Amazing 💕🥹🤭 I was so lost with my molds until now lol!! Thank you 🙏🏽
Amazing, i tried the cup method and it turned out very wonky on top 😂 this little hack is amazing with the tea towel, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I've just received my bubble candle mold & had no idea where the wick would be placed. It's my first go. I only have bees wax from the farm. Do hope it works.
Thank you so much. Informative, no wasting time. Nice music also. Thank you. I got my bubble moulds, I'm excited to get started.
Thank you
What to do if the hole in the mold becomes big
How to clean the mold
Your video is so informative, I like the way you tell us all the steps for making candles, Thankyou for Sharing with us🙏😊
Thanks 😊
Love it…what wick did you use to achieve a longer burn time? Thanks in advance.
Such a great video invest in a wick pin it avoids piercing the bottoms and leaves less mess it’s saved me so much time with pillars
What is a wick pin and doesn’t it get “glued” to the candle if it doesn’t have a hole to escape from?
This is by far one of the most informative & well put together videos on how to make a decorative candle. Bravo!
Thanks 😊 means a lot. I try to make the video I would want to watch as a candle maker.
Which wax have you taken
I made these bubble candles yesterday for “research “ purposes. I found out a lot of information through my research … wicks, wax, timing, temperature, coloring, etc.
what temperature?
Hi:) .. what's the best wax for this candles?
I recommend Kerasoy pillar wax
@@GlowedCandles thank you :D
can you guide me regarding time and temperature, also how much amount of fragrance is required for what quantity of wax ? please
Beautiful
how do you do it with the stick wick you had first?
Really informative vedio, got to know many good tips. Thank you
Glad you found it helpful.
Thank you soo much dear
Hi, thankyou for the cloth tips, im using a soy wax for pillar candle, but it always leave some cracked on the side, i tried to mix it with 464 but it leaved with some moist textured and wet, any tips??
Thanks for sharing the making of those elegant cute bubbles candles! May I know how to glue two parts of candles together if I hv broken one ? Thanks a lot!
No, you can’t glue them back together. If they are unscented and with no dye you can melt them and pour a new batch.
Thank you so much. This is very useful :) But I wonder when it burns, will it melt like oil or it'll disappear in the air?
These will melt (part of the wax will burn). What you refer to is a dripless candle (no melting wax). I have heard of those but I have never tried them.
Great video, thanks so much for sharing! Could you maybe share exactly which wick you use? The link only shares a bunch of searchresults with all different wicks, thank again!
It depends on the wax you are using, if you are using colour or fragrance oil. All of these will impact the wick size.
I soon by these bubble mould from daraz and making this candle like you then share it with my CZcamsrs
Great video…. I couldn’t figure how to get the wick inside❤
How can i avoid the top part still good because qhen i do always look flat
I tried this but I see you have got a neat finishing in the bottom but I wonder how I am getting the hole after drying the candle
Hi, i like ur video btw.
At what temperature does it take to pour palm wax? mine is always broken inside and has holes. Thank you
Hello, I have never heard of palm wax, sorry I can't help with that
Hello! Thanks for your video! I have made one of those with soy wax but unfortunately at the time of bringing it out of the mold it kinda chipped, could you tell me how can I avoid this to happen or give me some tips? Please!! :)
Hi there! Are you using soy wax formulated for pillar candle? Check this video to find out why it is important: czcams.com/video/48JcjPbA1Ms/video.html
Hello, could you tell me please where you get your brown wick ?
Hi, can you tell us how ti burn test? And is it normal these kind of candles leak?
Hiya, Thanks for this. I want to make some of these candles, I have the Kerasoy pillar wax and mold, I just need to order the wick. Please could you tell me what wick you use as a starting point? Thank you.
