- Hello Beautiful People! Happy New Year!
Today's video is all about how I personally make my candles. Everyone has different methods and formulas, but this is what works for me. Hopefully there are some tips within this video that may help you on your candle making journey!
Quick Tip: Please keep an open mind when choosing suppliers. I have to switch things up because one supplier may be sold out of the ingredient or supply that I need. So, do your research. I have done my research and chosen the suppliers that work best for my brand and business needs. I check for quality and efficacy to ensure I am using the BEST ingredients and materials to create my candles.

I LOVE that you share your info, supply lists, vendors etc. You have no idea how many people you're going to help and how much more abundance you'll be pulling back in by doing that. "You're doing amazing sweetie" lol
You are so welcome! 😊
Yes. I agree! She will be very successful for sharing it will come back to her tenfold.
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm starting a candle company and I started to get stressed In this department of finding the right jars and oils
You are so welcome Janella! Many Blessings to you on starting your candle company!
@@ParisNikkole can you share where you buy the oils and jars please?thank you😘
I love how you take time to explain everything in detail; I appreciate you, Sis! May GOD bless you and your business!
Thank you so much Pascale! 😊 Many Blessings to you as well!
Thank you for this. I’m starting a candle business but my biggest struggle to date is the wicks. Getting the proper wick and trimming it 😩
It takes a lot of testing but you will get there! Not all jars are the same so you have to make sure you are finding what works best for your jar size. Good Luck girl! You got this! If you haven't already, check out my wick testing video ruclips.net/video/rDUK-UGQDFs/видео.html 😊
Great video. Getting better about being on camera. I use the same wax our process is a bit different, that's normal. I use between 10-12% fragrance load. Thanks to a wonderful wax we get awesome scent throw. I admire you for choosing to go luxury out the gate. I have a standard line and a luxury line as well as a beeswax line. Yeah, never pour fragrance into anything but glass. You don't want chemicals eating off the cup into your candle and you don't need to lose your expensive fragrance oil going to the garbage because the cup failed. If your pouring your fragrance into the cup and straight to the bottom pitcher you'd be ok. I just personally don't like the idea of chemicals from the plastic going in my candle! Call me paranoid! Love your shirt by the way!
Thanks so much Jill! 😊
I just want to take a moment to thank you for this I’ve been binge watching your videos I’m starting a candle business and you didn’t have to take the time to do any of this but I appreciate it. Your business will flourish
You are so welcome! 😊 I love what I do and I know that I lost a lot of money and time trying to figure all of this out so I wanted to help others in any way that I could! Many Blessings to you and Good Luck on your candle business!
@@ParisNikkole thank you so much 😊
@@ParisNikkole you are a blessing. Keep up the good work.
Your tutorial is spot on! I appreciate the guidance and thorough process. I just launched my candle company. I look forward to exchanging ideas and concepts. 🤗 with all the candle Entrepreneur’s and candle lovers.
Glad it was helpful! We are truly a community in this candle industry and I love to exchange ideas with my fellow Chandlers! 🤗
Im not even a candle user but its really refreshing watching and listening to you QUEEN!!! All the best with your candle business too
Thank you so much!! 🤗
Yoo!!! I can definitely relate to the fragrance oil eating through the cup, I was so weak when I saw my money all over the table
Oh no! I feel your pain Sis! No bueno! But we live and we learn, LOL!
I loveeee candles and really want to learn how to make my own and potentially start selling them! Thank you for this video lovely! Your candles look amazing!! 😍🙌🏻💞
You are so welcome! You can do this! It just takes a lot of testing and figuring out your brand presence. Good Luck!
Just subbed..im a man but always loved candles and would love to start making my own.
Thanks for subbing! We need more men in this industry in my opinion! You can do this! 😊
@@ParisNikkole thank you and no problem

You are such a sweetheart for sharing all the supplier information. This saves so much time and most won’t share. Thank you. I will be supporting your store. I love candles.
