I am so impressed you mixed for 30 mins, I barely can for 5 mins. Absolutely love the cherry blossom one!
Safiya's intro brings so much peace and comfort
Yes!
Lol

Whenever I see Safiya getting a hack wrong or the hack just not being a good one, I imagine her going "Curse you BLOSSOM!!!" like Dr.Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb. LOL
Safiya is pure gold. She’s beautiful inside and out. Sending love to you both ❤️
You two are so patient and cheerful while you try these hacks!
This reminded me of my mom's late-90's candle parties. Jelly candles were so popular in the 90s
My grandma had at least 3 in the living room. When I was over when I was little I would just stick my finger in them because it felt weird. She would get so mad😂
Omg I used to do the same thing! The ones that looked like water on top of sand but were actually Jelly used to mess me up so much as a kid! And then when they got all dusty on top….
In Mexico they're still a thing in Quinceañeras party's. Not as common as it used to be, but you can still easily find them
Also, pls give me some cultural context: what is or how do you do a candle party?
I had one given to me in maybe 2006 in a small champagne flute shape glass (with out the stem) with little sea shells in the peach colored jelly wax haha
My favorite thing about your videos is when you mess up or it doesn’t turn out how you want it to, you make it again. It’s so frustrating to me when youtubers just leave it so it’s satisfying that you redo it!

The lion the witch and the wardrobe reference 🖤👌 and yes, Turkish delight does pretty much loo like that. Usually a color with sugar on the outside like a little sparkly coating, and sometimes a nut on the inside!
I just want to say that watching this video was very satisfying and humorous to me. The 'bouquet of matches' and 'the wax to wick ratio is wack' was killin! This is my first time vid of Safiya and I'm now a satisfied sub. Thanks for making my day.
Instead of ice water, try lotion first. That’s what I coat a hand with before I dip it in paraffin as a manicurist. Also, I would say 2, 3 or 4 dips before you try and place them on the branch would look really nice as well.

I personally use shampoo and it works nice. Sounds weird but it works for me!
@@ginaromo1536 why?
@@adinosaur2708 well I was curious
why do you use paraffin as a manicurist? ive never heard about that im curious
I agree that the lime essential oil needed to be in the “ice” too. But I also noticed in the clip you used that their “margarita” portion looked thicker, like they’d let it cool in the glass slightly before putting in the “ice”. I bet that’s how their “ice” stuck up out of the “drink” portion. Same with the “cherry blossoms”. The wax for those was definitely much cooler than they let on.
As for your “whip”, cake decorators fold the bag open to fill them. That gets their material down in the bag and not all over the sides of it.
ruclips.net/video/vM6YwVtcJjg/видео.html
Yes!!!!🧁
was about to comment about the margarita candle too, should have let it cool first before putting the ice cubes in hahaha
It reminds me of the *_lion in this video_* ruclips.net/video/LaVhUy5oFvM/видео.html&.lvqja
"Our wax reached the right amount of cooled and whipped to become Cool Whip" that was so smooth
i like the fact that you saved me the time in doing the experiment myself also i was able to decide other wax i may use that may be better in comparison to what you have used and to add more scents etc .... loved the videos and your personality keep doing these videos
For the first one, I’m not sure because I don’t work with candles, but it might of worked better if you let the lime bit solidify a little before putting in the ice cubes to give the illusion that they’re floating
That's what I thought :)
This comment needs more likes. I was screaming at my phone to let to the wax cool a bit
ruclips.net/video/vM6YwVtcJjg/видео.html
I used to make candles all the time and often used the “whipped cream” trick. The thing is, the wax needs to be partially cooled down so that it actually whips up into peaks. Just for future reference:)
Yeah, in the Blossom video, you can see on the sides it's cooled a bit. I was giggling in my head thinking "Saf, let it cool!"
Transferring it to a different bowl would help too.

