Love this video. Glad you recorded on your first try, so now I’m confident it shouldn’t be too hard my first time.
You’ve got this! 👏🏼
These are beautiful. I think they are perfect for a decorative candle that you don’t burn. What makes me nervous about actually burning them is that there are way too many flowers in there. Especially the big petals that you put in there. I would try breaking the petals into very small flakes and just organizing them around the top of the candle very sparingly. Also I would take the crystals out before burning, because they will just make big sinkholes in to your candle. For a proper burn test for candles you need to burn them from beginning to end.
The fact that this wasn’t a legitimate burn test can and will confuse people, because this is really not safe, and extremely dangerous! Please people look up dos and don’ts when adding other objects into your candles and research containers and wicks!
Love the idea of soaking the wooden wicks in essential oils🙌🏼🙌🏼☺️thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed!
Beautiful candles! 💜
Gorgeous candles. Great job and thank you for sharing!
Absolutely, my pleasure!!!! 🤍
These are beautiful, gonna try this!
I love really like candles . Also diys and be creative. Thanks for your video
I just love your honesty❤😊
Omg I absolutely LOVE this video SO MUCH. The editing, the candle result 😍, & music! Thanks for showing the screenshots in the video of your Amazon order. I just started growing roses and flowers in my garden & wanted to make candles with the pedals that fall off! But I love the packet u bought of dried flowers so will def do both 😍
Oh my goodness!!!!! Thank you so so much! So glad you enjoyed! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dried flowers are FLAMABL
Beautiful!! I love these!. The best thing about it was that you didn’t know how to at all. Such motivation. Thank you 😊 I’m definitely inspired
Amazing I love your courage and bravery to make this video and share with the world!
Awe thank you!!
Watching now and getting Christmas gift ideas!! Thank you so much for posting this and for including all footage of your attempts! All the other videos I could find were like professional candle makers with all the professional equipment I don’t have and don’t want to buy.. so thank you! Making these for all my friends this year
Omgsh no these are amazing I still make them often! I recycle store bought candle jars and just fill them myself. They’re great gifts and they last longer too!! Just make sure you put the dried flower far from the wick. Have fun!!
Everything about this is beautiful, soothing, and easy to understand. Thank you!
Thank you! And no problem love!
Agreed I was so proud of her and excite with her when they were burning ! Lol they’re Beautiful!! Loved the journey !
I was worried the flowers might start burning, but they didn’t. You did a great job for not doing this before. I’m getting ready to start making candles, I have a few more supplies to get. I think those would be cute for your mother or your mother friends
I can’t wait to try this!! Thank you
Beautiful love them

Great job!
Imma try it love it
Let me know how it goes! Make sure to put the dried flowers far from the wick!
Who needs to ever buy candles after watching this video 😍😍
I love you B thank you!
Loveit ,You go! queen1
Omg can’t wait to try and make these. Let’s try beeswax too 🥰
Absolutely!!!! I want to make candles in random thrifted things too. Thanks for watching!
Yayyyyy Thank you!
new fan )) I am loving what I am seeing. are those safe? I am actually looking for ideas to start my own DIY something business, this is my favorite idea so far xx
Just make sure you keep the dried flower FAR from the wick!!! Otherwise you’re good xx
You should get a pirex glass measuring cup with 4-6 cups, the big one, to melt the beeswax, it's way easier to take out and carry and it has a spout. You're welcome! 😉
Haha! I think I tried something similar to this the last time I tried it! I am progressing my methods! 😄
You did a good job
Thanks love! ❤️
I'm a very nervous person when it comes to making my own stuff but this inspired me so much. Do you remember how long it to took them to burn completely out ?
Awe awesome! They burned for awhile. I have no idea hour wise but they lasted 💕
@@AmiraMichelleMiller thank you soo much
Thank you so much!!! Will the flowers burn? Can they stay in wax while burning?? Love, love, love this whole video!! Making my first tomorrow!! ❤
The flowers will burn! So make sure to keep them far from the wick- but you can def keep them in the candles :) let me know how it turns out!
I will!! Thank you so much!! xo
Thank you for your video
No problem, enjoy!
Thank you!!
Ah glad you liked it!
Hi! So my question is how is end up those candles burn even? Which is they burn all the way from the bottom to the top? Please let me know, because I am starting to do my candles, and I have the same soy wax like you and same herbs.
Aw cute thank you
Thank you 🙏🏽
These are stunning! Would you please tell us the measurements again - you mentioned half a bag of candle wax for one candle mug, but it looks like half of the bag filled three mugs - or was it just one? Also, how much essential oil and was it really fragrant? Really beautiful candles!! Thank you.
Thank you so much Peggy! It was definitely more wax than expected. 1/2 a bag filled one mug. I didn’t film me repeatedly heating up more wax. I used 1/2 a bottle of essential oil which is way more than recommended but it made it nice and fragrant ☺️ also make sure that the dried flowers aren’t close to the wick! Thanks for watching!
Love your style. What editing program do you use??
Thank you! Literally just iMovie 😂
Great video! Quick question, when burning the candle how do you avoid burning the leaves and flowers on top? When i light my candle the burning smell of the leaves/flowers over shadows the wonderful smelling candle.
Definitely make sure all the dried flower/leaves are far from the wick!!!!!
@@AmiraMichelleMiller okay thank you ❤️❤️
They look Amazing. Do you have the link for the Amazon items
I don’t at the moment, but let me link them and I’ll update you!!
They look nice, however, I was told to never have anything near the wick or sticking out of the candle or it will catch fire.
These are amazing!!! Does the dry flower burn?
Same question ?... Does it burn ?
How to manage
They look amazing. Do you have the link for the dried flowers and wicks from anXkny

