Kaitlyn, one thing, you could do to keep it from coming out of the metal stars or anything metal is sticking it into your freezer for twenty minutes before you pour the hot wax in. Usually, not always but usually it slows it down and hardly it lets any out

You and Bargain Bethany, especially Bethany, are the ones I go to with the faux food and drink looking candle ideas.

Hi! Kaitlyn! I just wanted to tell you how much I love all your videos! You are such a brilliant and creative person who makes beautiful diys projects. Everytime I see your videos I get inspired by your creativity. I have used several of your projects. Thank you for taking time out of your busy life to give us your unique and original ideas for projects. Hope to see more videos on your new home. I can see how beautiful and decorative your new home will be. 👍💯👋⭐👌

The wax colors in the little tins are so pretty. I love the designs on those tins, they are so pretty.

I LOVE your pressed flowers DIY's. They always turn out so BEAUTIFUL.

I love the look of the Anthropologie knock offs towards the end! Thanks for the refresher on making tassels.

Making candles can be a very fun craft. I started off doing similar using Dollar Tree candles and melting and pouring into other containers. I started doing research and determining ways to make candles I would like from colors to fragrance to wicks and containers ect. It's trial and error honestly. Its just about doing it safely. Some advice the dips you get on the candles the wax is a little too hot and the container cool so take a heat gun to the inside of the container prior to pouring and it'll help, this used to happen to mine a lot. Getting a candle or kitchen thermometor will help check temp prior to pouring, different waxes pour better at different temps. Also recommend putting the wick down first with glue or glue dots before pouring as it helps to center the wick for best burning. I'll say the pillar glass candles at Dollar Tree are like a whipped wax and the wicks are not the best quality. But I'll say it's not very expensive to get started with better quality wax, containers, wicks, fragrance oils ect and honestly being able to make it the way you want is just such a fun thing. Also electric wax melters are a great way to save time and melt insanely fast. Also if a candle is to be lit I recommend not using glue, paint, nonwax items in it just for safety but if just for decor I see no problem. Using molds to make wax inbeds are another option if the candles to be burned.These are of course just suggestions. I think you're doing great putting your crafts out there for people to see. Best to You & Happy Crafting!

The berry garland on the candles also resembles fireworks. Lol!

The flowers with the white candle is beautiful

The flowers with the candles is my favorite!

The HOME candle is adorable.

First of all you are my favorite crafty girl with amazing ideas each and every time and second I thought of a video. How to fix a mistake on a project! I can't seem to make anything right the first time and thus this will help me out learning what I can do when I make a mistake instead of throwing it away!

the reason you wax is caving in or tunneling is because you are pouring the wax in when it is too hot. I tried it both ways and it works better if it is not as hot

Beautiful candles with floral stickers.

You could use up partially burnt birthday candles for the mold. What a great way to recycle.

Love all the different ways you made the candles. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤

Cute ideas!

I really and truly love all of your candle diys but my favorite is the one that you made in the Irish glass with the "whipped cream" I'm going to try my hand at it

So creative and beautiful thank you for sharing have a wonderful evening 💙💗🦋🌈💚💜

Love the Red White and Blue candles!

Loved all your ideas.

Love the star.

Loved the pressed flower & fern vases and the pretty gold floral candle holder you put in your bedroom. That would be nice in a bathroom, too. Nice ambiance while taking a bath. The floral tins were so pretty with the candle wax in them, too. Tysmfs!! 🌿❤

I know I've said this a million times or more, but your creativity is out of this world.

Good job on them all! ❤

Great job as usual!!! I loved the simplicity of the star candle. As far as the wax seeping out even after you use hot glue, I wonder if the wax is so hot that it's remelting the hot glue?

Love the pastel candles! Pretty spring colors.

Wow! Amazing ideas. What is the lemon and sprinkles made of? If candle, how do you create them?

Thank you for all the candle ideas. It’s hard to pick a favorite.

Use hot glue to hold your wick in place (maybe) so it don't move on you

The jar with the floral vine is beautiful.

