Soap Queen TV: Holiday Travel Candle Part 1

Anne-Marie had so much to share with you on how to make candles that we broke this episode up into 2 parts. This is part one.

In this the final episode of our 2009 Holiday Series, Anne-Marie demonstrates how to make a candle in a cute little travel tin. This episode is just packed full of great candlemaking information, from how to use liquid and solid candle dyes, to troubleshooting common problems. And as if that wasn't enough she is providing a link to the label template she used in the video. http://www.brambleberry.com/assets/Pdfs/CandleLabels.pdf

do you have to add the smells????????????????

[soapqueentv]

@pinklover131998 Absolutely not, that's the great thing about making your own stuff. If you don't want to add fragrance - you don't have to!

Where do you get the liquid candle wax? On Brambleberry I only found wax colorants for the candles

[soapqueentv]

@WonderWonkies We carry both solid and liquid candle dyes - but are transitioning to just the solid dyes. They are easier to use and less messy.

why cant we microwave the wax? i love ur website btw:)

[soapqueentv]

@letissnowNOW Wax gets really hot and can shatter or melt the container you use to heat it up in the microwave. So stainless steel pots are best.

[bernarya]

I'm in elementary and I understand and watch your vids ! They're cool

@EarlyBirdie82 It was safe to melt the massage candle in the microwave because I wasn't melting JUST the wax. The oils and butters were also included in the container which lowered the overall melting temperature. Just straight wax is hotter when it's melted and that can result in shattered containers in the microwave. Does that answer your question?

[EarlyBirdie82]

I'm kind of confused.... for the message candle, you melted it in the microwave, but here you said that you don't do that to melt wax?? Also, why does it have a higher pouring temperature?
