MAKE WAX MELTS WITH ME // TRYING SOMETHING NEW WHILE IN ISOLATION 

Please so not sell with just warning labels... you need CLP by law 😊 i make waxmelts and sell so i will help where i can

Use the microwave and a heat proof jug, I have a company making them and that works perfectly x

This video is a prime example of WHAT NOT TO DO on so many levels! Hot wax, balancing the large pan on top of smaller pan, pouring into mold on uneven surface..... need I go on! This vid should have come with a warning

This was fun to watch, thank you. I too started making melts and candles not too long ago. You most definitely NEED a pouring jug, a FLAT surface and a warm environment for when they are cooling, as odd as that sounds, they need to cool down VERY slowly, to avoid frosting. As for your stones, may I suggest you axe that method and maybe try glitter? works better and looks prettier, plus the end result is much better since you add the glitter at the very end when they're almost completely dry.

I make candles and have done for years and I found this brilliant. Couldn't stop laughing. Well done.

Love this Kim! Maybe do half a pour, let it set, pour the rest then add crystals. There won’t be as much displacement xx

I really enjoyed watching this. It made me laugh when you dropped the spoon in and then the thermometer too as that's just the sort of thing I'd do! Will you be filming when you make the candles too?

Pot looks like scratched Teflon which can be cancerous so better to throw that thing out, if you use Teflon pans please Teflon surface should be intact. For salad just use ceramic bowls.

Yes I’m enjoying watching this, it’s something I’ve wanted to try, watching you I now know how not to do it 😂 but I think ill still make a few mistakes, keep at it, I see your vision 👌

Love this. Wait for the melts to set, then carefully use a lighter to gently soften the top layer, then pop the crystals on top x

You had me shouting out to you "Use the jug" and laughing my head off. Great entertainment. Thank you. I thought I was messy. Good on you for having a go.

I think they look nice with the white- like a marbled effect. The crystals in it is a cool idea 👍❤️💫

You and Ian crack me up! Too funny! 😂😂 l have always wanted to do this and felt l didn't have the right equipment either, was interesting to see it was quite simple to do! Thanks for sharing . 💜💜 xx

Hahahahaha i loved when he said: smell my finger #couplegoals

For the “double boiler” you could use a Pyrex jug, I make my own version of Lush Buffy bars, and the large Pyrex jug makes the liquid mug easier for pouring...

Enjoying watching your video. I've just ordered the same so ur video has been very helpful thank you. Cant wait to make my own :)

Fab video! Well Done! So natural and so me :) I've just ordered a kit!

Did you get a jug in the kit? Wonder what it was for 😂😂

Pot size the other way around, small pot inside big pot with boiling water. 😁

Thanks for sharing 🙂🙂

I used to make soy wax candles and just melted the wax in a Pyrex jug in the microwave. Ikea do a few different silicone ice cube trays which may work well if you wanted to try different shaped melts. I found that making them without adding dye looked nice too. :)

SHE IS A BIG PAGLI WOMAN.

Love the idea of crystals in the wax melts x how about some actual lavender and glitter x

Thanx for that it was great . I happen to like that marbling effect.

My kitchen is a HOT MESS when I’m making candles and melts! Wax all over the place, including on the floor! Never see that in videos! Made me think something is wrong with me! Lol

How can I find the candle kit company? X

A smaller pot goes into a larger pot. This way the water surrounds the wax container.

Loved this! I love crystals and I think that is such a fab idea! Maybe try a deeper mould so they are fully hidden, it'd be like an imperial candle oooooh! :) I stumbled across your video because I've just ordered some bits and bobs to do my own! I'm just wondering, was the fragrance in these strong enough? I've ordered some 10ml bottles (wishing I had ordered bigger bottles now though!) I'm wondering how much wax I need to mix them with to get a good smell, I've seen most people doing 10% fragrance oil in there batches but am I right in thinking yours was 500g wax to 10ml of oil? Just curious how strong that mix was :) x

someone may have made this comment already but if they didn't. For the cracks and crumbling look, next time don't fret, just put your crystals in, let it harden then use a heat gun or your blow dryer to melt just the top and it will smooth out.

I found your video, and you are hilarious! I live in the US, and have been making and selling candles and Wax melts for awhile. I'd try a parasoy blend or tart wax and you'd have better results.

Kim order some more silicone trays or use the silicone cupcases (the mini ones are fab for tartlets). I've made wax melts before and found that practice makes perfect. Great job 👌

You could try melting the tops of the melts with a hairdryer to get rid of the cracks.......... worth a try :))

Silicone muffin cases might work for your bigger melts, easier to extract from cases, and ice cube trays - flying tiger do some fruit shapes that aren’t very expensive

You can fix the cracks with a hair dryer - not too hot and once they're poured, leave them alone to set and you won't get so many cracks.

Your husband is a G. Sh sh sh shake like a Polaroid picture! Lol Thanks for this video

Omg you are hysterical loved your video I have just bought a kit also so going to try it soon x

Can you try to remelt the top slightly? It might make placing the crystals easier and closer to how you want them to look.

You can use a hairdryer to gently melt the top of the candle to fix the cracks xx

Hey Kim, hope u and yr family are well. OMG i loved the vlog, i absolutely love wax melts, and im also a big fan of the lavender scent 😀 anyway i feel inspired to try and make wax melts now tooooo. Thanks again 👍

Great first attempt.The white makes them look authentic and handmade.💟

I found this really informative - thank you! *clapping emoji*

So realistic! Thank you!

With the hearts put crystals in first then they will be on smooth side

This was funny lol

Where did you get your kit from?

I really enjoyed this :) defo film the next one! Xxx

lol love ur video

Saves time and mess

Love it! 🤣

I do body shop! only started over lockdown! Watched this video as I’m wanting to sell wax melts on the side! This was super helpful! x

Ach this made me giggle great job

You made me laugh

Loved this x

Lovely melts Kim you have inspired me to have a go film the orange too I’m sure they’ll be great well done Deana

Loved watching this video! You’re so natural and wonderful to watch! I’ve actually just tried making soaps which is surprisingly similar to making wax melts, and also made a few wax melts too. Took me 3 lockdowns but I got bored and bought a load of stuff and gave it a go. I love the crystals inside the melts idea, because it’s like a nice surprise when you melt them and they pop out while the wax melts. Will check out your shop for crystals 😊 x

Love the outfit and hairstyle in this video