Thank you so much Sabine! I am so happy my video helped! I know how hard it was for me to do all of this research and learning on my own so I thought I would share it with others. Thanks for watching!
Hola!!! Love the video!! I was making candles a couple of months ago and stupid me decided to place the not yet solidified candles in the box 📦 trying to move them to another area the whole bottom of the box broke!!!!! Talk about wax all over the floor!! 8. candles came crashing down. I was cleaning wax off my living room floor for weeks! Every now and again i find some small splash dots. Lol.
Hola Joey! Thank you so much!
Oh no! Wax is the worse thing to clean up for sure. It is all a learning process and I am sure there are more mistakes to come for me. I will share them all LOL!
Thank You so much for this video!!!! I have a quick question… so if I am making 10 candles for 12 oz jars will I need to add 34g x 10 = 340g of fragrance oil ?
Can you please do a tutorial on how you make your candle refills?
Yes I would like a video on that as well. I feel like it’s like the way you would make a pillar candle? Oh shoot now that I think about it. You just pour the wax in the appropriate size candle mold 🙂
Great tip.I just did this with the plastic cup this week. I was making soap and had my essential oils measured and waiting. The plastic melted and I lost my essential oil to the floor. "Crying" . Question..what wooden wick do you like the best.?
Oh no Yvette! I feel your pain! I am uploading a video on wooden wicks and resources tomorrow morning! Be sure to check it out! 😊
First off let me say you go girl!! I love to see a successful black woman! I have one question at what temperature do you pour the wax in your vessel? In the video it looked like the wax started to solidify soon after you poured the wax.
Black Girl Magic! 🙂 Thanks so much!
I actually pour at about 145-150 degrees. I tried that Alex method in the beginning and that did not work for me! The process goes as follows: 1) Melt wax to no higher than 150 degrees F. 2) Once melted, add FO & Dye if you are using it. 3) Let cool to 100 degrees F and pour into room temp containers. I heard this method was tried and true but pouring at 145 has worked for me. It really takes testing and practice because some fragrance oils mix best at lower temps which then means you will then pour at a lower temp. It helps me to keep my pouring pitchers warm, to ensure it doesn't cool the wax too quickly.
@@ParisNikkole thank you for your reply it was very helpful 😊
You have blessed my entire soul and pockets with these gems!!! Keep being beautiful and inspiring!!!
LOL! Thank you so much 🤗
Thank you so much for this video I am just starting and clueless and I wanted to educate myself because I love this craft u are amazing god bless
You are so welcome! 😊 Many Blessings to you and Good Luck!
Thank you So much. Definitely going to tune into more of your videos. You easy to follow. I enjoyed this video.
Awesome! Thank you! So glad it was helpful. :-)
Thank you for this.my 9yr old started a candle and wax melt business and he's very devoted and committed.So would you choose wooden wicks over others that can be used with coconut Apricot wax? He just purchased his first 45lbs of this wax and we are struggling with the correct wicks..any help is appreciated..ty
Hello Julz! That is amazing! Congrats to your young entrepreneur 🎉 I prefer wooden wicks over cotton wicks and as far as the jars are concerned I use 12oz jars and wooden booster wicks .625 from wooden wick co. Hope this helps!
@@ParisNikkole Thank you for the advice. HE TRULY APPRECIATES IT..🥰
Idk why but your entire voice and vibe is like ASMR to me. Its so calming.
Aww thank you! 😊
What temperature is the wax when you pour the fragrance oil in
I mix my FO at around 160-165 degrees and stir for 2 minutes so generally it gets down to around 150 degrees before pouring into a candle jar.
How do I measure out how much fragrance to wax ratio 😢
I love how you didn't beat around the bush with the information thank you🌹🌹
You are so welcome Tisha! 💜
New subscriber here!! Thank you for sharing this video and information! I am a candle lover and I get frustrated at times when I'm shopping for a certain fragrance and can't find it. Now I'll be able to make and customize my own personal candles just the way I like them. Thanks again for sharing these wonderful gems!!
