Thanks guys; oh yeah good point Chris. I will try that too.

Thanks for the help & tips y'all.

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.

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

Yes Hobby lobby sells Candlewic's palm wax and it was like $9.99 a pound or something like that.

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.

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

Thanks so much.

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:

Side Note: I have had some of the Footed Square jars before and know where to get them.

Thanks everyone so much; I can't wait to do more.

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

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.

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.

I just wanted to share some of the candles I made; 1st time posting. Comments and criticisms welcomed.
