So glad you added that heat disclaimer ⚠️!!!!! My dad almost lost 3 fingers from pouring hot liquid in a glass bowl that was not meant for heat and it shattered. This can be super dangerous and people need to be very careful what kind of glass they are pouring hot liquid into.

That "coffee with whipped cream" candle is so gorgeous it will be recreated all over KZfaq and Pinterest within the next two weeks😁

For small candles, such as votives, after you pour the wax let it begin to set & thicken, then add a birthday cake candle to the center of the candle- instant wick😊

When I was a kid we took a dry, cleaned out, cardboard milk cartoon, opened it all the way at the top, put a wick in the middle, filled it with crushed ice and then melted wax. When the wax hardened we peeled off the milk cartoon. This gave the candle a very cool "Swiss cheese" look! 😃

I make candles. Wicks are specifically sized (in thickness and material content) for the diameter of the jar. If you remove the wicks from a single tall jar and put it into a wider one, you'll get what is called "tunneling" when the wick burns. Meaning, you won't get a complete melted wax pool across the diameter of the candle. Instead, it will burn a hole straight down the center of the candle, creating a tunnel. The wick simply isn't fat enough to melt the wax across the entire diameter.

In high school art classes in the 60's we did some of these techniques. The whipped wax we used making Christmas candles frequently! It's great to see this art form resurrected!

I love how you videos show how to decorate on a budget without having the stuff look cheap. Thank you so much.❤️

When my daughter got married, she bought about 50 of the tall white candles… we painted the bottom of them (about 3 inches) in chalk paint coordinating with her colors - they looked amazing! Her reception venue was small (65 people) and had a huge mantle over the fireplace. We paired the candles with fake ivy on the tables (farmhouse style setup - a long table seating 24 or so - we had 3 of those) and across the mantle - so cozy and chic

BIG TIP: USUALLY when you pour hot wax into a container, when it cools off it gives a well in the middle. So save some of the wax to top it off.

Love these tips! Another fun way to customize when making a layered candle is to tilt the jar at an angle, pour the wax, and wait for it to harden. Then you can either pour the next layer right over it at the same angle, or change the angle of the jar to another direction (make sense?). Very unique and still inexpensive!!

Hey, I am an old guy. Yknow, don't like using maps, parts left over when I "fix" things, stuff like that. I normally do not watch many vids on stuff like this but I was really impressed with this. I ran and told my wife about it. Good work. With fire extinguisher near I am going to try a few of these ideas.

I love the coffee candles! They're so creative with piping the wax and using crayons for the other details.

These were fun. Showing some pumpkin type things I'm like "Bring on fall!!!" 😁 That red, white and blue candle looked so professional. I had no idea they are making so many different colored candles at Dollar Tree now. Yay! 💖💖💖

Excellent as always. My favorite home projects are the self-made candles. My wife keeps asking how I come up with these and I change the subject lol. Thank you again for a job well done.

This video helped me so much in kickstarting my candle making journey. Thank you for making and posting this! Very valuable stuff. You are right, every time I go to the dollar store I pick up pillar candles and new vessels. You rock for sure! ❤

That coffee candle is just the cutest thing ever!!

I've done this for years. You can also take candles that are half used up or not your favorite scent anymore and combine them to make a new unique scent!!

Long time no see! Great to see you here again 😊 Hope you're enjoying the Summer in FL and taking advantage of those beautiful beaches ❤️

My mother used to make large centerpiece wax candles in paper milk cartons. After they solidified she whipped some hot wax and iced the candles. They were absolutely beautiful. They made our Table settings gorgeous.

I just found this channel and I’m fascinated! When we were youngsters (back in the 70’s) my brother and I used to have a candle making kit and it was so fun! Thanks for a great video that brought back such good memories for me.

