larrycat Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I've never done this before, so here goes....a few pics of some of the candles I recently made. Also, a silicone mold I made of a carrot muffin.This muffin is the first pour. Of course, now I'm coloring them and have used apple spice FO!! Smells great. Gave a few to my daughter-in-law and friends. They loved them. I also made the silicone mold for the tarts.Feel free to comment, good or BAD! And...thanks for viewing! :highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Che65 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 The first impression is important! I'm a picky buyer. If, the scent has a ct, I'll definitely purchase. They look great. Che65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandlekrazy Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 You're making your own molds? Plus you make great candles!! Talented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I have to ask. Did you use a real muffin to make that mold. Love it. It looks so real, you'll have to put a warning on the candles that they are not eatable. LOL Your candles look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella1952 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 What a GREAT start you have made in candlemaking! Most folks would never have attempted to make their own mold at this point in the game! Good for you!! One little muffin is a small sacrifice... Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
