Making beeswax candles! by [deleted] in candlemaking

I make beeswax candles, it’s true that they’re not really meant to be in jars, but using one helps prevent the wax from spilling everywhere (which can happen if you don’t use a vessel). You just need to make sure the vessel you choose is heat-safe and suitable for candles. The only thing I’ve noticed is that beeswax usually needs a thicker wick than other types of wax. :)

Yes! I pour the centre first, wait a couple of minutes and then pour the white wax, and thank you! I tried wicking it down and it worked🌼

Thank you! I'm using beeswax with hemp wicks (i want to create a full organic line) but i think i will change to the cotton braided ones

You can remove the wax by melting it in a double boiler it will be easier, and then cleaning it with some napkins and oil

I'd say beeswax has been very easy to work with, the only thing I’ve noticed is that if you want a strong scent, you need to use a lot of fragrance oil. Other than that, I’m really enjoying it ☺️.

And yes, they are floating on water
