  • @ForeverFalls243
    @ForeverFalls243 Před 9 lety +44

    You didn't blow it out at the end, they don't work. They don't stay lit. Rob from Man vs. Pin did this and they don't work. Don't lie to your fans and have them try to do all of this when it just doesn't work.

    • @SoCraftastic
      @SoCraftastic  Před 9 lety +11

      ForeverFalls243 Honestly I blew it out (or waved my hands) to get that footage. Promise. I did not lie. But, I also didn't further test the candle, because I wanted to keep it for decor. Trust me, when I knowingly fail at or mess up a project I let my viewers know. Hence the Pinterest Fail videos I have (& I document my mess-ups in various tutorials). :)

    • @ForeverFalls243
      @ForeverFalls243 Před 9 lety +1

      Alrighty well, I believe this doesn't work only for the fact that the waxes are different types. Don't get me wrong I love you and your channel I was just making sure everyone wasn't misinformed.

    • @destinee9212
      @destinee9212 Před 9 lety +9

      ForeverFalls243 Rob also didn't do them correctly and kept fucking them up, not to mention the fact that he didnt buy fresh wax, he just melted it from a candle.

    • @jryprn
      @jryprn Před 9 lety +4

      I think it's because she added wax to each individual crayon which helped with the melting and Rob didn't use enough wax but just used the wax itself from the candle? Wait, what? I'm not sure anymore! 😫

    • @kacaramel
      @kacaramel Před 9 lety +1

      beautbabe2000 It doesn't work none the less. The wax in the crayons is differen that's why the flame can't melt the crayon wax. You'd work better with food coloring

  • @jewishroyalty3270
    @jewishroyalty3270 Před 9 lety +4

    I saw another video of candle making and they said not to use crayons because it clogs up the wick and it'll stop burning. Do you find that that happens or does it burn just fine? Cause I wanna make some of these.

    • @jewishroyalty3270
      @jewishroyalty3270 Před 9 lety +1

      Probably the crayon because of the higher oil content. Wax burns slower

    • @asmi227
      @asmi227 Před 8 lety +3

      Yes any crayons would give the same results and you don't have to use whole crayon for such small amount of wax just a bit of crayon shaving would do.

    How come the paper cups not catching fire in the microwave?

    • @SoCraftastic
      @SoCraftastic  Před 10 lety +6

      Because, you can heat food on paper plates. :)

    • @PIERCED6966
      @PIERCED6966 Před 10 lety

      While this is true after a few minutes paper does tend to catch fire.

    • @DaveyTodd457
      @DaveyTodd457 Před 10 lety +4

      If paper catches fire in your microwave then I would get a new
      microwave!

    • @PIERCED6966
      @PIERCED6966 Před 10 lety

      dt LO It is only certain types of paper that will catch fire if heated long enough.
      Wax paper, parchment, cooking bags and paper plates are safe.
      However, when you have a stack of papers it is possible for them to ignite. Also, if the paper is crumpled into a tight ball it may ignite, whereas a loosely crumpled ball won't.
      I looked up the info after i asked the question.
      But thanx for replies

    • @kyliemarshsall70
      @kyliemarshsall70 Před 10 lety +1

      it works better if you use an old glass mason jar or glass cup because they help the wax to melt faster and you can clean them easily so you don't have to throw it away after you use it. just dont put it in cold water when you finish using it... the jar will crack... and pick it up with an oven mitt, it tends to get hot

  • @jdthomas3990
    @jdthomas3990 Před 9 lety +19

    Followed the instructions perfectly, but end result was my 8 year old daughter in tears ... I spent $40 to make 4 candles in 4 hours that looked nothing like your result. She and I were so disappointed as we followed video instructions to the "T". I'd advise do more research on wax temperature and incremental layering. Crayons are not meant to be used as candles as they melt at a different temperature this results in each layer melting into the previous layer. Finally, crayons burn much much faster ... so don't expect to burn a crayon candle as instructed in this video.
