I feel so blessed to have found this video. You can tell when someone REALLY LOVES what they do and this shines through - your sharing is truly appreciated. Can't wait to check out your store. Have a great day and God blessings to you all!
This is the best explanation on how to make candles ive ever seen. This channel totally deserves way more subs then it has. She would have a million subs plus if she did her own channel on candle making. Heck teaching anything the way she explains things would do well i believe
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and the skills of your craft to the world. The tutorial is precise, no fuss. Pam makes what normally looks so complicated very simple. I hope to try candle making one day using her method. Be blessed and best success for your business.
....Finally....!!!.... ...Someone else who uses clothes pins for everything... ...Their usefulness is often overlooked... ...Thank you for making this instructive vid...!!!...
How gracious of you to share.. I just got started in home candle making and I had no idea.... you gave great tips which I will surely use my whole candle-making experience. Thank you from Canada.. Love and Peace Catherine
This video was extremely helpful and I’ll be referencing it over and over. Thanks for sharing the details such as wick size and where you get packaging. The extra tips, such as leveling, were useful.
She is beautiful! She glows and her eyes are enchanting! She explains things clearly, cheerfully, and in an engaging, hands on way. This is by far the best candle making presentation I have ever seen. I would love to begin making candles as well. I have a lot of moulds I was given. Now I am not afraid to start.
Just an update, I have made beeswax candles , I had a ton of Mann Lake ltd molds I was given for free, I’ve been making candles, they’ve all turned out good, I’m now testing them before giving them out. I tested using cappings wax and lower grade brown beeswax. I was getting sinkholes in my candles after pouring, so I found that by putting the beeswax-filled moulds immediately into my oven that has been pre-warmed by the Oven light (and keep it on during this process) on a cookie sheet, they did not have tunneling , or sinkholes in the wax due to cooling too fast. It really helped. I also found during testing that my unprimed wicks tended to snuff themselves out before reaching the wax. I thought if I primed just the first inch of the wick that was to go into the top of the candle (bottom of the mould) that it would fix that problem, and I wouldn’t have to prime the whole wick as primed wick is hard to get through and pull through the candle mould holes.
Fantastic video! I'm a hobby beekeeper with about 40 hives. I've been accumulating all of my wax for the past several years. I still have yet to attempt making candles, however I already purchased the supplies. This video was exactly what I needed to see. Nicely narrated too. Very helpful. I'd love to see more of your wax melting equipment. I subscribed and I'll certainly check out your other videos. Thanks again for taking the time to create and share this video 🐝🐝🐝☮️☯️
Cool! I’m looking forward to making cosmetics and candles and a furniture wax finish that comes from a 16th century recipe I found in an old manuscript in my book collection. Most of this will go to make a custom furniture repair filler (from that same book). I’m new to bees and having good luck in following your videos so far. Thanks for yet another great idea to make another profit line in our businesses! Years ago when I made candles we used a hot air gun to warm the molds first so they cooled a bit slower…no sink holes
This is a very clear, detailed and thorough explanation of how to make candles. I will try to make a few with the little wax with which I always end up after extracting honey out of my few hives. Thank you!
Just starting to research candle making and came across your channel. Great video and tutorial! Pamela is so cute and very sweet. Best of luck with your business!
Pam and Bob, thank you so much for the excellent video demonstrating step by step beeswax candle making. I've recently taken up this hobby and your video has helped me tremendously. Luv your workshop!!
I just made my first beeswax candles...it really is such a quiet, peaceful activity. Maybe candles for Christmas presents this year...Thanks for the information. Oh and guy in the comments, thanks for the link! :)
@@bobbinnie9872 😂 thanks for the reply, I often considered that. I just spent a day binge watching Beeswax renderings out of no where. Literally just finished watching my 5th one. I do say, I learned the most and enjoyed yours best.
Thank you so much for this video. Pamela is my new hero. Thank you for just simply stating the wick sizes. So many of the how to videos give no info about the wax or temp or wick size. Thank you very much from a clueless candle hobbyist in Rio Rancho, NM.
You did a great job explaining the process! By the way, if you didn't package the candles you would be dusting them continously, some dust just embeds itself in wax, after all the hard work it takes to clean the wax. No to mention folks picking them up then putting them back with their dirty bacteria laden hands. You were very detailed and made it easy to understand. A very good tutorial. Great video. Thanks
Wasn't candle making considered to be a somewhat honorable profession in medieval times? I can see why. The care to detail it takes to make a decent candle is impressive.
What an excellent video. 132 thumbs down? WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!! That setup is really cool and such a nice shop you have. I love the little dowels and all the slots for them and the lighting is perfect. That melter is sweet too. Those are pricey! Anything stainless from Mann Lake sha shing lol I've been using a crock pot and turkey baster, and that baster gets flippin hot after a few squirts. Interesting that you filter it one last time into your pouring pot. I'd like to set up a similar wax processing area on a smaller scale. I'm just now getting where I have a little bit of wax to work with. I'm going to have to check out what else you guys have posted. You must have a lot of hives to have all that wax I saw stacked up there. I try to manage around 30 hives and boy it's a lot of work. . It was a good year for us with plenty of rain, so we got quite a few cappings from around 550 lbs of honey. I saved some of our darker wax from last year to put back on my plastic rite-cell foundations that need recoating. This year's I melted into the 1 oz bars. I didn't see in the comments below on where you get your wick. Do you use Mann Lake for that as well. Are your molds mostly Mann Lake? LIKED AND NEW SUBSCRIBER.
Wow beautiful!! I have always wanted to get into making candles 🕯 but for some reason it has intimidated me. You explained it so thoroughly. I think your video has been the simplest to follow along with. Thank you
Wondering if you switch the rope to tie the bag with candle wick rope that way the customer can reuse the wax and make their own just a thought might help plus good selling point. Thanks for showing and teaching us well done
You are so good at explaining the entire process! I sincerely appreciate the zero amount of waste! Thank you, Pam and Bob~
Thank you for your comment.
How can I get the moulds? Great explanation

