These are beautiful. I think they are perfect for a decorative candle that you don’t burn. What makes me nervous about actually burning them is that there are way too many flowers in there. Especially the big petals that you put in there. I would try breaking the petals into very small flakes and just organizing them around the top of the candle very sparingly. Also I would take the crystals out before burning, because they will just make big sinkholes in to your candle. For a proper burn test for candles you need to burn them from beginning to end. The fact that this wasn’t a legitimate burn test can and will confuse people, because this is really not safe, and extremely dangerous! Please people look up dos and don’ts when adding other objects into your candles and research containers and wicks!

Thank you so much Peggy! It was definitely more wax than expected. 1/2 a bag filled one mug. I didn’t film me repeatedly heating up more wax. I used 1/2 a bottle of essential oil which is way more than recommended but it made it nice and fragrant ☺️ also make sure that the dried flowers aren’t close to the wick! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the instructions but I think you don’t even need to waste money! With soy wax, literally just cotton cord (you can wax it yourself in the melted wax) and essential oils you can do that! Also you can use a cup to melt everything and place it on the bottles. Also to put the dried flowers inside you can go putting “layers” over the flowers instead of fckin up a pen! Anyways they turned out super beautiful. Hope this helps youuuu❤️

These are dangerous…please dont make these. These jars arent made for candles, you should never have anything in the jar that can catch fire other than the wick, and the wicks are way too long. Please be careful.

@AmiraMichelleMiller 2 жыл бұрын

Hmm. I’ve made over 20 of them and have never had a problem. esp with the wicks. The only thing that can be dangerous is the dried flower catching on fire why it’s stated that it needs to be far from the wick. Regardless, thanks for the input!