Great candle ideas. Blessings 😊 🙏

nice liked them good work. I likes all your work thanks

Bellísimas ideas

I loved the pressed flower candle!! I need to go find some!! 5 flowers candle on the board is beautiful! They all were great!

Cool ideas

The red white decopauge candles were cool.You did it in less then 5 minutes. The garland look like fizzling fire works

So many cute ideas!! A candle maker told me that if the wax is too hot it will cave in like that is happening. 🤷‍♀️ Love the pressed flower candle. Thanks for sharing.

The red ,white and blue are adorable!

Sweet candle wax…whipped cream!! ❤❤

I love them all, but my favorites are the pink with the frosting and the one with the dried flowers.

Beautiful crafts Katelyn! I hope the flowers come back to my area stores this summer as I’d like to make the 5 flower arrangement for my bathroom. Thanks for such creative & beautiful spring & summer decor ideas!

Great job on all your items. I love all of it. Thanks for sharing!

Love them all! Thank you 😊 Leslie

Great ideas. Thanks for the Dollar Tree glass ideas and containers that you have been successful at candle making! Also the idea of using the gluesticks to help prevent leaking. You're good at explaining what worked for you and what didn't!

Love the star candle

Everything is just beautiful!

Love them all!

Liked the pressed flower candle.

I think the wax was too hot & ended up melting the cooled hot glue. I don’t know how you could get around that. But I love your ideas on different ways to use the $Tree candles. Keep on bringing us your $Tree hacks.

You are soooo creative!! Love all your candles. My fav was the HOME candle!!

I really enjoyed your candle diys Katelyn!! They are out of this world 😊❤

Use silicone in a tube to seal your metal containers

I am new to melting candles an I made a disaster, so I kind of wanted a guide that would help me to do it a lot more smoother without a disaster. what would you recommend I get that would help me learn?

Love all of them! Where do you get the pressed flowers from?

Couldn't keep track of which was going to be my favorite. So I'll just say all of them!

So cute, tfs

Hi KATELYN, I had the same problems with my candles sinking in the middle and I found that if I put them on a candle warmer, it levels it right up when it melts them. Hope this helps and really enjoy your tips.

So cute

Ive done stars and added citronella oil to use outside

Love ur ideas. I’m wondering if you use flex seal inside the tins would that stop the leaks

You are so talented, thanks for the idea of whipped wax, I am 73 and learn something new every day.

❤❤❤❤❤

Cute video, love the ideas. Quick question, does anyone know if the whipping trick also applies to soy candle wax? Will it even whip? Curious to know if anyone tried it before (before ingivenit a go) TIA 🙏

Cute

If it leaks when it's made, then won't it leak when it burns? Also, what does everyone do with the empty candle glasses?

@mikkimalone9927

I'm wondering the same thing. I guess they could just be made for decoration and not to burn.

I wonder if you used epoxy or resin to seal the buckets so the wax doesn't leak out.

Carol here.❤️❤️❤️

Where did you get the lemon slice? Is it real or fake?

Since there are so many really nice faux candles out, I am going to try some of these ideas. I've never liked burning real candles...scares the begeebers out of me.

You may want to use a different type of glue. Hot wax melts the hot glue. That is why it leaked.

What is the sound track Katelyn uses?

I can't ever find the DT faux leather so I use pieces of belts or purse handles etc...

?do the flowers burn in the candle. ? Fire

Where do I get the wicks?

Please be careful picking random glass to make candles. As a candle maker, this can be very dangerous and disastrous. Some glass can not handle the heat and will explode. Please please be cautious of this and let your subscribers know for their safety.

Also, do not light those candles made in tins that leak. When the wax melts it will leak again possibly on your table. And worse, cause a fire

If you use caution and common sense, reusing candles can be perfectly safe! Most glass jars will say on them if they aren't safe for heat!!!

@@6kidsagluegun that is not true most of dollar trees glass jars don’t say anything about heat. People can have common sense and still mistakenly have a mishap not knowing. Also I didn’t even touch base on fragrances, on what they can do if you don’t have the knowledge of candle fragrances. I’m only looking out for peoples best interests/safety.

I wonder if you put the buckets in ice water before pouring the wax in. Maybe they would harden faster.
