I was wondering Sarah did you transfer all of your mca colors into the square containers along with your glittered did you buy them that way? If you transferred them where did you get your containers from to transfer your mica powder and glitter?

Hi I have a new video up that has the shimmer mica linked and the neon mica is from fizzywhiz x

thank you x

Thank you so much x

@@sarahbellessoywaxmelts 🙂🙏🏼

thank you so much, I have a more in depth video on my channel, my most recent video that tells you where I got the mica powder from :) x x

thank you so much, i try to be unique and different x

Hiya if you go onto ebay and type in mica powder there is sooo many pop me a message on Instagram and I'll find u the link x x

Thank you x

It depends on what wax you are using it should say it on the description from your wax suppliers, mine is up to 10% so of I'm using 100g of wax I can use up 10g of FO

Thank you x I'm glad x

I mixed my neon mica powder with the fragrance oil first before mix it with the wax, u dont have to do it that way i just find with the neon mica it doesn't mic well if u put it straight into the melted wax x hope this helps x

No it must be suitable for wax melts x check with the supplier

@@sarahbellessoywaxmelts ok sure what kind of glitter do you use

This is a good question, i pop them in the microwave for a couple of minutes and then I wipe them with a micro fibre cloth, I wash them properly with hot soapy water also whenever they need a good clean

What bottles do u mean please

The bottles with the Gold tops and the bags of mica powder. I was trying to find out who made them. Also where did you get your little storage containers with the blue tops on them that had glitter and mica powder in them.

I'm sorry .I was asking about the storage containers with purple top on them . The ones you have your blue punk and white mica powder in.I also was able to see in another video the bottles of mica powder with the Gold tops thanks.

The neon mica in the bags was from ebay too but I cant find the seller just type in neon mica powder or I get get it in tubs now from fizzywhiz

I got all my equipment from ebay or amazon 😍 im going to do a more in depth video soon x

@@sarahbellessoywaxmelts Did you make the in depth video yet?

@@rmt3589 yes check out my latest video if u have any questions let me know x

Hi Sarah really enjoyed watching your video, thank you.

@@Martinaunmask thank you so mucj glad u enjoyed x x x

Yes that’s correct shimmer and colour x

Yes its a legal requirement in the UK to have clp on every wax melts that includes free sample x

Thank you so much, to wrap the melts I just use cellophane which I cut up into pieces, and the I buy my postage boxes from ebay x x

I will do a separate video on them but when your buy your fragrance oil, the suppliers will have the clp information you need in my case, there's a link under every scent I buy which has the clp information I copy this onto avery and print my own labels at home, but there are company's that print clp labels for you just type clp labels into Google x

I work out how much wax I use per pack of hearts or per snap bar and the how much fragrance oil and everything else I use and find out the exact price it cost me to make my products I go by weight .. so I work out what 100g full make product would cost to make and then use that as my base x .. then obviously add on time etc x x x

To every 100g of wax i use 10g of fragrance oil x

It beautiful, it doesn't no x x x

Oh that's so sad im so sorry, unfortunately I can't ship to the USA at the moment I wish I could thank you so much tho for supporting me x x x

Hiya if the temperature in your room is cold then it can cool down fast and get thick you can try pouring at a slightly higher temp if this is the case , or heat up you jug or pan you use to pour from before mixing your wax in . X hope this helps x

Heya sweetie I really think it depends on what wax your using when it comes to frosting, I use kerasoy 4120 buts its like gold dust to get your hands on at the moment x I heat to 70, add fragrance at 67 and pours once I've mixed it up for a couple of minutes x

for a fragrance oil to meld with ANY wax the temp of the wax MUST BE 185 degrees when you add fragrance. Stir for 2 minutes to incorporate the wax and fragrance oils. This produces the MAXIMUM fragrance throw from wax. Also...it's important to add the correct percentage of fragrance oil to wax to get that smell just right. Without this it's a failed chemical process and you'll only get a weak smell once it melts. 185 degrees is the magic spot for any oil/wax mixture to adhere and mix with each other. I use 10 percent fragrance oil to my wax. You can go online and find a fragrance oil percentage calculator to make it easy for you. Doing these 2 things have made my business go crazy! My reviews say things like: OMG the smell fills my whole living room and they last so long and smell so good. That's the secret to wax and scent throw. Scent throw meaning how the wax smells while it's cold and while it's hot. Hot throw and cold throw. You want both the hot and cold throw to be amazing, right? That's the only trick to standing out in such a saturated market. Try it. Also, to fix your cloudy pours....go online and look at what temp. the manufacturer tells you to pour the wax.....use that temp to pour and you won't get frosting. Making wax products is all about the temperatures. 185 to mix scent, color whenever and pour temperature. Always read the suggestions for the wax you're using. Also, how to measure how much wax you need.....Again, read the package suggestions and multiply by how many you have. There's your answer to how much wax you need. Example: I have 4 oz. tart shells.....I want to fill 2 of them.....I need 8 oz. of wax minus my fragrance oil amount. .08 oz. of scent oil so, i'd need 7.2 ounces of wax plus my scent to equal 8 ounces. Hope this helps you. It's confusing until you get the hang of it. Just keep swimming!!! LOL.

