pilyblue Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I'm going to make some baby bottle candles for my daughter's friend baby shower, I have to questions (sorry I try the "search" couln't find anything)First what is the best size wick, I ask the company where I order the mold they only say "we recoment the square wick" I'm thinking about ordering size 2 and size 1, do you recomend any other size to try? Also what is your favorite baby scent, I normaly order from Peacks, they only have "baby powder" I read it's very good, I was thinking maybe lavender to have two scents to test and see how it goes, the candles are going to be pink. This are the first candles I'm going to give to any one, other than my daughter, after reading here all this time (since I started here) I feel presure to be very sure the candles are going to be safe even if they will probably won't burn them. Thank you for any help you can give me.Zonia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shine Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I've tried several different baby powder scents and the truest I've found was from Pourette. I just love the scent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firegirl Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I just tried Baby Fresh from Craft Lobby.. it is wonderful! Very clean, but not like Baby Powder. Just a clean baby smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Wicking ... base the size on the widest point of the candle and test a size up and a size down to see what might work the best. Personally, the 2 square braid may be too big, but I don't know the size of your mold. Finding the right wick can be a pain, but most of your suppliers should and probably do (well mine do) list recommendations uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgia Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I use 1/0 square braid in most of my 3" pillars, if that gives you a help.http://www.wicksunlimited.com/atkins_pearce_square_braided_wicks.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilyblue Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hi: I got the mold and it measures a little more than 2" I'm going to order the #2/0, 1/0 and 1. Thank you for the help and wish me luck Zonia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
