How to bundle for me to bundle for

My understanding is the heat and speed that you melt the candle. If you melt you at a lower temp for a longer time you wont get that crack or sinkhole….I usually melt mine on the stove in a pot with boiling water on a low temp…i dont have any issues once they solidify..hope that helps

Do you keep the water boiling or at a low simmer? And are you putting the jars in before (when you first put the pot on the stovetop) or after the water comes to boil?

@robertadejean3081

@@chickeegombert6063 I place the jars in as soon as I put the pot on the stove..I leave it on low to simmer the entire time until the wax has fully melted.. I just go around doing other things in the house…this can take about an hour. Not been in a hurry helps the wax so that later when it cools you have no issues. Just make sure you have enough water. I use a tall pot that’s taller than those jars but I’ve also used a regular pot used for making pasta.

I'm a candle maker. I sell them. You don't need to heat the jars as some have said, but heating the wax to 175 degrees and then pouring it at 150 degrees is essential. I rarely get the sinkhole or uneven tops this way. Also, allowing them to cool in spot that is not near a vent, fan, etc so that they don't cool and set too quickly will also help!

Great idea! Helpful hint, if you feed the wick though a straw, you can more easily attach it to the bottom of whatever container you're using.

I get excited when she pops up. Because I know it's something fun.

The heat gun really is the quickest way to deal with sinkholes. If you're wanting to be a purist (and who has time for that?) you can either warm up your jars before pouring your wax into them. Alternatively, you can wait until your wax cools off significantly, between 125-135 degrees. As you've probably guessed sinkholes are caused by the hot wax drying faster on the outside of the candle than the inside. Also, even if there doesn't appear to be a sinkhole you should give all your candles a poke with a skewer to check, sometimes there is one lurking just beneath the surface.

I learned the same thing. I heat up jars so the candle cures slower.

The secret to no holes or cracks in your candles is to to preheat the jars with your heat gun and to let the wax cool just slightly before you pour them into the jars over the wicks.

While the vinyl isn't dollar tree, if you have a cricket it's cheaper than using Dollar Tree stickers. Heck even if you have her send it to you, it's still cheaper, unless you can find something you like that works for all three jars in one sticker packet. I just bought some of these jars yesterday at dollar tree, my son said why? I said, "I'm sure I'll find a Kelly Barlow video to give me inspiration" now I'm trying to convince him I'm psychic😂😂😂😂 I can't wait to do this!! BTW, I have the same issue with the cracks and sinkholes.

Who doesn't love candles as a gift?!..indeed, who doesn't love making candles to give as gifts(..and maybe keep a few back for ourselves!)?! These turned out beautifully..of course!!

I LOVED THE CANDLE MELTS THAT IS AWSOME😍😍😍😍😍😍

The candles look professional like something I’ve seen in a store. Very nice DIY.

You sound anxious about the video don’t be worried I love your videos

To avoid holes, cracks, etc... The glass jars need to be near the temperature of the wax. Once poured walk away until the next day.

After watching this I got creative. I got some really cute Christmas stemware at Goodwill for .50 cents. I’m going to make candles out of them. When I looked closely, there was very small painted labels below the holly and berry designs on them. “Arby’s Christmas Collection 1987”. I was going to cover it with ribbon and changed my mind. They’re RETRO!!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial. Candles make great gifts! Your ideas are darling!!!

It's funny I heard complaining about the dollar tree store raising the price , you know what I will pay it. the store is my go to, I Love Dollar tree Why because I have 3 beautiful grandbabies and the joy and laughter that we share exploring different ways to be creative Well it is worth it. 👍💯💟💟💟

Super stinking cute 💝

Your best DIY yet in my opinion. That’s because before you even showed it I am already doing the same. I have been been a fan of scented candle use for sometime since the pandemic so I started buying the brands from Walmart. At the same time I started exploring the ways could minimize my candle expenditures by watching KZreadrs make candles. Then I figured out accidentally how to melt candles both scented and unscented and not to start from scratch like melting waxes, and that when I was able to make candles like the one you’ve shown. Oh my! I was beyond impressed at my discovery. Started melting leftovers from all my candle glasses and mixed matched them until I did exactly what you did. I bought the tall glass candles and the scented melts and votives and mixed them too. Then I just bought a candle kit at Amazon. The rest is history. and here you are showing this trade secret so called lol thats probably going to dent the profit of some candle sellers. LOL! I found that buying a set of tall tapered unscented long life candles on Amazon was my thing as my baseline candle for making the scented because they do last longer than the ones on Dollar Tree, thereby saving more money. Thank you for this video. Much appreciated.

One thing more for smaller candle glass holders like the votive size I just use my coffee hot plate and it works like a charm. No need to use my oven. For the taller ones I use my coffee cup warming plate. Both works and it takes like 15 minutes then the candle is liquid. Just my little tip in case someone thinks the meting procedure is too cumbersome with ovens or double boiling. just make sure you dont walk too far away from it.

Wow I just had flashback to my younger days of melting paraffin wax from the feed store and using old milk cartons, cans, etc. We used crayons and food coloring. I don’t remember what we did for scent. I think I’m going to like this method even better. Thanx for sharing!

Really great idea! If I may, I would like to make a suggestion: when adding the fragrance color wax cubes…carefully tilt the tall candle glass slightly and add the add cubes. By holding with the silicone holders you should have a good hold and the cubes will slide down and not splash your hands. Safety observation. :)

Those candles are still a great deal for DIYs, whipped or not! For years I've made candles for gifts and it's gotten harder and harder to find candles to melt without paying a fortune. Plus, with those tall candles you get plenty of wick! I still like the "old-fashioned" candles made by pouring wax around crushed ice - in white they're great for a winter look!

After pouring the hot wax into the jar w/wick and pour .5 let set cooling then pour the rest on top this will fill any sinkholes hope that helps. And I think adding scented oil to the cubed wax will enhance its fragrance tremendously. Fun and I like the crayons, for 🎨 vibrant colors
