Hi! Thanks for sharing this! I've read in other places that you're not supposed to add powdered pigments directly into the wax since it will then clog the wick. That you should rather use a coffee filter to infuse the color through it (for several hours). What's your experience with this? I´d prefer to do it your way since it seems both faster and more efficient but haven't tried it out yet.
Hi! My candles are not very big and the natural colorants do not clog the wicks. I use cotton, waxed wicks. I have thoroughly tested my candles because some herbs and spices are not safe to use in candlemaking as they can burn and blacken. Always experiment and see what works for you. You might like infusing them with a filter more. Thank you for your comment 🙏 Take care!
@witcherwoo the wicks are waxed 100% cotton and molds I've found so many places, craft stores, kitchen stores, thrifted, given to me by friends who buy some for baking and never use, ebay and etsy
@@witcherwoo8938 thank you for watching and your questions! Etsy is a wonderful source and alot of times molds are handmade so you can support a small business. Take care!💛🍂
@Nikki Mukherjee You can of course filter them out but it will make your colors much lighter and pastel. As long as you choose herbs, spices or other natural colorants that don't blacken and burn you can leave them in for rich color and it adds to the scent when you burn them.
