Essential oils don't give you a good hot throw (scent). Use fragrances made for candle and not only will you have a stronger smelling candle, you won't burn your place down.
Came here to also say this lol.
What’s the fragrance called that are made for candles ??
@@Katesgotyourtongue how much of the oil do u put in? And do u have 2 cool the melted wax a bit before I pour it into glass so it doesn't break?
@@Katesgotyourtongue can you use this same method but use the fragrance oil instead 🪔?
@@kajalkhatri1034 CandleScience is a good place to start. Make sure to follow the recommended usage, which is typically up to 9-10 % of the total candle weight.
Instead of using essential oils that can be flammable, you should use fragrance oils that are made for candles. Otherwise, everything is on point!
Pleaseeee do research before trying this at home. You need to use fragrance oil made for candles and you should have a thermometer to know at what temperature to remove the wax from the heat and It needs to cool to a certain temperature before adding fragrance. You should also be calculating with a specific formula to know how much fragrance to add to your wax depending on how much it wax you have.
Can you do this same method but use fragrance oil instead?
@@s.e.t.3055 Yes definitely use fragrance oil but don’t use the method from this video because without the correct formula and temperatures you will not get a good smelling candle no matter how many drops you use and your candle will also not burn properly. I would suggest watching videos from people with real experience for the best results.
Thank you so much I appreciate the feedback,I'm definitely disregarding this video lol and I'm goin to order the kit I seen off of Amazon,it gives you all the right things and shows you all the right methods ...thank you again 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
@@s.e.t.3055 also make sure to order a kitchen scale and a thermometer if you don’t have one already then you’re all set
@@fanm_lesantilles4541 I'm on it thank you 🙏🏿
You can also just buy scented wax pellets and then the pour the melted wax in to a jar and use a metal stand and wooden wick
You really need wick stickers. Those wicks once low enough are going to start floating around on you and you could crack the glass once it floats to the side and you have a direct flame on the glass.
Next essential oils don’t get live a good hot throw and are highly unstable when introduced to a flame. Not to mention the amount you’d have to add to be able to smell would be extremely expensive.
I make candles and didn't think about the floating wick, but you're right that could be super dangerous, thanks for the advice!
@@rosieday7482 you are most welcome
@@AzathothTheGreat once the wick has extinguished itself becomes too low to light you can use a warm water bath or double boiler method to remove the rest of the wax. then use a butter knife to peel the wick off the bottom.
Oh and BHG, you may want to think about re-doing this video with instructions on how to make a Safe and Effective candle, before someone actually follows these instructions and ends up burning their house down, resulting in loss of property or life, and then sues you.
Yikes! This is scary. I first saw her video and thought “oh cool, this looks easy and I can do this w what I currently have at home!” HOWEVER, after scrolling the comments, I FROZE.
TRULY NO ONE SHOULD BE MAKING THESE VIDEOS UNLESS THEY SPEAK W ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE as you have. Thanks so much and God bless!
You need wick stickers the wick will come lose and the wax will down the flame the candle won't last pass the first/ second burn.
Thx for the idea
❤ thanks for sharing
Ty
I'm making my own now!!!!
Maybe this should be a good gift for Valentine's day?
Easiest one yet. But not one person has mentioned where to we get the wax from?
Delicious
How long do you have to mix the scent in with the wax?
Anyone know if I can use my perfume instead of FO? I fall in love w my perfume😅
Does anyone know if I can do this same method but use fragrance oil? because going through the comments I see using essential oils can be dangerous,so can I use this same method but add fragrance oil instead?
Essential oils aren't necessarily dangerous when used in the correct quantities, but they are not going to yield as strong of a scent as fragrance oils. The type of wax, the type of wick, the size (thickness) of the wick can also will determine how strong the candle scent is and how well it burns.
If you want a GOOD candle it IS costly! You won’t get a good scent range. It’s just like getting a candle from a $ store vs bath& body works.
I have a question! Can I add my perfume instead of essential oils? Or is that flammable?
I definitely wouldn’t recommend putting alcohol in a candle but aye what do I know
@@vendetta6291 thanks! I’m just going to use essential oils that have the same notes as the perfume lol
@@02gracie I am a candle maker and do not suggest perfume or essential oils. Use something like fragrance oils.
Essential oils for sents maybe 🤔?
Shouldn’t essential oils be added when wax is cooled so the smell is cooked out before you even use the candle?
Theres a sweet spot that is perfect to put your oil in. Not too hot and not too cold. The oil needs to bind with the wax. If the was is too cold it will not bind with the wax at all. You need to put the oil in below about 10 degrees below the flashpoint of the oil.
💯
$35 is not even cheap😅
Aren’t essential oils like flammable 😬
Some are
Essential oils are safe to use in candles, when used in the correct amount. The largest problem is that essential oils do not smell as strong as fragrance oils and some waxes don't work well with certain oils or fragrances, so some people end up putting dangerous amounts of oils into the candle in an effort to get it to smell stronger, creating a fire hazard. It's best to either buy a pre-made candle making kit from a reputable seller or to make sure to do the proper research to make a safe and effective candle.
Thank you so much! This helped me a lot!
That wick is not stabilized, wick stickers are better
How do i make it smell like a slice of caramel frosted cake? This a genuine quesiton
Can I use vanilla essence instead of essential oil??? 😬
NOOO it will burn
@@randomuser3208 ohh ok ty
Good video. The AI voice was not good. You have a pretty voice way better than a computer.
The step for dipping the wick into wax to make it stick onto the jar seems a bit useless since it immediately melts and displaces when the hot candle wax is added to the jar.
The article comparing the price of 3 wick candle vs diy isn't very good given the difference of burn time. The diy ones are much smaller and the store bought ones are affordable when bought on sale.
I'm reporting this😬
You have no idea what are u doing 😢
Do not follow instructions on this video.
Doing candles is more complicated than that,
Thank you.
I HATE robo voices
This is literally super basic!! There are like another 6 steps to ensure the safety, durability and ethos is met. She literally has no idea
the worst DIY I've ever encounter in this platform! Candle making is a science, it's all about the safety of the candle, temperature control, and never use essential oils, can be toxic to pets and humans when burned.
SOME essential oils are toxic to pets and infants. I have an entire business making room sprays, cleaning products and candles with essential oils. I also provide safety information and tell customers to do their own thorough research as well.
Ghetto.