Thanks for subbing! Yes, it is so much fun to make candles and experiment with different scents and waxes! Have fun! 🤗
Im in the process of starting my candle business, this video is very helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! 😊 Good luck to you on your journey!
@@ParisNikkole Thank you!
What kind of wax are you using? Do you use the same for your candles and wax melts?
I use coconut apricot wax for my candles and clean soy wax for my wax melts because the coconut apricot wax was just too mushy for the wax melts.
What do you advise a person who just just trying it out like sampling to see how to make candle number of candles and fragrances to buy to try?
I would suggest you start with a candle making kit. There are several companies who offer kits (candle science). Also, I went overboard when choosing scents and started with 30! I purchased an ounce of each just to see if it were something I would like to add to my collection . I ended up liking them all so I made 5 candles for each scent. This allowed me to see what the customers were purchasing so that I would be able to narrow it down and offer a smaller selection. Shopify offers great analytics to help you once you are ready to start selling! Best of luck to you girl! 😊
I have a double boiler and other candle making supplies and not even making candles. I need to dig them out and buy some wax.
Go for it!! 😊
Thank you, Paris! I too like one by one; I think it’s more consistent. I’ve always wondered how people pour so many at the same time, and if they get consistent results each time!
❤️❤️❤️
Hi! Great video!
What is your melting point?
What is your mixing point?
What is your pouring point?
200 degrees to melt my wax, sometimes my melting pot goes higher but it doesn't affect my candles in a negative way.
I mix my fragrance oils in at around 160 degrees and I pour around 145 degrees.
Since i have been making candles for so long it varies but my results are consistent. Meaning my hot and cold throw is amazing!
Hope this helps!
I want to use coco apricot but I live in a very small town in Texas with no candle suppliers nearby. so I’m scared my recourses will be slim. Where do you get your supply from? and are their multiple options
Hey Kasey! The supplier I use ships everywhere so no worries. When you say multiple options do you mean for suppliers or wax types? Use this link to purchase supplies if you are interested - makesy.com/?rfsn=6483391.6813ea
I love how you fill your vessels up. I've seen some candle makers only fill to 12 oz. in the Aura jars and when the candle has solidified, the vessel looks empty. Personally, I would not buy a candle that looked half-filled. Do you get an AWESOME HT with the wood wicks? I'm kinda on the fence with the wood wicks because they are so sensitive.
Thanks so much! ❤️ Yes, I get a great HT with the wooden wicks. They are very sensitive but once you get your formula down and decide which wick works best with that formula and wax, you will be golden!
@@ParisNikkole Thank you for your prompt reply! Much success to you and your business.
I have been glued to your videos, thanks for all the info, question, do you blend your oils or you purchased them already blended with a unique fragrance?
Thank you so much! ❤️ I actually started with purchasing my fragrance oils pre blended but as of lately, I am testing out blending my own. It is important for me to separate myself and provide something unique.
Let’s talk about that face beat. Just gorgeous.
Aww thank you girl! 😊
Suga nooooo. Never display the recipe to your products...
LOL! Thanks Laquivia! I don't mind sharing my process. Each brand is unique and although this is my way of making candles, this may not work for everyone. I wish I had someone share how to start a business and the process on the way. It would have made things a lot easier for me. Many Blessings to you!
Heyyy fellow Chandler!! What wicks are you using with your Coco Apricot wax? I'm using a similar wax and am having trouble with using the correct wicks with this wax.
Hey There! 🤗 Check out my wick testing video ruclips.net/video/rDUK-UGQDFs/видео.html I have provided the links for wicks I have used or recommend. Hope this helps!
@@ParisNikkole I am sooo sorry I found that out after the video.. please excuse my impatient behind lol... thanks again for the videos... #NewSubscriber #NewChandler
Fun to watch, thanks! I just bought the wooden wick sampler kit from wooden wick candle co (I think that’s what it’s called) so I’m excited to see which one works for me :)
Thanks so much for watching! So exciting! I hope you find what works for your candles. It took some time and a lot of testing to get my candles to a point where I felt comfortable selling them. Hoping my video helps! Best of Luck to you on your journey!