I'm always impressed with how creative you are! Love your ideas as always. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Omg the 4th of July candles!!!!! I’m sure you can add a scent to that too! I’m totally making some for the back yard! All of them are seriously amazing I’ve never seen anyone do this before

Love these candle hacks! The coffee ones are my fav!! ☕️ 😍👍

I have horrible anxiety and also have some other things going on that are keeping me from working an actual job and I am struggling extra hard today. I hate it. I feel totally useless. Watching this gave me some hope that I might have just found something inexpensive and easy to do that could make me a few dollars and doesn't look overwhelming, it looks fun and simple. I tried making jewelry but wasn't very good at it and I have been looking for something constructive I might be able to do. Thanks for sharing this, there are some great ideas here. I subscribed so I can check out more videos.

I absolutely love these! The coffee with "whipped cream" and the red, white and blue are my faves. Thanks for showing us how to do them

They're all so beautiful! My favorites are the red, white and blue and the coffee drink with the whipped cream. Wow! They all look like high end candles that cost much more than what they do. So creative Sarah Jane! Awesome job!!

And wear PPE while making these. Thank you for mentioning reading the labels. Absolutely stunning work. I’m definitely considering this, as I like to make gifts.

Thank you so much! I actually have been trying to come up with a nice wedding gift idea for a couple I know getting married next month & I believe what you showed us is actually very elegant to give as a wedding present. Also with the holidays coming up this is giving me even more ideas for holiday presents! ❤️🥀

The candle with the whipped cream is everything! It even has the swirl in the cup. So awesome! And I also love the the red , white and blue striped candle. You are the remix candle queen!!

Absolutely love your candle DIYs!! I want to make everything into a candle now 😊 The holiday ones are so fun and great for hostess gifts too!

I usually melt them the same way you do and add fragance oils but I loved the stickers ideas. I love making beautiful candles on a budget ❤️ Great ideas, thank you so much 😊👌

I was literally just about to comment and say "make sure whatever glass you're using is heat safe!" because I see so many different candle videos where it's not mentioned. I love that you brought it up because it can be so dangerous to use glass not rated for heat.

I'm loving the Starbucks candle! Heck, they should pay you for the idea and start selling them in their stores. Super cute!

What fun! When I was in elementary school, a room mother was a crafty one. For Valentines day we returned from out door playing to our room totally decorated for the Vday party. On each desk top was an Ice Cream Sundae! Golly we were excited. Then upon closer inspection we learned it was wax! The room roared in laughter! For the topping she used your whipped cream technique! The boys got chocolate and the girls got strawberry. She used the sundae plastic glasses. Cut a red ball in half for a cherry on top, stuck a plastic utensil handle it like a spoon. I kept that thing for a decade or more. Can't tell you how hard it is to dust that wax whipped cream. Of course they didn't have wicks as her container was plastic, but if you choose the glass sundae shaped glass dishes you will be golden! Thanks COTC for uncovering that fond memory. Really enjoyed watching your creative ideas!

You know I used to make candles when I was a kid and beeswax was a dollar for a pound and of course it's not that way anymore. Your ideas for reusing the wax in these candles and also the scent melts made out of wax and reusing wix and everything else in this video is 100% I love it!! Super genius chicky. ❤🎉😊

I am in LOVE with that coffee candle! Super cute and creative!

Too hard to choose a favorite, each of them were super cute! Love the coffee with whipped cream candle, and the little pumpkin ones from a previous video were so pretty! Oh, I can't forget the butterfly decals! Beautiful!

Sarah Jane, I LOVE your candles! Especially the red, white and blue one. You are so awesome!

I usually don't get many ideas from videos like this but your ideas were really great and very versatile! I wasn't looking for candle ideas but definitely would love to try some of these. The little pumpkin and jack-o'-lanterns we're my favorite. The latte ones were also really clever

One of the BEST dollar tree videos I’ve EVER SEEN!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

I have watched you make these. I need to try the coffee mug ones you have shown before too. So fun ! Thanks for reminding all of us to check which ones are not for hot liquids or flammable candles.