❤️✨
How did you edit this video? Did you use and app or do I just not know how to 🥺💜
Thank you hunny! Lots of CZcams tutorials on making “free aesthetic CZcams videos”. Everything I did was free!
Thanks for the instructions but I think you don’t even need to waste money! With soy wax, literally just cotton cord (you can wax it yourself in the melted wax) and essential oils you can do that! Also you can use a cup to melt everything and place it on the bottles. Also to put the dried flowers inside you can go putting “layers” over the flowers instead of fckin up a pen! Anyways they turned out super beautiful. Hope this helps youuuu❤️
the flowers won't catch on fire?
They will! Read the description and make sure the flowers are far from the wick! Xx
Where do you get your crystals ? Yours are beautiful ✨💎💜
Thank you 🥰 the large ones are from a local crystal shop and the small ones are from Amazon
@@AmiraMichelleMiller thank you and what about your herbs ? I ordered some and have had bad experiences 🥴💜
Can I put essential oil on the stick & in the wax for more scent 🤔
Yes you can :)
Where the dried flowers were so close, did any of them burn?
Yes please read instructions in bio and make sure the dried flowers are far from the wick
Where’d you get the crystals from?
The bigger ones are from a crystal shop- the tiny ones from Amazon :)
Do your crystals ever move and does it put your candle out ?
No they’re pretty stuck in their place ☺️ and the wick is super sturdy!
Create 300 PCs of different scented for personal soul! Want pure and clean strong but conservative
how much oil did you use? I have 15ML do i pour all?
how long did you cure it?
I wish she would of posted the link to the dried flowers that she bought it looked like a good bunch for a good price
Sorry I screen shot it in the intro! Here’s the link tho :)

@@AmiraMichelleMiller thanks so much for responding!🙂
@@yazminedominguez9253 yesssss!! ❤️❤️
I’m sure u r better now
These are a fire hazard. There’s a reason why big candle companies do not do this.
There are a lot of big candle companies that do crystal candles. Just make sure the dried flowers are far from the wick.
Hi, it is not dangerous to put essential oil and burn it ?
Not at all! Just keep the dried flower far from the wick (that’s the most dangerous thing about it).
@@AmiraMichelleMiller thanks 😊😊😊 and what essential oil can i use ? 😊😊😊😊
What kind of candles do you use and do you mix anything with them
This song ???
❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😂😂🎉🎉
hello is safe to lit the candle while the dry flowers on top the candles.and can you able to put small crystal on top of the candles?
Keep everything as from from the wick as possible ‼️
Keep flame under pot
Pour wax out of the pot, that y they said pour pot
Darn my wood wicks wouldn’t stay lit long. Or if I was to re light it. It died out
Did you try holding the lighter on it for awhile? I ran into that problem too, I just had to light it for an extra long time
Separate Ure wicks
Y Ure wax is not clear
non of this looks safe as a formulator i would never just EYE ball anything especially candles smh
Lol not sure what I said I eyeballed- the essential oil? Everything else (wax + wick) directions were followed
are you the expert
why you watching this then
The temperature is what she's talking about.
In order for the fragrance to bind to the wax you need an exact temp. We all start somewhere! It's OK, you did pretty amazing for a first try.
These are dangerous…please dont make these. These jars arent made for candles, you should never have anything in the jar that can catch fire other than the wick, and the wicks are way too long. Please be careful.
Hmm. I’ve made over 20 of them and have never had a problem. esp with the wicks. The only thing that can be dangerous is the dried flower catching on fire why it’s stated that it needs to be far from the wick. Regardless, thanks for the input!
Pretty but fire danger. Professional US candle makers would NEVER do this. Unless only decorative, not for burning.
A lot if people burn these kinds of candles what are you talking about? With any candle you need to watch when they burn
Just keep the herbs and plants away from the wick you'll be fine
OMG what a mess! Dangerous fire hazard!
Why crystals? That makes me sad to see how senseless they are used.
You keep them after…. They don’t burn. Just use hot water to get the wax off
They don't burn you keep them after
So cute! Thank you for sharing:)