Can i get you email
I would pay to train with this lady. She's so detail oriented. I love it!

One of the best vids I have seen. Almost makes me want to just source wax and make candles and keep a few bees for fun.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and the skills of your craft to the world. The tutorial is precise, no fuss. Pam makes what normally looks so complicated very simple.

You must use very small cotton buds to get the wax out of the bees 🐝 ears 👂.
Very small indeed
Lol

I melt my wax in an old Mr. Coffee machine. Works good!

FR I WAS LIKE OMG HOW CAN SHE STAND THAT
Amazing. I am inspired to give it a go this weekend as Christmas gifts for the family

We do get our wicking and most of our molds from Mann Lake. The Melter is from Candle Science. Thanks for your comment.
@@bobbinnie9872 I'm hoping to make some lip balm and a few candles over Christmas break. Merry Christmas to you.
Thank you
Probably the best beeswax candle video I've seen.
Hi Harry. Thanks for the comment.
Nice video, much thanks 👍🙂

Cheers nice vid there thanks, anyone else using this vid to learn as well?
So calming to watch.
Thank you so much for being so generous in sharing this video. So much good tips and information. Xx
Thanks for your comment
So the only ingredient in the candles is the beeswax, no oils are added?
Correct.
I love everything about this video, the detailed oriented class and the sustainable use of the products, they have no waste which is great!
Thank you for your comment
Good video but would have been good to see a close.up of how they are presented

Hi Chelsea. Thanks for your comment. I hope you try it.
Thank you so much! Especially explaining about the sinkholes. I have trouble with that! And, your apron is adorable.
I thought your demo was excellent! I learned a lot! Thank you!, BTW don’t pay any mind to stupid people ☺️
Yes. I am learning. Thank you very very very much.
Thanks I enjoyed watching her process.