Those candle you made are just DARLING!!❤️

That tall coffee candle is totally 💯 amazing!!! You really are a great crafter, especially with candle making!

Thks for sharing SJ! 💗💗 these candle hacks! 😉😃 Love the wax melt hack with the candles 🕯!!

Yay! I'm so used to seeing your videos in the morning but I just so happened to go home for lunch, so I am able to watch this one too! The ceramic pumpkin candles I remember from a prev video and they're so cute. Looks expensive too -pinkies out-.

Awesome love 💗 your ideas with candels. I’m doing this for Christmas 🎄

Very creative! You do so much and have so much fun while spending so little!

My favorite candle/ wax melt hack put them in the freezer before using and they'll burn slower and last longer.

Wow ! You are so creative ! Loving the Starbucks candle , super cuteness !!

These are so cute. LOVE THE COFFEE CANDLE

Love this! I'm so doing some of these. Thank you for sharing these candle ideas.

The candles are so cute. Loved the red, white, and blue one, as well as the Starbucks. Creative thinking. 😉♥️

Sarah Jane loved all these candle hacks. I’m going to try some of these. Thanks for sharing

I was wondering a gift to give a friend who has everything and I think this is perfect!!! You can never have enough candles 🕯 and its a personal touch.

HOLY CRAP thank you for the butterfly candle idea! I have tons of dollar tree butterfly decals and other butterfly stuff around my room because I love them and the candles are just another fun way to use them instead of just putting them on the walls.

I'm so excited to try these!! Thank you so much for the how too and Dollar Tree videos!! It is my favorite store and my fiance makes fun of me but I don't care bc I love stuff like this!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Tip for candle making.... Never use a container that has a top that is smaller than the base. They rarely burn correctly 😊

LOVE LOVE the latte candle!!!! Very inspired thank you ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Thank you so much for your videos!!! Love them and that you focus on the project and not you!!! YOUR AMAZING!!👏👏👍👍👍👍💖

Great ideas huni wish we had a dollar tree in my country ,I really loved the coffee one with the whipped cream it looked so real ,thanks for sharing 👍😉💛🌼🐝

Hi 👋 I love their stickers and I never thought of doing that that's a great idea to stick those butterfly stickers on those candles those candles are great super pretty🦋🤩😍🥰👍👍🤟🤟👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I loooove the foamy coffee. That is so adorable!

This is my favorite thing to do. I buy the candles and decals all year and use the clings as well to make theme candles. Great idea on the coffee theme candles.

I love all your videos and always want to see more🙂 I'd love to see a video on a way to re-use the long glass candle jars after you pour the wax out.

The best candle making video, thanks for sharing 🙏🏼

Love all your ideas. I'm glad you showed the warning label, something I will now look for.

Good night beautiful lady! Those stickers makes such a beautiful look. I never did anything with my amber glass pumpkin jar. You are a genius at these hack decor. Love the July 4th color candle. Thank you for sharing these beautiful hacks and as always have a blessed night.

Awesome idea! I used to make candles and bought the Gulfwax blocks which were mega expensive. Never thought about using these big candles! Another idea for colored candles is to use crayons. Most crayon colors only take one crayon to color it, but to get a really red candle, you may need two crayons. And Crayola seems to do best, but if you have a box of 64 crayons, that's a lot of colors and you can mix them. I used to love making the layered ones with different colors. I also used essential oils to make scented candles. Due to my horrendous allergies, I would never do that again, but at the time, it seemed like a good idea. I melted my wax in a double boiler. Great video!

These candle ideas are actually quite awesome. 😁 Thanks for sharing these ideas

Thank you so much for all your ideas. Love the Starbucks candle too. Everything was so helpful. 😊❤😊

Wow! I love these! My daughter just moved to her first house. These will be a perfect thing to do together and help decorate her home to her specific taste! Thanks!
