lemonjelly Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hi, If I brought 100 cheap vanilla tealights from a supermaket and took the wax out of the mould, could I reuse the moulds? Or wax(as vanilla wax)? Or the wick? Would it be a good investment?Thanks in Advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tereasa Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 no, it would not be a good investment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chauntelle Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Out of the kindness of my heart the best advice i could give you is to see if an auntie or someone who is old enough to be able to help you with the tricky bits but like a friend could maybe help you find a kit from somewhere like hobby craft and have fun making some together, It will give you a moulds wax wicks and sterine. You can use the mould again and again if you look after it!! scents arent always what makes a candle nice, unscented ones can be just as pretty and if you are just starting its easier without.I know how you feel, i was mad about candles at your age too but it really is something that should be done carefully and safely. Why not find an adult who could help you with a kit and see if you like it, i know alot of people who started their hobby with a kit and added bits from there. And some of them who thought they would love it ditched it after a few attempts!!Good luck and be safe with what you do:wink2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chauntelle Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 forgot that you get colouring dyes in the kits also (in response to your other thread!!)I think they are about £12.00 a kit upwards ,maybe check out the hobbycraft web site? Where in the uk do you live?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everito Bandito Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 One thing's for certain LemonJelly, you don't give up easy. I'm pulling for you and I think some others on this board are too. Hopefully you will be able to post a pic or two of some of your first candles when you get them done. I have no doubt in my mind that you will get some done.Keep asking questions and doing what you're doing. With the desire that you seem to have to succeed, I can't imagine that you will do anything else but succeed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hi, If I brought 100 cheap vanilla tealights from a supermaket and took the wax out of the mould, could I reuse the moulds? Or wax(as vanilla wax)? Or the wick? Would it be a good investment?Thanks in Advance!Why are you wanting to do this? How much are the t-lites. I have heard of others that have and thought of doing this myself. Sometimes they are so cheap. Read where they were bought melted other wax added, maybe soy, to the cheapo wax and re-poured with the same wick and container. Made for a much better t-lite. Then you would package in smaller amounts, sell for enough to pay for the extra wax and of course your time. Hope it works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
