candlesbyMe Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Can you use the Plastic Ice Cube Trays to make these too? Do you also have to spray the inside with a "cooking spray" to make them release correctly? I thought about doing some for my kids Fall Festival Basket that I have to get done in the next 2 weeks and wanting something Different besides just 3 jar candles... I have a candle warmer to put in there that will also double as tart warmer on the top & want to put some tarts in the basket as well (afterall what good is the tart warmer part with out some tarts~LOL) Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Im going on a hope and prayer to get this stuff done .. wanted to put some B/B stuff but that is not working out.. I am only good at making the bath salts~lol.. so I am trying tomake up difference with other stuff. Thanks ~Jenni~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelleyBean Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I have used ice trays before for melts, worked just fine. And, buying from the dollar store is a cheap way to get them lol. I dont think I sprayed anything in them though, just set them in the freezer for a min or so and twisted just like you would ice and they come right out.

LOL.. and then he is the one that enjoys finding "fun" stuff for me to make a candle out of~LOL.. They tickle me! LOLI've got mine now to where he will help me somewhat. I started doing this before he left for a year tour in Korea for the military and did a lot of testing during that time since it was just me and my teen daughter for that year. Now he's working a weird schedule where he works a 24 hour shift then off for 3 days, so he'll find me in the work room and come in and I put him to work. He helps me set up, label, clean or whatever it is he sees I need to do, it's great when they are supportive AND involved lol Oh yeah, and he just hates helping me spend the money I make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesbyMe Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share Posted October 7, 2007 LOL~ true.. but boy we LOVE spending the money THEY make! LOL.. (or atleast I do~haha)actually mine doesn't ask or gripe about anything I spend as long as the bills are paid FIRST .. and he has gas money to get back and forth to work.. since he'd rather me make candles and stay sane than not make candles and B**ch all the time cuz I have nothing to funnel my frustration energy into when the kids and he drives me nuts~haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icecold Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I just made tarts for the first time this weekend in a silicone mini muffin pan. I just poured my leftover wax and after they were hardened, I just pushed them from under the pan and they just popped right out. Very easy! I use sot and sometimes soy tarts are hard to get out of molds because it is so soft, but this worked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