@@ParisNikkole thank you!! Yes, a lot of testing is ahead of me 😅 I’m excited though! If you ever make a video about your testing process I’d love to see it! Like if you burn the candles all the way, or only for a couple hours, and how you keep track of all the things you tested. I just bought a notebook to keep everything organized but I’m not sure how to organize my tests best haha. Looking forward to your next one!
Lovely Video very informative. Where did you get your sweatshirt?
Thanks so much! 😊 I actually make tees, sweatshirts and hats! You can check them out at www.wiredstitch.com/
Thanks what company did you get those vessels from and what size are they
Makesy: makesy.com/?rfsn=6483391.6813ea
Can you please tell me how much fragrance oil you’d need for a couple of 9 oz candles???
Sure! What would you like your fragrance load to be? 10%, 9%, 8%?
I have a similar question but for 8oz at a 10% load
@@ParisNikkole I’d like a 10%
I know that candle making and juggling jobs and family are not easy and the fact that you take the time to help us new candlemakers is phenomenal!! So again I’d like to ask again becuz I don’t think 🤔 I was being clear 🤷♀️ I needed to know a fragrance load you would put in a 9oz jar ( I’m thinking 🤔 at a 10% load ) Does the company you buy from matter
What size wooden wick did you use thanks much
.625" width and 5" height woodenwick.com/?rfsn=6483391.6813ea
@@ParisNikkole TY my queen for all your help, I am praying to get my business off and running soon! God bless you and continued success
What size jar is that?
What brand fragrance you buy for soy? Or soy blends??
Hi Kristy, I purchase from multiple suppliers. As long as it is natural and clean! Check out the fragrance oil providers in the description. Hope this helps!
Hi, do you offer a Zoom class on candle making ? I would like to get in the business.
Hey! Not at the moment but working on it. In the meantime if you have specific questions, let me know. So happy for you deciding to start your candle business!
Girl that same thing happen to me the oil ate up the plastic I was soo pissed!!!!!!! Never again
Yes! Such a waste of money! 🤯 Lesson learned though.
Hi Nikkole
I just subbed. Thanks for sharing and inspiring. Really appreciate that you are teaching others! Well done young lady. You will be continuously blessed ❤️!!!
Thanks for subbing! ❤️ I appreciate your positivity and kind words! Thanks for watching! 😊
How do I make the math if I’m doing 12 oz vessel total
Of 12
You would just multiply ounces by number of vessels for the amount of wax you will need. I use grams so for instance, if I am making 3 candles that require 360 grams of wax per container that would be 3 vessels x 360 grams wax = 1,080 grams of wax in total. You would do the same for fragrance. Since I use 10% fragrance load I would multiply 3 (vessels) by 36 grams (fragrance oil). Check out my candle testing workbook, it has all of the formulas and testing sheets you need to get your calculations right. a.co/d/8UTPycI
How long did it take you to get good ?it seems so hard
Hey there! It took several months of testing to really figure it out. However, I am still learning and growing as I go. It seems difficult in the beginning, especially when you are testing and things just don't seem to be working out. But once you get it, you will be so proud you stuck with it!! You got this. Don't be hard on yourself and remember "Rome wasn't built in a day" 🤗 Take your time.
Hey! What size are the wooden wicks that you are using ?
Hey Charlise! The wicks I use are .625".
New to the candle making world, so I'm trying to figure out some information. About how many grams of wax would I use for a 4oz candle?
It would depend on the over fill limit but 4oz is 113 grams. Check out my video on how I found the amount of wax needed to fill my jar perfectly ruclips.net/video/0yT9VOWZOxU/видео.html
@@ParisNikkole Thanks a lot love your videos...
Thank you SO much. This was awesome! What measurements would you recommend for 8 oz jars?
