I just want to say that I have studied your content for at least a year and today I burned the very first candle that I made and it is beautiful. I’m a first time mom so it took me some time to get started, but in the meantime I researched and took my time purchasing everything I needed from actual candle supply companies,Soy 10 Wax performs so good! You mentioned it in one of your videos. So I say all this to say Thank You! The candle looks so professional and performed very well, I am well on my way and I couldn’t have done it without you ✨💛

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo Thank You!!!!!

I'm very glad you decided to start this "reboot" of the basics. As an avid watcher of candle-making videos with the distant hope of selling candles one day myself, I sometimes get overwhelmed with all the moving parts of it all. I've been wanting to take a deep breath and start from the beginning, now that I've gently broken into making and testing candles. Although I could easily start with your first video and work my way through again, I think having you start over after all you've learned as a professional candle-maker will allow you to add footnotes you weren't able to add years ago. Looking forward to it.

@tracidarby9853 - I couldn't agree more! Thank you, Erica. You are appreciated!

I’m grateful for you Erica! Congratulations to you and your husband on the beautiful soul you’re bringing into this world. Many blessings to you both💞✨. Also this series is definitely in demand🥰

Look forward to it, thank you

Hi Erica, just found your channel Devine timing…lol as I am exploring candle making as a therapeutic activity/hobby and possibly to sell during special events. Thank you so much for your series am so enjoying them thus far. Would love if maybe you could share your perspective on barrier of entry aspects. Appreciate it.😊

Thanks for this series. Just getting started in candle making and have yet to make my first candle. Reusing 22oz candle jar from a used candle. Still gathering info and supplies.

Hooray 🎉🙌🏻

Excellent info, thank you

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo What temperature do I have to get one pound of wax to so I can pour the fragrance oil in? and what temperature does it have to be for me to pour into the vessels?

@MemoryBoxCandleCo

Жыл бұрын

@@SophieWingfeather it typically depends on what wax you are working with. All waxes will have different instructions on how hot to heat it to, however the standard with most waxes is to heat to at least 185 degrees and immediately stir in the FO. The pouring temp into jars is personal preference and can also depend on the wax you’re working with. For instance, I pour hot immediately after stirring in the fragrance oil, while others choose to weight until the wax cools down to 130-145

Nice.

Glad you are making these videos as im just beginning with my candle business....thanks for the elder sister care(I feel) as i was just planning to start my business ❤ Also, could you advice if i should start with both jar candles and pillar candles? Or just one type of candle at once! Im confused with it..

I don’t know a lot about pillar candles, I only know about container lol. But if you want to dive into both then go for it! It may be helpful and less confusing to master one at a time though :)

Where would you suggest would be the best place to find good quality candle vessels

Please ma’am, how do you calculate how much fragrance to add on 1oz cup and let’s say 30 pcs of them too

Hi anyone suggest me best wax to make sweets. Candles

I'm sure one of your videos mentions this but not many others do. I started making some candle and most of the time I'm impatient and just jump right in. I noticed that my white candles started turning yellowish brown. They do not tell you that it can be caused by the fragrance oil, also there was a product I believe it was UV something which protects the candle if its in sunlight basically like a Sunscreen for candles that you should use for it to not turn brown

My wick despite the fact that it is not very high, leans in one direction making my candle melt more in a specific area and not achieving 100% melt pool. It is like a waxing crescent (or whatever is called in English) because the wick is not still. Drives me nuts. Erica, what should I do about that? Thanks!

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo Ye! And to be honest from the get-go, after 5 minutes in, the wick starts to lean towards a random direction making the area hotter creating this uneven melt. Should I trim it lower? It is about 1/4 inch but I dont count it exactly. Should I make it a bit shorter?
