Good questions. I had this question when I just started to learn how to make candles. Q1: 1. use a small drill machine to drill a hole. 2. Use heat gun to heat up an iron long thin stick, the heat on the stick can melt a hole (showed in this video 3:40). Both methods take a lot of time, it is better to apply for candle wick in the candle mold then pour liquid wax. Q2: There are soft and hard candle wicks, hard candle wick is an option to pass through, If you don't have hard one, you can dip the soft candle wick into wax a few second, then take it out. After wax become solid, soft candle wick can become hard in this way. A very thin iron wire can also help, make it like needle, apply soft candle wick on the wire, when wire pass through, the wick pass through as well.
Thank you for the Video. What kind of colour you use on the wooden stick in method 1? Is it candle colour melted in paraffin? Or is it liquid candle colour? Or is it something else?
@@ZXLDIY I was hoping to not make holes at all - in the actual mold that is. To just pour and makes holes in the final product (with a small/thin drill). If it's going to be time consuming, best I don't go that route then 😢
I tried to marble my candles and didn’t work . I poured the colors and they got stuck in the bamboo stick so you are doing something you’re not sharing and I don’t appreciate it
@@raqueldi3028 yes thats why I’m asking you. What brand are you using? I use Magic Marble - their are different marble paint some you can not use for this kind of painting
Hello, I’m from Colombia. I bought some molds the same as the ones you have, I don’t know what mistake I’m making but the candle doesn’t come out of the mold :/ please help me
I didn't count exactly. it depends on the size of a pot. The first layer dye should cover the whole pot, the other dye only need 2 or 3 drops over the first layer.
Omg, these candles are absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing this, i was looking for this video so long
I'm so happy you watch and enjoy my videos. Thank you!😁

Thank you so much

Thank you for your feedback😊
what substance do you use in the first method to make marbling (black color)?
I am so happy to have found your channel! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for the beautiful video. ❤ Can I use acrylic paint instead?
Well done 👍
I need some clarity on the candle holder! Is first liquid water ? and what is the bottle of white liquid used to paint on the molds
How long does the paint take to dry..Mine is still quite tacky after 2 weeks. Great video.
It takes one day to dry, maybe because of different marbling paint brand.
Hello, thank you for the incredible video. Is the water ok with the wax and the wick?
Thank you for your support. water has no influence with the wax and the wick once the candle is dry.
What do you use for vandle moulds and how long do you let the marble colour in before adding the wax on the top?
It’s water with candle dye? What you’re using to do the marble method?
That second candle mold I can't figure it out because she isn't talking! I don't know what she mixing or anything. I hate when they don't talk.
IT's amazing, What kind of color use in method 2?? Thank you
It is marbling paint, it also shows in the video 4:06

What do you use for your candle holders ? what was the white powder ? :)
I used plaster+water to make candle holders
Thank you for the Video. What kind of colour you use on the wooden stick in method 1? Is it candle colour melted in paraffin? Or is it liquid candle colour? Or is it something else?
I used liquid candle pigment to make marbled candle in the first method.
@@ZXLDIY Thank you, this method is very interesting.
Which colour used
Where did you get the marbling paint in the second method?
Can you please tell me in method 2 what did you pour in the cold water?

Hi , whats the color name?
You put the wick in last? In the moulded candles.
Yes, I apply the wick after I unmold bubble candle
@@ZXLDIY Genuis!
@@ZXLDIY One can do this with ALL moulded candles? Not only bubble? Probably would work, right?
@@mayalippert2046 yes，of course. But it is not recommended, it takes time. I did it because sometimes the mould cannot make a hole in the bottom
@@ZXLDIY I was hoping to not make holes at all - in the actual mold that is.
To just pour and makes holes in the final product (with a small/thin drill). If it's going to be time consuming, best I don't go that route then 😢
Hi. What is that clay like thing you used to seal the hole?
No，it is not clay, it is sort of sticky pad, I showed it in my pencil candle video.
What kind of wax do you use to unmold the acrylic ones?
I used paraffin : soy wax = 1:1 to the make pillar candles
Hallo beautiful candles. What is the temperature of the wax when you put the mold and put the marble paint in?
Thank you. The wax pouring temperature is about 85°C. The water in the pot is just normal cold water.
I tried to marble my candles and didn’t work . I poured the colors and they got stuck in the bamboo stick so you are doing something you’re not sharing and I don’t appreciate it
@@raqueldi3028 what marble paint are you using? Cause I made many of this candles and the way she shows it is the way it’s done
I did first with cold water and when I poured the paint in it just got like a film on top and got stuck in the stick

Hello, I’m from Colombia. I bought some molds the same as the ones you have, I don’t know what mistake I’m making but the candle doesn’t come out of the mold :/ please help me
You need to choose the right wax. Sometimes you have to use some strength to unmold it.
hi, what brand do you use for paraffin and soy wax? I feel confused when I check the reviews of different brands.
hello, I only found one supplier in Holland, their wax don't have brand. There is no choice for me, it is easier😊
Just want to say Ur video is very helpful .. i hope u do online training courses in the future