I am a beginner and I’m trying to figure out if I want soy wax, coco soy or coco apricot. What do you recommend? And how much of each? I was thinking ordering all 3 in 5lb slabs but I was told my a friend that she ordered 45lbs first
Hey Yvonne! Welcome to candle making. I would suggest coco apricot or coco soy. I have tried soy wax and did not like the weak scent throw that it provided. I will say my fave is coco apricot though. I wouldn't go all in on one wax until you are done with testing. It may be a bit more costly to purchase 5 pounds over 45 pounds but what if the wax doesn't work for you? You will then be stuck with wax you cannot use. So buy small and test, test, test in the beginning to make sure you are happy with the final result. Hope this helps! Good luck on your journey love! ❤️ I am here to answer anymore questions you may have.
@@ParisNikkole thank you! I did go with the coco apricot and cannot wait to get my hands on it. As far as packaging. Is there a place you’d recommend?
Are those class jars coated with a color? Where u buy those?
I believe they have been painted. Check out the links in my description box. I add several suppliers that I use or would recommend. Good Luck!
thanks for sharing! i think it's so beautiful that you're open to sharing your knowledge/resources.

Absolutely! It is coming tomorrow. Had a few tech issues today so I wasn't able to load my video. Hope it helps you on your journey Sherri! 😊
Very informative and detailed video. Much appreciated, thank you. 💕
You are so welcome! 😊
Can you use essential oil in coconut and/or apricot wax?
Hi Jasmine! Most scented candles contain a combination of natural and/or synthetic fragrances that may be derived from essential oils or from synthetic aroma chemicals. A well-made candle will contain only fragrance materials approved for candle use. So make sure you are purchasing oils that have been approved for candle use because if not, essential oils can be highly flammable.
What temp do you pour your FO in and what temp do you recommend pouring at? Thank you!!

This video is very helpful thank you. have you decided on your wick?
You are so welcome! ❤️ Yes, I use the .625 wood wicks for my 12oz jars. There are several types though so make sure when you choose your wick it is compatible with coconut wax if that is what you are using. makesy.com/?rfsn=6483391.6813ea
@@ParisNikkole Thank You!
At what temp are you putting in your fragrance? Also what temp are you pouring?
I generally add my fragrance at approximately 160-165 degrees and I pour around 150 degrees. The wax cools down significantly fast after pouring from the soy lite wax melting pot so you really have to watch the temp. I have had my wax solidify as I was pouring it, causing it to stick to the pouring pitcher rather than pouring into my jar. Good Luck!
@@ParisNikkole thank you for your reply.
The time lapse of the melting wax……🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 ❤
Your video is so helpful. I’ve been experimenting with candle making and this video helps me so much. Thank you
You are so welcome! 😊
thank u for explaining in detail. appreciate it 😊 have a question, how much wax did you place in the melting pot before heating it to fill a one 12 oz jar please. Also, in order to sell do you have to wait 2 weeks for it to cure before you ship it out to the customer, or can you ship after curing it for 24 hours and then ship to customer after? please let me know. appreciate your advice 😊
You are so welcome! So, I generally just fill my wax pot up to the max level and once I use all of it I refill. I have a new wax melting pot now which is larger than what is shown in this video. As far as curing is concerned, if you cure the candle for 24hrs and send it out, it generally takes 2-5 business days to arrive to the customer which is plenty of time. I have found in testing that even after 24hrs the candle performs as it should and the scent throw is strong!
@@ParisNikkole that is amazing Paris. thank u so much for getting back to me

How do you calculate wax with fragrance since you are doing it cup by cup?
At what temp do you add fo and what temp do you pour into vessel
Can i know what wax you used?
Sure! Coco Apricot Creme makesy.com/?rfsn=6483391.6813ea

You are so welcome! 🤗
Wow I feel like I watched you a while back .. now I’ve switched from 464 to 83 to soy 10 but woww I bet the apricot coconut is really good.