This video brought me back to my childhood because I was obsessed with candles, i collected them and as a teen, made them (latte candles) every Christmas until my early twenties.
This girl actually deserve subscriber unlike some youtubers she works soo hard to entertain us. She is the ideal channel that i really like
i forgot you were making candles, and thought you were making a margarita soap. i was very confused with how you were going to use it lol
I'm glad I'm not the only one getting the candle and the soap stuff mixed up all the time.
LITERALLY ME I-
I feel like the second candle would’ve been better as hot chocolate (so chocolate scented base) and then adding a slight mint to the ‘whipped cream’ and then maybe some ‘sprinkles’ for just a cute hot chocolate beverage
Even just a chocolate scented base would be so nice
@@phirerising fair enough! I just feel like at the flat brown base I get mega hot chocolate vibes over coffee (and I’m a fan of coffee)

1:31 the acting in life-hack videos is usually so schlocky I was impressed to see the actress perfectly portray the true weariness of someone visiting a friend who has realistic candles of everything scattered all over their apartment. 👏
I worked at Joe’s Crab Shack like 15 years ago and made their signature drinks for our bar as decor! I made the ice out of regular wax so that it looked cloudy like regular ice, but apart from that, it was just like this!
Idid the same as a child but made milkshake candles asa gift for my mom. Must have been like 25 yrs ago. Oh and i made a coke one since its her favorite. She didn't burn them and cherished them like they were her babies and whilst we were on vaca we left our a/c off and the 120degree west Texas heat completely melted them 🤣 it must have gotten to like 140 in the house.

I love candle making! Word of advice I learned the hard way is that the fragrances used mostly in professional candles is fragrance oil rather than essential oils. Fragrance oils are less diluted and have to be measured as a part of the whole for the candle weight.
Nice ta know
👍
As a very under experienced candle maker, this helps. Thank you!
Wow thanks for this
We learned about candle making this summer, dip the wick in wax twice and then into ice water, helps cool the wax instantly and then you can dip it again!
okay but cherry blossom _birthday candles_ on like a fancy cherry blossom frosted cake???? wedding candles???/ lmao this was fun thank u again
Note to anyone making these candles: please practice safe candle burning! Always make sure your candles are in a safe fire-retardant area (like their stone countertops). Never burn homemade candles (especially the cherry blossom candle that has parts that can fall) on wooden or otherwise flammable surfaces! Have fun candle making! 🔥
Also burn the wick at 1/4 of an inch if it's to high its more likely to cause a fire of get to big
fire WHAT area?
@@smallchild3694 it means on areas that aren't going to burn or burn quickly. So burning a candle on a stone countertop is much safer than burning one on a wood table because should something happen, like the candle getting knocked over, the wood table is going to quickly set on fire.
@@smallchild3694 fire-retarded area means that area's that won't catch fire easily.
In elementary school we had a candle accessoire thingy making afternoon (I don't know what to call it) and it was fall/winter so they decided we should add moss (it lights on fire really easily). Long story short it caught fire and we were all very scared.
I feel like the cherry blossom candles would make decent birthday cake candles since they’re only lit for a few minutes at most, and they’d be really pretty as decoration. The only issue would be what to do with them when you’re done….
That's what I was thinking, 10/10 would put on my birthday cake
Only problem would be the amount of wax dripping
I was thinking the same thing! Might be cool to make a candle display that way when they are blown out no spit gets on the cake!

@@stag5783 i think if you managed to make them thinner like in the hack video or in the tutorial videos she showed there would be a lot less dripping wax
I love that the pink plattform Crocs have their own podium on the kitchen counter 😂😂
Love this. The latte one was spectacular. Put some scent into the "whipped cream" and it should be golden.
I would like to appreciate that almost all of Safiya's videos are captioned. Thank you!

"Can I drink this? No! It is a flame!"
The Blossom-quality acting is spot on XD
What really gets me is how unimpressed and disappointed the girl looks
I read this like that lorde song that goes “can you reach me? No! You can’t!
"It's a lot of elbow grease just to set it on fire." Love it.
i have a latte candle like that! seems its a pretty common method then, i also think that if you had melted the soy wax on the stove, you would be able to get it at its melting point exactly, and through some method of soft cooling, you would be able to make the process of making the "cream" alot faster.
I see a bit of the iconic "Jenna too-much gene" in Safiya when she's trying to keep adding more wax whipped cream to the latte candle
i miss jenna so much :(
Is that another name for the bucket chemist gene? My science/chemistry teacher called students bucket chemists if they were a little ...generous with pouring.
“a cottage core menorah” that is so indescribably perfect

