Great tip about putting the candle in the freezer! Always wondered how to get them out clean from the glass!
It actually worked so well! I was very afraid it would stick and I would cut myself
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. It was wonderful work, and your passion is so contagious ❤.
I like your coordination a lot. I use scented candles a lot, buy the leftover issues to add to the filling of my crocheted toys and items for my students, and to tge children in the women's shelters. I give them all away.
I tried it ones, and tge toy I made was just a simple colorful ball as a Christmas ornament, but tge child I made it for, is learning challenged, so he gets frustrated, whenever that happens, he grabs the ball I made him, squeezing it in his hand to relax and tge warmth from his skin, release the scent stronger, he even puts it in his bed with him. So I started making different items, with whatever leftovers i had, it's been years, and people love it. It makes me feel great. When I give them away, the first thing people do is smell them and smile.
I'm going to use your method to make a few more candles for myself or give away. There are still a lot of leftovers in my cabinet. ❤
Happy New Year, dear.

Thank you so much Jen! I couldn't believe how easy it was or how much money I was able to save!
What a great idea for reusing old candles. I've made candles using old thrift store teacups. Definitely going to start keeping my candle remnants. 😊
Thanks so much for checking it out! I think the teacup candles are adorable and I bet it would be so easy to make with old wax
Thank you so much for your video. It helped me out a lot.
I'm thrilled it was helpful ☺️ thanks so much for checking it out.
This is flipping awesome! Thank you for sharing. I’ve got many candles I could reuse this way. ✨
YAY I am so glad you like it!!!
We loved your video! Great idea to reuse old candles! 🙂
Thanks so much! 😊
Jacque, I have a few candles that I really enjoyed and did not want to waste the unused wax. Thanks for the video and useful information.
I have a suggestion to speed up the wax melting. Preheating the candles in warm water should keep the glass from breaking. Use a second pan with warm water to start bringing the temperature up, then move the candles to the hot water. Thanks again for the video! Best of luck!
That is a wonderful idea to preheat the candles!! Thanks so much for sharing it with me and for checking out the video. I hope you have an amazing weekend
Hi Jacque, Hope all is well. Love your recycle DIY candles.
Thank you! 😊 I hope you are doing wonderful too Annie

Wow Jackie, lots of candles , I sometimes melt wax too and add essentials oil , I have an oil I add its called Leather and Tabbaco.. very nice job on the candles 👍🏼💜

That is so sweet of you Kate thanks so much 😊
wow!! thanks for sharing!! great finish look!! only $5 amazing!! work thanks for the tips i learned something today!! :) bye!! long time noo seee!! miss your bubble personality 💛
Yay! Thank you!
I love this! I need to buy me some wicks so I can try this! Those candle jars with the lids are great for cute storage! I just to scrape the remaining wax out and put it in my wax warmer. Then the jars get used for q-tips and other toiletries. But I love the idea of making new candles!
OMG wicks are actually so inexpensive on amazon! I have oodles left over because of other projects. thanks so much for checking it out Brandi!
@@mymagicalhome oh that’s good to know! I’ll look into it!
Hey Jacque! Such a great idea! When I worked in a local boutique, we would have a candle burning all day and I learned if you let the candle burn long enough for the entire top layer to melt it burns evenly all the way down! So now I leave my candles lit for several hours before blowing them out! Thanks for sharing your experience!😊💞✨
yes! you definitely have to let the candle melt long enough or you are asking for it to burn funny. thanks so much for checking this out
thing is, I learned this too. Some candles just won't do that.. They'll tunnel regardless, either because they'd needed a second wick for the amount of wax, or because of quality.
@nikedoesthings ❤️thanks for the tip
Hi friend! Here watching 🥰
Hello 😊
Definitely I will use the methods you teach in your video😍 I have so many left over candle waxs which I really love to reuse them till last drop of them🤭😍 Thank you for your energy and tips in this video ❣️
Thank you so much for checking it out. I hope your candle making was a fun success 💗

Soo blessed candles kill germs I think blessings ✨
Thank you so much and I agree about the germs. I hope you are having a nice weekend
Such a great and easy idea, thanks for sharing! What is the song in the background?
Im so glad you liked it.
No problem 😊 I won't lie it's been a couple days I would have to go back and rewatch it but I can do that later this evening for you.
@@mymagicalhome lol yes I realize that it's an older video of yours, I'm sorry, but thank you much! Have a great evening

Can essential oils be added as they melt or at the end?
Yes you should be able to add essential oils when I added the scent right before pouring 🫗
How do you get the circle in the middle of the stick
The kit I bought and linked came with them that way. I imagine you could use a dremel.
should i use a heat gun to melt the wax?
At which part? If you mean in general I wouldn't I imagine it would take too long to melt and might affect the glass jar.
where did you get the candle pot for a loose waxes?
I got it on amazon. It should be linked in the description 💗💗
@@mymagicalhome Just FYI. The links you refer to are not found in description. the candle pot and the kit with sticks/holes.🤥
@wintercame I apologize, I will fix that promptly. Thank you for letting me know.
How long to boil the water
It is more about getting the wax to the right temp. than a time for it to boil. Generally speaking you want it to be 180-185F for soy and paraffin wax 200-205ºF for palm wax before you add your fragrance. If you want it to be unscented or if it already had a scent you want to bring your wax to 120 - 165 degrees before you pour them into the jars. I believe I poured closer to the higher number. Thank you for checking out the video! I hope you are having a nice day.
Anyone know what song this is in the intro? Kind of felt that one in the soul😱
I will see if I can figure it out
It's called
In Our Hands by Ten Towers
Thank you😊
