Today we are refining one of our homesteading skills but it will also contribute to having an aesthetically pleasing home! We are making candles!
Most candles are full of fragrances and hormone disrupters, but not these! We are just using straight up beeswax and essential oils. Easy and quick! I hope you enjoy the video and be sure to subscribe for more homesteading, homemaking, and motherhood content.

If you add coconut oil into your beeswax (up to equal parts beeswax and Coconut oil) you will have better scent throw, need less essential oils to get a good fragrance and the candle will burn longer. I typically do about 16oz of CO to 1lbs of wax. Its worked great

@semi-homesteading 9 месяцев назад

Ah great tip, thank you!

@breakingthroughshellfitnes9984 3 месяца назад

Isn’t 16oz 1 lb?

Unfortunately essential oils are hormone disruptors as well as central nervous system disruptors. So sad. Use whole herbs and flower petals to send your products.

I also had the problem with the wick separating ftom the base so I now clamp them extea tight with a pair of pliers.

Good tip!

So what link may we use to buy the best wicks with the most secure base? Without having to buy from two separate manufacturers. ?

Just added the link to the description (thanks for the reminder!) but here it is! amzn.to/3uev5rM

Did you use a bit of wax to secure the bases of the wooden wicks or the glue tabs? Just curious - I’m wanting to make BW candles - I love the smell of beeswax ❤

@louierockefeller9371 9 месяцев назад

So what happened afterward? How did it smell? Did wood wick? Did the job

@semi-homesteading 9 месяцев назад

It smelled really good! Definitely a noticeable smell this time which was great, and the wood wicks were so much better. I still placed the wicks a bit unevenly so it didn’t burn perfectly but huge improvement

I thought essential oils were toxic when heated? Don’t they release the gas formaldehyde? I wanted to make some scented candles but I lost hope. I don’t know if it’s true or not. I got info overload and gave up and settled for unscented and just run a diffuser for scent.

I wasn’t aware of this but looked it up and it can happen with certain oils it looks like. Thankfully lavender is safe even at high temps :)

that's perfect actually! I want to make them mostly for relaxing at the end of the day. I wish peppermint was safe so I can use it to repel spiders lol@@semi-homesteading

I'd add only E.O.s that are ingestible. If you can't eat it, don't snort it or apply to skin.