@@_phoenixpotato_521 it literally does not matter.
I loved the first two candles..you did awesome job. That cherry blossom candle only looked cute lol. No burning.
The 3rd candle shall be decor
I love how you mentioned the book”The Lion,the Witch,and the Wardrobe”because my daughter actually just finished reading the book in her class.
Ps…Keep doing good and don’t give up on these vids they bring me joy and inspiration everyday!
Tip for next time, when whipping/hand mixing anything you want to move the mixer/beater side to side (kind of in a zig zag pattern) rather than in circles for faster mixing 😊
and in this case and the case of real whipping cream, the bowl would benefit from being set into another bowl of ice water to cool it down
as a culinary student thank you
@@tapiocateabags Good Idea! I was thinking more at first of her whipping in a glass bowl: it could easily be a hazard for it breaking. But your tips for whipping cream is excellent. 😊
when making meringue as well it should really help to use a tall bowl or measuring cup instead of a flat bowl. it helps to get the air in there
For those wanting to make the 'wip cream wax' I use soy wax, melt it completely add colour if I want and scent. I then use the spatula every now and then to mix it as it cools. Once it's almost hard but also soft enough to pipe I add it to the piping bag and boom...done! I make cupcake candles and they melt nicely like this!
"OH MY GOD IT'S KIND OF OKAY"
**Best anticlimax EVER**
I know you’re not going to see this, but every time I get really anxious and need to fall asleep, I watch one of your videos and feel a whole lot better :]
I was worried about the candles in cups, certain types of glass will shatter when heated. Several candles at a store near me were recalled for it!
My dad used to make candles when I was a kid and I used to love to stick my fingers in the hot wax. It was hot sure, but once you have that first layer of wax on your fingers, the wax insulated them from the heat really well. And then you had finger shaped wax worms to squish while waiting for candles to cool 😎
My dad loves candles and always would get so mad at me for doing this lmaoo
I love to do that too, but my cats like kocking over the candles so we can't melt the candles anymore. But, back when we used to melt them I once made something that looked like a horse.
Whenever you use wax on your body, go for Soy wax. It melts on a way lower degree and dries off much faster. Paraffin needs a higher degree until it melts. You could also just go for some specially designed body wax, which is safe and has some essential oils in it. Please don´t burn yourself next time
This is the comment I was looking for. I am new to playing with wax on my body, but know paraffin wax is bad. Couldn't remember which ones would be better suited at the top of my head. [:
27:26 "Functionally, it's just a bouquet of matches" is my new favorite Saf quote.
Surprised how much i had to scroll to get this😂
I feel like the wick thing for the cherry blossoms had one issue for Safiya: the wicks weren't pre covered in wax like the ones in the video. They used pre-waxed ones so they were already sturdy, just adding one more coat of wax for the colour.
I recognized the roll the wick came from (I've used that wax for candles I make on Etsy before). Those wicks are pre-waxed, but not terribly sturdy and strong. It's a hemp wick with beeswax covering you can get on Amazon. They just used wax that was WAY too hot (boiling the wax while on a double boiler is WAY hotter than necessary for most waxes in general). In theory, if the wick was covered in beeswax, it shouldn't have become limp because beeswax has a higher melting point than paraffin wax. She should have just let it cool for a while (to like 110 degrees F), then try dipping it and not letting it sit in the wax very long.
As someone who makes candles, it is bound to fail regardless because of how many wicks there are with so little wax to slow the burn
the wick i had was pre-waxed! it’s a roll we got from a craft store of pre-waxed wick.
@@safiya oh •-•
@@foxybean7614 Yeah, it just isn't one where there's a physical coating of wax around the wick rather than the material just gets saturated in the wax with nothing left on the surface. I like the cotton wicks from Nature's Garden personally. Has a nice thick layer of wax all around the wick material.
Can we appreciate Saf and Tyler’s kitchen! It’s so beautiful
I like this video. Making candles and the wicks parts are low-key the frustrating parts for me when I made some once. The ideas here are aesthetically nice though.🌸
Maybe Blossom isn't sharing the specifics on purpose, so we could just keep on watching their videos trying to figure everything out.
Her voice is so ear pleasing. She sounds like Caitlin from ask a mortician. Just so satisfying listening to her.
Hah! So true! They both enunciate really well
Oh wow! I was thinking the same thing!
they are both good at enunciating, have deeper voices, and both sound sophisticated too lol 👀 ngl would love some kind of collab between saf and caitlin, it would be interesting to see what they could work on together