Yes the coco apricot is AMAZING! I love it! ❤️ You should try it out and see what you think!
I love your energy. Thank you for a great tutorial. I am looking forward to your next video and all the best with your candle business.
Thank you so much Regina! I appreciate your kind words!
Thank you thank you thank you! I’m waiting on my started kit to arrive so I can begin to get familiar. I’m super excited about it, I love that you provide thorough info to your supply list, it a gold mine of info. I’m so glad to have come across your tutorials, would you saw that your blended wax produces a better quality wax then say soy wax? Thank you!
You are so welcome! 😍 So excited for you to get started! 🎉 From my own personal experience I would say that the blended waxes have worked best for me. So, definitely try a few and see what you feel is working and what is not working. Keep in touch! I want to know how you are progressing and always feel free to reach out with questions! Good Luck!
@@ParisNikkole I most definitely will, I love the clean look of your candles which is what I’m looking to achieve as well. It seems as though all of the suppliers are out of the coco apricot creme right now. I’m going to keep an eye out and hopefully I can preorder some. Thank you again!
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.. I have a question, are you using a 12oz vessel? Do you fill it exactly at 12oz (340g) with wax? The reason why I am asking is because the wooden wick Company told me that the 12oz vessels holds 11oz of wax.. that I suppose to to keep at least an 1 inch empty, from the wax to the top of the vessel.. I don't know if I am explaining myself well.. but 1/2 to 1 inch above the wax and the vessel.
You are so welcome! ❤️ Yes, I actually fill my jars up to 12oz. I feel like anything under that looks so shallow. I want to give my customers a longer lasting candle so 12oz is great!
hello beautiful sister. I'm from Indonesia and I don't really understand your brother's language. can you answer my question? i want to make an aromatic candle.
dissolve soy wax to what temperature? and what temperature should you add FO/EO to?
Yes of course! Can you send me an email Arini? hello@parisnikkole.com
Just found your amazing channel! How do you get the wick sticker on the bottom of the wax for your refills so that you can peel off the sticker on the bottom? Do you pour into a silicone mould and when dry, pull it all out?
U are absolutely amazing for this video. I’ve learned soooo much! Other videos that I’ve watched aren’t as detailed and I really appreciate u telling us ur errors for the fragrance container too! Ur such a queen ❤ thank u!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment more than you know! ❤❤❤
What degrees do you start pouring your scent ? And what degree do you pull the wax of the heat
Do you use 1lb to 1oz to the coconut apricot creamy wax if not how many oz to a lb
Hello love your video , just found it today . How would I calculate how much wax and oil I would use for my 8oz jars with 10% fragrance load?
Do you need anything special to buy FO from AFI?
No, you just need to sign up for an account.
This was very helpful information and your performance was amazing. Thank you so much. 😊
Thanks so much! I appreciate you. 😊
Hey, have you tried wax from California Candle Supply? Coconut 83
Hi Debbie, I have tried their tart wax but not the coconut 83 wax.
Thank you for sharing
My pleasure and thanks for watching!
Subscribed while your intro was going.. for some reason, I knew I would like your content. Keep it going! Your information is so helpful
Thank you so much! 😊 I am definitely trying to fill everyone with all of the info I have!
I forgot to ask you! How long do you let your candles cure
Hey Shana Marie! I actually allow them to cure about 48 hours before burning and they smell amazing! Sometimes they cure longer but 48hrs has proven to be enough when I was testing.
@@ParisNikkole ok great thank you! Do you have a Instagram or Facebook? Thank you for replying back I feel like most people don’t. I could really use some candle friends.
Anytime! Yes, my instagram is instagram.com/auvrealcandleco/ It definitely helps to have candle friends! LOL
I want to do candles how do you get your materials what web sites do you order from? Can you do a video explaining we’re you get your materials?
Hi There! Check the description box underneath the video you watched for How I Make My Coco Apricot Wax Candles, it has all of the suppliers that I use or recommend. 🤗