Hello, I would suggest CL or TCR wicks
@@GlowedCandles what size tcr?:)
Thank you so much for your helpful videos, could you please leave the link of the candle wick you buy from yourself. Thanks
Thanks 😊
It depends on the shape, each shape will need a different wick based on the diameter and overall size of the candle
Hi, I'm making these candles as a present for my wedding guests.
I've already tried to candles I've made and they don't burn as I thought they would burn. the wax is leaking through the smallest part of the candle. Do you have any advice?
I would be so grateful!!
very good
Thank u for your video! This's very useful for me(I am a beginner)
how should I do to avoid air bubbles?
Thanks 😊 make sure to tap your pouring pitcher on the table before you pour. It helps removing bubbles.
@@GlowedCandles Thank you so much ! I'm gonna try.
And the question about wick, why everyone is leaving that long wick while pouring the wax if any way we cut it in the end? I always make it smaller so I dont waste that much of a wick. What do you think? :)
I just made a candle with a shorter wick and it fell into the candle. Maybe that’s why? Idk? New here 😅
@@jessicaehirsch9557 For me, they fell only a few times but I was able to fix it immediately. So I don't understand this waste. 🙈🤷🏼♀️
Making them shorter requires more work when you make volume (100 at the time) because you need to recentre, etc… so it is more efficient for me. Keeping length at the top of the candle can be to add a tag or to do a pretty knot to finish the look.
Yes, you can but generally ready made wicks come long in size
@@abrolneha3678 I use wicks which you cut yourself the length you need.
Hi there! Your bubble candle is beautiful. What do you burn it on for safety?
Hello, thanks.
Usually a tray
Awesome video! Just what I was looking for! Did you trim the bottom wick after removing from the mold or did you leave it long? Thanks!
Thanks 😊 yes I trim the wick
@@GlowedCandles hi I'm mpumi I want to learn on how to make candles please help
Now I have to find a big thread needle thanks
Hiya, thanks for your tutorial. Ive been making candles for ages, using soy wax 464, but ive decided that tomorrow, im making all my moulds. What wax would you recommend for mould? Ive got an Orchic pillar & melt wax
Hello, picking the right wax for mould is super important. I recommend Kerasoy pillar blend or ecosoya pillar. But it really depends where in the world you are and what is available in your country. Get a couple of 1kg bags and test is my best advice.
@@GlowedCandles Hey , I tried using a parrasoy mixture and it worked nicely. Is that a good combi what do you say ?
I have never tried wax blend, I always use the same wax (Kerasoy pillar blend).
Ma'am, does it melt and get desgaped when we burn it?
Hi..thanks for ur tutorial..had a question..I am finding it difficult to make a hole in the mini mould for the wick..any suggestions pplease?
I'll try this! Just wondering if the mould can really be reused after piercing it because I also use my moulds for soaps etc
Also, after making 20-30 of these maybe the hole expands and gets so big the have to throw the mould?
I would not recommend using the same mould for other craft as there will be wax residue as well as FO / Dye depot on the mold.
As per the lifetime, yes there will be a point we’re you need to replace it but if you are careful you can make hundreds of candles with the same mould.
Hi! Thanks for the video. I'm trying to make soy candles with molds but my candles are always frosted, can you please help me...
Do you cut the bottom of the wick completely or do you leave a little hanging out?
Hello, I cut it completely.
What type of wick do you use?
Hi, any tips on how to prevent spillage at the bottom of the mold? I made one candle and it turned out great, but with the second one, 1/3 of the wax seeped through the bottom of the mold.
Hello, you can use blu-tack to block the wax from spilling.
Hi, Tell me what is the whole is to big? Is there a solution for this problem?
Hello, I made candles last night but a came across a few issues. One of them being my wicks not burning. Is there something I should dip to get the wick to burn well?
Hello, yes. You should prepare your wick by dipping it into wax.
I just bought a bubble mould and wanted to know if you could just make it upside down,the top being flat,rather than put a hole in it? As you'll be burning it from the top anyway?
And how do you do it with the wicks with metal bottom?
