This is how I make paraffin candle from home. This easy, step-by-step tutorial will guide you in how to make your first candle.
Paraffin candles are what the likes of Jo Malone and Bath & Bodyworks use in their candles because of the amazing scent throw you can achieve.
In the recent years paraffin wax seems to received bad press, however I have come to the conclusion from my research that I am happy to burn paraffin candles at home and therefore make them. You can find some reading material to help you make up your mind. If you do choose to make a paraffin candle you can find my step-by-step guide in the link below.

Candle making seems so calming and like it would be a really relaxing date idea too i was thinking about that today. And the fact that you can make your own keys you be super flexible

@HAPPYPLACE 3 года назад

This is so fun to watch. Also knowing you literally need minimal equipment to get exactly what you want. The wooden lid is def a nice touch.

@personalone7515 3 года назад

ive watched hundreds of these videos and this is the ONLY one ive found in grams!! THANK YOU!!!!

Outstanding! I have been making candles for about a year and a half, and I was searching through a bunch of candlemaking videos this morning. Yours is the best, and I’m going to follow you. I’ve always worked with soy, but I’m going to start blending soy with paraffin just to see what I can get.

My bestfriend is trying to start her own candle business. She had made a candle but I had to let her know she needed to add more scent because you can hardly smell it. I love for candles that can fill a room with scent. So i know she would find this video helpful. The candle turned out pretty good.

New subscriber here, very informative video. I punched the air, yes when you work out your FO to the amount of wax that you are using. I had a bit of a discussion on a Facebook page about working out the correct percentage, for the amount of grams you use and was laugh at by two young ladies, telling myself that my math was incorrect. Now l feel ready to try my hand at this new hobby, just need to get my hands on some wax.

@jalisaroach3449 2 года назад

Hi great video can I ask what would you do if your container is tin and would your recommend heating that up I’m failing so far with soy and coconut wax they don’t melt very well

@IshaniParbhoo 2 года назад

Hi Jalisa, your wax should be fully melted before pouring into the tin. Heating the tin helps the candle to stick to the sides of the tin so it does not come up. Hope that helps! Thank you :)

@rachelforbes4887 3 года назад

Hi Ishani, as someone very new to candle making (with the aim to one day open my own small business!), I've found your videos so incredibly useful and informative - thank you for sharing your tips and insights! When it comes to testing fragrances to find the best % for fragrance load, I wondered if you always tested with 10% in the first instance or if you started lower and increased % as required? I understand some fragrances may require a higher load than others, so I'm trying to wrap my head round what would be a good starting point so my testing is more meaningful. P.S. I purchased your Taurus candle as a gift for a friend and it smells divine!

@IshaniParbhoo 3 года назад

Hi Rachael! Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰 I’m glad you’ve found them useful. Aww thank you for supporting my business, I’m glad you liked the smell ❤️ So now I actually test two at a time with 8% and 10% load, when I first started out I was going directly to 10%. This is if I know what the general wick size is (like if it’s the standard container I use). If it’s a new container and I’m testing out wicks then I keep fragrance load consistent for all jars at 8%. Hope that helps! Let me know if I you have any more questions. Thank you again so much for everything ❤️

Oh cool a fellow Taurus, that's brilliant. Aww thanks, I'm excited to reach 1K, I've enjoyed making videos again too. Haha I'm glad it looks simple, it took sooo much testing to get to this point. There are lots of parameters to consider. Maybe a kit would be a good option for you :)

Hi Ishani, I've learned a lot from your channel! I've got a quite a few questions.. any you have time to answer will be much appreciated! 1. what wax suppliers would you recommend? (I'm in England too) And do you use paraffin blends or just paraffin? 2. I notice the Amazon stickers are a lot cheaper than the candle shack ones, do you know if they're reliable? 3. can you recommend a good brand of Amazon vinyl gloves? 4. Are basic, lidded glass jam jars popular vessels or do people prefer to buy open top glass vessels? Thank you and I look forward to more vids.

@Joe-os3vp 2 года назад

Wick-making might be a good subject for you to talk about. I don't see that many people talking about it. After much searching around town for crimping pliers I ended up on Amazon!

@IshaniParbhoo 2 года назад

Hello, Awesome! So pleased you've learnt a lot :) Sure! 1. I use CS2 from Candle Shack. It's a paraffin/vegetable wax blend. 2. I've not used stickers from Amazon. Generally I prefer to buy my supplies from candle making suppliers as I find the quality is much better. 3. I like these gloves: amzn.to/3BweUpf 4. My best advice is to understand who your customer is. My customers like open glass vessels but I can't say that across the board everyone likes it. I would say it's important to conduct some market research and see where your idea fits :) Thanks for the recommendation of wick making! It's a great topic! I appreciate it!!x

@jasmeenmalhotra2225 3 года назад

From an audience targetting perspective, I'm slightly concerned you might be limiting your conversion rate with the Zodiac line. Most people will just go ahead and check out their own star sign, which will be called The Taurus Blend or The Leo Blend or whatever, and when they read the detailed product information they'll find out what the scent details are. And that may or may not be something that they're interested in, scent wise (most people who are interested in buying expensive scented candles have at least some idea of which kinds of fragrance notes interest them). And most people are not going to go clicking through all twelve product pages to read the detailed description and find something they like. If the product names were descriptive though, it would be easier for people to identify what they're interested in. So for a bad example, if it were to be called something like "Sunset in Bali" (something less crap than that) then people would know to expect coconut and lime, or if it were called Tuscan Retreat (something less crap than that) they would know to expect cedarwood and bergamot or whatever, and then people could directly go to the product pages they're interested in to read the scent details and confirm whether it's what they want or not - they would have to do a lot less clicking and therefore they're more likely to convert to a sale. I'm sorry this is totally not advice you ever asked for and I hope I've not been offensive! Thanks for the helpful video, and I'm excited to make my first lavender scented candle!

@IshaniParbhoo 3 года назад

Hi, lovely thanks for such a detailed response! I totally understand what you mean and it was something I was concerned about so I have a DIY version, which allows the customer to choose their scent. So they can still have the aesthetic with the scent the choose :) It's been 7 days since launch though and surprisingly from the sales I've had, only one has requested a different scent. What I'm planning to do it highlight the DIY option to entice anyone who might be on the fence. Aww brilliant excited to see how you get on with your lavender candle :)

@jasmeenmalhotra2225 3 года назад

@@IshaniParbhoo That's a brilliant idea! More visibility of that option will definitely get more clicks. All the best, I'm sure they'll fly off the shelves.
