  1. Thanks guys; oh yeah good point Chris. I will try that too.
  2. I made some layered candles using two jars and I was thinking I had enough wax for both jars, but only had enough wax to fill just one full jar. The other jar was not full at al and I wanted to know how much wax should I use/use per layer to fill the jar.
  3. I decided to try my hand and layered candle making and here is the result; comments and criticism welcomed. Supplies used: The Candlemaker's Store: Ecosoya Advanced Wax Caribbean Escape Type Scent 9 oz. Hex Jar
  4. Yes Hobby lobby sells Candlewic's palm wax and it was like $9.99 a pound or something like that.
  5. Thanks for likin' y'all; I use the CD wicks. They do pretty good for the most part and in the vibe jars as well; they do not trap lot of soot at he top. Now I have found that when I burn again after the 1st burn and do not trim the wick they will soot a little; as fat as the wax goes Hobby Lolbby sells the Candle Wic company's palm wax. The other curvy glasses I got at Michaels; I have not see that jar before either too.
  6. I decided to try palm wax; comments and criticism welcomed. P.S. Some of the wicks are not centered; my bad on that. Materials used: Wax: Hobby Lobby Palm Wax Scents: NG's Thierry Muggler Angel Type Fragrance NG's Crystal Blue Waters
  7. I love the Anchor Jars, but I do not know where to find a lot of them and if I am not mistaken you can't purchase from the Anchor Hocking site unless you have a company. Does anyone know where I can find some of pof their jars like the Acroprolis jar seen here: http://www.anchorhocking.com/pdf/Specialty%20Catalog_Mid%20Year%20Update.pdf Side Note: I have had some of the Footed Square jars before and know where to get them.
  8. Thanks everyone so much; I can't wait to do more.
  9. Well I decided to try my hand and melt and pour soap making; I found the process not to be hard. Some of my soap have spots that were not colored; apparently I did not stir it enough. I know I need to work on it; comments and criticisms are welcomed. Scent: Nature's Garden Downy Cool Breeze Type
  10. Thanks everyone. Well for right now I use a few containers; if/when I sell I do not plan on using all of these containers. The reason I had so many containers is because I got a of sample containers free and bought some that I like before I really started making candles because I wanted to have a variety of containers. My mother called me the "queen of jars"; lol!!!!!!!!!! Now I have narrowed it down to a few.
  11. Thanks dnj; I use GB 464 soy wax and I use stickers that I get from Hobby Lobby to put on some of my jars. Thanks for the advice on the wicks; I will try not to space them so far apart.
  12. I just wanted to share some of the candles I made; 1st time posting. Comments and criticisms welcomed. Scents Used: 1st Pic: Georgia Sunrise from Natures Garden Fresh Linen from Natures Garden April Showers (don't know what company makes it; selected it in my very 1st candle kit I purchased from Ebay) 2nd Pic: Seaside Cotton from Natures Garden 3rd Pic: Forever Sunshine from The Candle Makers Store 4th Pic: Bubble Gum from Natures Garden
  13. I have not made anything with this scent yet, but I like do have it and like it. I got this scent and another new one not to long after the put it out.