I have seen people do it, there is no rules.
Does anyone know if there is a tutorial on how to make shell candles? I can’t figure out what size or type of wick to use so the shell burns properly
Go back on her channel she has some
Hello, I have a few tips in another video but I could shoot a dedicated tutorial as they are very tricky and have been my nemesis for a long time! Thanks for the idea, I will work on it!
Hi question ! I just made a bubble candle mold and when i took it would when it dried the bubble candle felt oily. Do you know what caused this ? Hoping for a response !
Hello, it could be because: 1) you used too much fragrance oil 2) you used a container wax rather than a pillar wax.
How to wick the mini bubble candle? How to prevent frosting and sinking hole?
Can you please tell how much temperature of the candel to melt and also for which temperature for putting fragrance and colour
It depends of the wax you are using temperature will differ from one to another
Hello, i make bubble candles for christmas but some of them have a thin white layer around, so that the color faded or bleached kind of. I think it‘s because i don‘t clean them enough. Usually i use very hot water, sometimes with soap but this didn‘t really help. When my molds are dry, you can see a really a small layer of white wax powder in the molds. What can i do? How do i clean them right? Some of my candles looking good and some really don‘t but only because of these white layers or they crumble a little bit off but only on the side. I pour my wax at 75-80 Celsius and i use rapeseed wax. Maybe you have some tips! Thank you!❤️
I used to apply vaseline inside my molds with a soft brush. As I recently buyed the silicon mold, I'll try to do the same! ;)
If using a soy pillar blend, how long should these candles burn? And how much wax should remain at the end? My candle has a nice flame and is burning inwardly like it should, but I'm about 3 hours in and a lot of the exterior candle still remains. I'm not sure if I have a big enough wick... I'm using a 24 ply flat braided wick and I have a bubble mold that's similar in size to yours in the video. The wick said it's meant for pillars with diameters 2-3 inches (my bubble mold is exactly 2 in) but I'm not sure if because this pillar wax is soy-based if it might need a bigger wick?
I would say you need a bigger wick. You want it to burn inward but not tunnel too much which sounds like it is what’s happening in your example.
It also depends if you are using fragrance and or colour.
Please throw some wick sizes please, wicking is the problem but just saying which wick you used in your is gonna help a lot of people a lot
How do you speed up the curing process? And also do you still poke a hole for the other wick?
You can’t speed up the curing process. Once your mold is pierced you do not need to poke it anymore but use a needle next time to pass the wick to avoid the mold getting too big
@@GlowedCandles Ok thank you so much!
How long would u recommend letting the wax set for before you take it out of the mold x
Hello, I recommend 8hours.
@@GlowedCandles thank you very much :) i love your videos x
Hii i have few questions. Can i use beeswax to make bubble candle. Will that work well? I actually liked the thought to make bubble candle with beeswax as it cleans the air when burned. Lil help pls.
Hello, I have never used beeswax before so not sure if it is the appropriate consistance for moulds. You need a wax that hardens enough to demould properly.
I'm inspired from you n i want to start my candles business but I'm confused about these things
1. Which color is good for candles?
2. Essential oil or fragrance oil which is good n which is more profitable?
3. Which wicks is good wooden or normal n why double wicks used in candles?
Thank you❤
Thank you 😊
I use neither in my candles so I can’t help on this one. My pillar candles are all unscented and with no colours.
Thank you for this video... The one only missing is the thing the information I was after. What wick size do you use? I tried looking for that wick in metres... Can you please include the link?
www.4candles.co.uk/candle-making-wick/raw-unwaxed.html
What temperature you have to pour the wax in the mold ?
Hello, it depends on your wax and whether you are using fragrance. But for me the cooler the better so under 60 degrees
Loved this video!
I tried making a few with soy pillar wax but the bottom of the candle turned all rough and uneven when it solidified. Any idea what might be causing this?
