I have a weird question. I painted some wax melts to look like firecracker popsicles - using the alcohol & mica together. It looks really cute, but it comes off easily, like glittery mica is everywhere inside the bags they're packed in, etc. & It doesn't look very good to me like that. It's there a way to fix that so it doesn't "shed" as much? This is my first time doing it this way, so I probably should have painted it inside the molds, then poured the wax into that, but I painted it on the wax melts themselves. Why tips on how to fix that? Or should I just sell them like that & just do it differently next time?
Hi! Mica can come off pretty easily when painted onto wax. I personally get better results painting it into the molds because it tends to stick/bond better with the wax. If you don't like the look, you could also try melting them down and starting over. Mica can also be mixed directly into the wax to help tint it. Mica tends to sink to the bottom of the mold which can be a cool effect depending on what you're going for. I hope this helps!
@@NorthWoodDistributing Well, the look itself is actually really nice - it's just that a lot of mica is falling off them & getting on the bags & whatnot & it just kind of looks - messy to have that on there. But the melts themselves look adorable lol.
Thanks for watching! The mica powder should stay on fine when they are handled, but it will slowly come off with washing. You can also use shrink wrap or cling film to keep them looking their best until they're used!
Hi Barbara! The mica paint tends to wash away after a few uses. You can paint mica into the mold before pouring the soap but it will have a similar effect. If you want to fill in portions of a design with different colors of soap we go over this method in our pumpkin soap video! ru-vid.commYKM4BKvKS8
Hi! I used 10% fragrance for this, but 8-9% would also work well. This is CB2 wax, which is a coconut-soy blend that has really great scent throw! We have this wax & all the supplies on our website :)

I have not tried this with just paraffin, so I can't say for sure if it would work. The coconut wax blend is a softer wax than paraffin which helped get the results in the video.
You can definitely use beeswax to make the candles. I'm not sure how beeswax would work for making the whipped topping because beeswax is a hard wax, and the whipped topping works best with softer wax.
Hi Micah! Thank you! Plastic molds can be a little tricky to unmold. It's usually easier if you let the soap sit in the mold overnight before unmolding. The best method is to pull the mold away from one side of the soap to create an air pocket, and let the air get under the soap before trying to pop it out. Hope that helps!
Hi Meena, sorry to hear that! The wax can harden quickly after it is whipped, but you should be able to remelt it and try again. This post has more detailed instructions that might be helpful: madewithnorthwood.com/how-to-make-whipped-candle-wax/ I hope this helps!
Hi there! unfortunately we currently only have shipping to the U.S. and Canada. International customers are welcome to use parcel forwarding services though.
I've heard that baking soda can make jars explode from the pressure. Can I leave the baking soda out? Or how would I go about making that, I don't want the jars exploding on anyone.
Hi there! You can certainly leave the baking soda out :) As far as we know this problem only happens if the bath salts are not completely dry before they are packaged. It's because baking soda gives off carbon dioxide as it dries, and if it is packaged in a sealed container too soon, the gas will have nowhere to go - this can potentially damage the jar. Hope this helps!
Hi! These bath salts can simply be poured into the tub when you take a bath. If you prefer not to clean up the petals, you can pour the salts into a fabric bag and soak the bag in the tub (kind of like a tea bag). Hope this helps!
Hi! Aroma beads are mainly used as a DIY air freshener. You can melt them into shapes in the oven using cookie cutters, or you can simply pour the scented beads into a fabric bag to create an air freshener. Hope this helps!
