🕯️ Wooden Wick - Soy Wax - CANDLES 🕯️ + Talk about Fragrance Load and More | Ellen Ruth Soap 

I just made 24 candles. I colored them. I started blending my own wax and it gives me nice tops and no frosting. It has taken me around two years to discover which tins, glass, wicks and wax. It is a science. There are times when I make them exactly the same every time and they look different. Soap is definitely easier for me than candles.

Now I want to make some candles.. I didn't even know about wood wicks til my husband, of all people, told me about them yesterday...

I so love your channel ❤❤ I watch every day. Trying some of your recipes for bath bombs

Thank you for the tips, Ellen. I've had a problem getting my wooden wicks to stay lit in the beginning. After several tries, they finally stay lit. I love the common sense behind the soft wood and hard wood combo. I also have seen medium wood wicks. Not sure I want to try them yet. Will definitely do the double wick process. You have saved me a lot of research. Thank you. Like anyone, my time is valuable now that I'm babysitting my precious grandchildren half a day. Thank you a million times over. I want my customers to return.

Ellen oh no you have gotten me interested in making some candles now even if just for me to use. You made it look doable. But how would hubby react not more supplies!!! Thanks Ellen

Love a tin candle I think they look so much better than glass and they have an old fashion look to them. I do love a White candle they look very classy. Thanks for sharing xx

I never made candles. This a great idea Ellen. Thank you so much for the great video.

Love the candles without color! Bravo!!

I’m the same way this year most of my soy wax candles are just white with a wood wic in a different glass containers I mixed it up this year I did simple candles cuz my soaps and bath bombs are colored a lot I didn’t want everything to be so bright lol to me the best candles are white with a light colored embed on top 😊I got wax melts colored too yours it looks good

I just received my order that contained the lemon curd scent and the toasted biscotti and they smell beyond amazing. I highly recommend them.

Thank you! I've been wanting to try wooden wick but have heard it can be tricky. I prefer smaller candles too.

Thank you, Thank you… Ruth you really make your tutorials very easy to follow… many blessings ❤

Thank you. I can't wait to do it for the 1st time.

Great video, Ellen! My daughter wants to start candles. I'll have her watch this. Cheers 👍💕

I wasn't super interested in making candles up until recently (now that I'm not pumping christmas-y soaps out :) ) but I have these exact same wicks and vessels, I'm going to try, thank you.

Hey Ellen, I've never seen anyone melt wax this way 😳, I usually see it melting with a double boiler. Interesting, learning something new.

They are so cute in the tins! I’m a jar lover myself, but stick to the smaller sizes too! I get bored or just do a 100% beeswax. ❤

Thanks for the information. I am new to candle making.

Thank you great video I love the look 💕

Great video Ellen. I love the 'old fashioned look of tin candles too. Another pro tip is I use a pancake cone pourer - it's less messy and makes pouring candles quick and easy. I'll now have to go through all my scents I use for soap making and see if they would be good scents for candles too. Thanks for sharing and happy holidays!

Love your video!!! There are 2 sizes of wicks? Which one did you use? Half inch or 1 inch wide? Thank you & God bless you and your business 😁

Hi Ellen. Do you ever run into these wicks drowning in the wax? I’ve done cheap & expensive wicks with GW464 with 8-10% FO no color or dyes added. I don’t always get a beautiful flame. I have not tried BeScented wicks.

Can I use essential oils instead of fragrance oils?

Only 1 week for cure?!?! I was told 30 days! I'll have to look into this! I purposely quit making them for the holiday season because I wouldn't have enough time to cure them!

Hi there. I was looking on your Amazon store and I couldn’t find what scale you use. I’m looking for one that does the exact like 0.75g

Do you do one poor . Do you get a smooth top ?

Where do you get the caution labels?

What size wooden wicks do u use i have a hard time with the wicks