My guess is that you are not using a wax suitable for pillar candles
czcams.com/video/48JcjPbA1Ms/video.html
@@GlowedCandles I specifically bought soy wax that was indicated for pillar candles at the website that I bought from. I guess something is wrong with their formula ://
Thanks for the answer tho!
What brand is it? Might be the wax quality
Just rub the bottom of candle on any plain hot surface and it will become flat.
What do I put it in when I burn the candle? Like something to catch the wax
A tray or a plate are good options
Hi there I love your video! New subscriber :)
Can you tell me where you got your raw wick from?
Hello! Thank you ☺️
I get my raw wick from 4candles (UK)
Do you need to use a new mould each time? (Sorry for asking a dumb question but I genuinely don’t know)
Hello, no you can re-use the mould.
@@GlowedCandles ok thanks
Hi! I made my first bubble candle but there are white frosting on the grooves. How do I fix that? It’s noticeable since I used a bright pink color.
Hello, it is likely to be down to your temperatures. Only testing will get you to the perfect combination.
Hello. , I really want to start making candles on my own. I have one concern though. Does the wax smell intense?
Hello, it’s hard to answer as it does depend on the wax you choose.
Is there any requirement to spray / grease 1st the mould n then pour the wax...??? If yes then which oil we have to spray???
Do not spray grease! You need a 100% silicone spray. Spray the moulds directly prior to pouring.
Could you tell what size wick you used? What is the burning time?
Usually tcr 27 but Eco do work well too. +/- 10h or 5h on a power burn
The silicone is just for once or I can use it again? After I wash it first
You can reuse the mould many times.
Can u pls tell me What is an ideal pouring temperature for paraffin candles?
I don’t use paraffin so unfortunately I won’t be able to help 😕
Hey, can you tell me that if I make a scented candle but it’s not very perfect and I feel like remaking it, can I do that ? Considering it has some scent and it’ll be heated again :/
If you are using it as a test candle to potentially sell them, then no. Re-melting it will burn off the fragrance and your test will be useless. If it is for your personal use, I guess it is ok but I would rather use the wax in a melter and repurpose the candle wax as wax melts.
@@GlowedCandles okay thanks :)
When removing from the mold and there are some candles stuck to the mold, the surface of the candle is not smooth, do you have any advice?
Three potential issues:
1) You are not using the correct wax type, by the sound of it it is too soft for pillar candle.
2) if you are using pillar wax maybe your temperatures are off.
3) your molds need cleaning
do we have to lubricate the candle mould with oil or something?
No, you need to use the right wax. A wax to make pillar candles.
Can we use paraffin wax for this candle
I have the same mold but mine is scented and candle dyed when i take it out it has soft parts to it im gonna try and wait for 12 hr too than ill check out how it comes out i love ur videos
Thank you
Any tips for nail nics from de-moulding?
Ah.. I personally gave up on long nails and always have mine really short.
do you heat the mold with a heat gun before pouring the wax?
I don’t but you can
Hi, thank you so much for the video!! It is very helpful! I keep getting ''frost'' on my top most bubbles. A very thin layer. I'm using paraffin wax with dye.
I have never used paraffin so I won't be able to provide advice, in my experience, frosting is due to temperatures.
What size wick did you use?
She never responded ah? Of course she’s not gonna respond a very important question … they don’t wanna help they wanna show off they candles that’s it
what temp should he wax be when u pour it into the mould?
Hello, it depends on your wax and whether you use fragrance and dye but my best advice is always as low as you can
@@GlowedCandles thank you so much
How to making many other colour shade candle ??plz tell
I am not sure i understand what you mean… but to achieve different colours you need to use specific wax dyes.
Hello. What kind of wax did you use? You did not mention what kind of pillar wax it is.
Hello, I use Kerasoy Pillar Blend
How do you make it with a pre-made glue stick thingy?
You do not need a wick sticker for pillar candles.
hi when I hold the candle I find that it get oily on my hands, is it because I’ve added too much fragrance oil?
