  1. i'm not sure...but it seems like everyone has their own opinion when it comes to what is considered natural. you can use body safe fragrance oils and i have used dye chips made from soy wax. but i consider my candles and tarts natural
  2. wow...i would never pour wax down the drain. i wash out my tart warmer and containers but if there are any chunks of wax i throw them in the trash
  3. thanks for the help! I managed to make it to Home Depot between snow storms and they had the Roebic Crystal Drain Opener...so i got a container of it. and now im back at home and its a pretty massive blizzard outside so im going have my first attepmt at making cold process soap!
  4. wow i absolutely love the colors!!!
  5. I reuse containers for myself. I also will fill other people's containers...I clean them out and fill them with soy wax candles and i charge them for the wax and the fragrance...it ends up being a really low price to have a candle refilled.
  6. maybe you could try a white crayon. I have used crayons to dye my candles and tarts before....i have heard they can clog the wicks but personally i havent had any problems
  7. You could use brown dye. You could melt a small batch of wax and dye it white and cut it up into small pieces and sprinkle them on the top of the mug as the wax is hardening
  8. there isnt a lowes thats close to me. i'm going to check the Home Depot thats by me tomorrow to check and if i cant find any i will probably go ahead and order some
  9. thanks for the website! It has good prices but im trying to avoid shipping charges that why im trying to find out if its at home depot
  10. cool...thanks....so are they brands carried at Home Depot stores?
  11. i keep reading that you can get lye in grocery stores called red devil lye but no where around me has it...they all have some liquid red devil stuff that does not contain lye. Someone just told me that lowes has lye in the plumbing section but there is not a lowes that close to where i live. So does anyone know if Home Depot would have lye? Thanks. I have been reading up on cold process soap for a few weeks and i have all the ingredients...just no lye...yet. thanks
  12. i got the loaf pans from michaels and i use two wicks in mine