Sarah, could you also explain what needs to be on the label? I have read that business name , address, scent of candle but then i just see warning label that says use in wax burning etc... Not a detailed sticker. Help please ! Lol

Video coming soon hopefully x

I melted all the wax in one go and weighed it out once melted for each scent x works out to be quicker that way I do want to get a machine that melts the wax and keeps it at the correct temperatures x

@@sarahbellessoywaxmelts Oh ok, do u have to reheat the same wax again when adding new scent... if it would go cooler

i does stick to the melts, but also with anything shimmery or glitter it will get onto your fingers a little, but the user is only going to take it from the package and then straight into the wax burner. so it doesnt get too messy.

sometimes i let them set over night, sometimes i pop them out after a couple of hours, depending on how hot or cold the room is , they will set quicker in the winter x

No u can do either x x x ♥

For the heart molds I use 100g wax and 10g fragrance oil this fills the hole heart mold x

The metal spoon came with my mica powder i got them from ebay x x x

I will make a video on this but the molds i only properly wash them with soap and water once a week in between i heat them up in the microwave or with a heat gun and then use kitchen towel or microfiber cloth to wipe over. The brush i just brush the excess of on a bit of kitchen towel and also wash with soap and water once a week. You must make sure there fully dry before using again.

No its completely different the wax or glue used to seal letter is a very hard wax ... soy is a very soft wax x x x

Thank you! I'm really clueless about this sorry😅

I got it from ebay x x x

Unfortunately mica does naturally sink to the bottom its will dance around for a while as it melts but it will sink there jo way of stopping that ... if u want u just wake the mica up again by giving a little stir with a cocktail stick x x x

I leave them at least 4 hours ... sometimes I get impatient and take them out before but sometimes I leave them out over night x

I add fragrance at 67 and I pour once I have stirred the frangrace in for two minutes I dont recheck the temp x x x

Just cellophane that I cut to size

@@sarahbellessoywaxmelts thank you 😊

Thank you x

hi.. no i dont i just brush the mica powder straight onto them .. soy wax melts tend to have a slightly oily layer on them naturally so the mica just sticks to them.

Id like to know this too....cute boxes

I suggest by starting with a kit , you can but them on Amazon , that way you can see if you like making them, yes I am registered, I can’t remember the exact rules u will have to research it but I believe u don’t have to declare your business untill you are 1k in profit, I get my cellophane from craft store or Poundland and I get my boxes for Amazon , my biggest advice would be not to copy, be unique that way you will stand out. I make my own clp’s. It’s tricky but cheaper and convenient … hope this helps thank you for watching x

@@sarahbellessoywaxmelts Thank you for responding to my message, It really means a lot and your advice and feedback has been helpful. I was also wondering if you have to put your home address on the labels and which labels would your hoe address need to be on? I wasn't sure if I was keen to use my home address but that's where I'd be making them so I guess i don't have any other options? That's really good that you make your own clp labels. Do you have a video on how to make them? Thank you in advance x.

Yes I get neon mica that gives the bright colour and then I got normal mica that gives the shimmer x ive been doing this for about a year and half x

@@sarahbellessoywaxmelts thank u Sarah! big big big help!Cant wait to buy some for my wax melts

@@nikoscott3285 no worries glad i could help x

I print them myself but when u buy the scent the information u need will be on there website, u can print them yourself if you have sticker paper and a printer or u can get company's to make them for you x

@@sarahbellessoywaxmelts thank you for your help x

Wax melts, are pieces of scented wax that you place on a wax burner with a small tealight, the wax melt releases the scent into your home x 😍

For my labels I designed them myself on canva and then I just print them out using a printer and label sheet which I buy from avery x

Maybe I shouldn’t have said label lol. I meant the stamp for the outside of the box.

@@lovelysanders5060 ooo hehe .. OK there was a company I found on Google, I will find there exact name when I get home for you if you like, pop me a message on Instagram and ill send you the link. If not they have tones of company's on etsy just type in custom stamps x

I could it from ebay x x

Where did the shimmer powder come from?

I made my own clp labels I can do a video on it if your intrested x x x

Yes please do a video on it, thanks

@@sarahbellessoywaxmelts yes please

@@sarahbellessoywaxmelts hey I just a asked my dad he sed no becuase we live in a different country and it’s gonna take a long time I kept beigging him he is so rude>:(

@@iiluvyouuwolfhard9854 not to worry sweetie I have an instagram if you would like to follow x x

@sarahbelles_soywaxmelts

Heya good question, in the UK you do not to get them tested and like with soap as u are not using them on the skin etc, all you need is the correct clp. And obviously do you research and trial and error until you get them perfect x x x x

@@sarahbellessoywaxmelts thank you so much! :)

sorry i dont understand x

All mu prices are on my website link is in the bio xxx

Hiya I use 100 grams of wax and 10% oil x

Heya I would u more then happy to talk you though it if you wanna give me a message on my instagram x @Sarahbelles_soywaxmelts

​@@sarahbellessoywaxmeltswhere did you get the glitter and mica from? These are gorgeous ❤

Hiya it depends on your fragrance oil and your wax that u use so make sure u research on what ever wax and oil u choose but for the one I use, I add my oil at about 67° and I add maximum fragrance loads so 10% so for example if I use 100g of wax I would use 10g of fragrance oil x hope this helps

@@sarahbellessoywaxmelts thanks great info thanks much appreciated ❤️

Hey pop me a message on my instagram x x x x

i use soy wax x

@@sarahbellessoywaxmelts I purchased 415 Soy Wax. They tell me it is no good for melts. Can you tell me which soy you use?

I use kerasoy 4120

Hi thank you for watching The glitter hasn't caused air pockets for me , the mica doesn't settle as the wax sets very fast it doesn't have time to sink ... it will eventually sink tho when you use them in a wax burner.. thats just a natural occurance as the mica is heavier. I honestly can't tell you about bees wax as I have never tried it sorry. Yes thats sounds like a great idea and yes baby powder smell so lush x

Hi, just mabey buy yourself a kit to start of with , that way u will have everything you need to start off x good luck x