Hello, yes it could be. What fragrance oil load are you using? What wax?
@@GlowedCandles I used 150g of kerasoy pillar wax and 10ml of fragrance (6%)
Right, this shouldn’t be too much. Is it still oiling after a few days of curing? Might be a oil blending consequence. Did you blend for 3 min? What temperature did you add the oil?
@@GlowedCandles hi, I took it out of the mould after a day it might be because of that. I added my fragrance at 75°C
Ah that might your temperature then, kerasoy recommends adding the fragrance just above pouring temperature so 55 - 65. Try adding your fragrance around 60 degrees.
Everytime i pour wax in mould, it gets fluffy and all ruined and start coming out of the mould on its own. I dont understand what did i do wrong? I boiled the wax till 85 degree celsius and poured it at 65 degree celsius. Pls help!
When I demold the candle there are small bubbles on the top...how to fix those bubbles..kindly plz reply
what type of wax are you using? Is it paraffin?
Bubbles are down to temperature and mould complexity. If you pour too cold bubbles tend to get trapped. I recommend tapping gently from the outside of the mould
can you still use the mold again and again?
Yes you can 😊
How much ever i try my candle is full of air bubbles what to do 😫??
Hi, I'm getting small air bubbles on the whole candle. Do you know why this happens and how I can fix it?
It is possible that you are stirring your wax too much or that you are pouring the wax too cold or in a cold room
@@GlowedCandles Okay thank you
Hello,nice candle ,can you tell me which kind of soy wax you use?
Hello, I use Kerasoy pillar blend
Mam ,can you teach me how to make candles .i love it very much....
Hi! Thank you for sharing! I have a question regarding the % of fragrance oil to put into sculptures candles. As I have ppl saying that the % of f.o can be much lesser becos is for déco purposes as compared to vessels candles. What is your opinion on this becos I'm worried that they find the throw is too low to be a deco candles. At the same time, becos the wax can't be fully melted like a container candles, there isn't a point to put such high %of f.o. Just curious on your opinion becos you're selling diff kinds! Tqvm!
Hello, I make all my decorative candles unscented so I am not the best person to help. Most people don’t burn my candle so the HT is irrelevant
You guide me proper way to make bubble candel ,how ever I purchase the silicon mold last weak ,thank,s 🙏🌹👍 love from india 🙏🌹👍
I been trying to make onw like this and I keep getting air bu bubble what can I so to prevent that
What temperature are you pouring at?
In my experience air bubbles come from too much stirring and pouring your wax too cool in the molds
Can we use soy wax flakes and stearic acid to make bubble Candles ?
I have never tried. Let me know how it goes if you try
I mare this bubble candle but it is burning hardly for 1 or two min . how to solve this problem
Use the correct wax and test different wicks
What the best temperature to pour the soy wax ?? 🙍🏻♀️
Hey! It depends if the brand of the wax. Each wax are different but in my experience the lower the better!
I often have the problem that the siliconmold is breaking where the wick goes through.. Also the wax leaks through aswell. I am using a needle everytime i pull a wick through.. what should i do?
You can try blue tack, it works for me.
Moulds won’t last forever especially the bubble one they are not made to make candles initially
@@GlowedCandles Ill try that, thanks!
hello
what type of wax did you use with this mold
You need to use a wax specific for pillar candles. I personally use Kerasoy Pillar Blend or Ecosoya Pillar
Hi! Can someone tell me how to clean properly the silicone mold before and after I use it?
Thank you!
Hello, I have a full video on this 😊

@@GlowedCandles Thank you so much! I will try it. 😀
And, I have one more question: Why every final product that I make is full with small little air bubbles?
Although, it looks interesting I don’t want every candle to look like this.
Thank You!
Hi!! I’ve made a ombré bubble candle and both colors have a greasy coat above the real colors. What happened? How can I fix that?
