DIY Scented Candles  

Came here to also say this lol.

What’s the fragrance called that are made for candles ??

​@@Katesgotyourtongue how much of the oil do u put in? And do u have 2 cool the melted wax a bit before I pour it into glass so it doesn't break?

​@@Katesgotyourtongue can you use this same method but use the fragrance oil instead 🪔?

​@@kajalkhatri1034 CandleScience is a good place to start. Make sure to follow the recommended usage, which is typically up to 9-10 % of the total candle weight.

I make candles and didn't think about the floating wick, but you're right that could be super dangerous, thanks for the advice!

@@rosieday7482 you are most welcome

@@AzathothTheGreat once the wick has extinguished itself becomes too low to light you can use a warm water bath or double boiler method to remove the rest of the wax. then use a butter knife to peel the wick off the bottom.

Can you do this same method but use fragrance oil instead?

@@s.e.t.3055 Yes definitely use fragrance oil but don’t use the method from this video because without the correct formula and temperatures you will not get a good smelling candle no matter how many drops you use and your candle will also not burn properly. I would suggest watching videos from people with real experience for the best results.

Thank you so much I appreciate the feedback,I'm definitely disregarding this video lol and I'm goin to order the kit I seen off of Amazon,it gives you all the right things and shows you all the right methods ...thank you again 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

@@s.e.t.3055 also make sure to order a kitchen scale and a thermometer if you don’t have one already then you’re all set

@@fanm_lesantilles4541 I'm on it thank you 🙏🏿

Yikes! This is scary. I first saw her video and thought “oh cool, this looks easy and I can do this w what I currently have at home!” HOWEVER, after scrolling the comments, I FROZE. TRULY NO ONE SHOULD BE MAKING THESE VIDEOS UNLESS THEY SPEAK W ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE as you have. Thanks so much and God bless!

Essential oils aren't necessarily dangerous when used in the correct quantities, but they are not going to yield as strong of a scent as fragrance oils. The type of wax, the type of wick, the size (thickness) of the wick can also will determine how strong the candle scent is and how well it burns.

I definitely wouldn’t recommend putting alcohol in a candle but aye what do I know

@@vendetta6291 thanks! I’m just going to use essential oils that have the same notes as the perfume lol

@@02gracie I am a candle maker and do not suggest perfume or essential oils. Use something like fragrance oils.

Theres a sweet spot that is perfect to put your oil in. Not too hot and not too cold. The oil needs to bind with the wax. If the was is too cold it will not bind with the wax at all. You need to put the oil in below about 10 degrees below the flashpoint of the oil.

NOOO it will burn

@@randomuser3208 ohh ok ty

Some are

Essential oils are safe to use in candles, when used in the correct amount. The largest problem is that essential oils do not smell as strong as fragrance oils and some waxes don't work well with certain oils or fragrances, so some people end up putting dangerous amounts of oils into the candle in an effort to get it to smell stronger, creating a fire hazard. It's best to either buy a pre-made candle making kit from a reputable seller or to make sure to do the proper research to make a safe and effective candle.

Thank you.

SOME essential oils are toxic to pets and infants. I have an entire business making room sprays, cleaning products and candles with essential oils. I also provide safety information and tell customers to do their own thorough research as well.
