I'd love to pop over to Philly for a visit and show you how Jaye, however, until I've saved up for the fare you shall have to be content with this message. I've found if I pop my moulds into a milk carton cut down to size it makes it easier to turn the mould when I want to change the angle of the layer. If I don't do this, I end up with a messy candle too. BTW, I do have my fair share of failures too.
Hi all, The first two are scented Honeysuckle (red candle) and Baby Powder (blue candle). The second one (burgundy), which was my first attempt at a rustic, is scented Clean Cotton. Thanks for looking, Cheers,
Hi Lisa, I just use plain old paraffin wax with stearine added. I tidy up any overpour wax which covers the embedded shape with a sharp blade after it's out of the mould and then carefully use my heat gun to round off any untidy edges. It gets easier the more you do.
