How to make a scented Candle with Herbs & Crystals - Like an extensive tutorial? Let me know!

Hi!
In this short little video, I am showing you the steps I use when I make my candles.
It took me many months, a lot of trying different ingredients and methods, but I finally found my perfect way of making candles!
I recently opened an Etsy shop, where I for now, sell tealights with herbs and crystals. This month I hope to add big candles for sale as well!
All my candles are 100% vegan and hand poured and hand embellished by me. All the crystals I use are charged in the latest full Moon and are handled with respect.
All of my tealights are made in silence. There are no intentions set into them to keep the energy pure for each individuals own workings and enjoyment.
If you would like to have a personalized candle, please send me a message and I am sure, together we can come up with a beautiful creation!

Hopefully you like this video and I would be happy to make a more elaborated tutorial if you would like to see it! Just let me know in the comments, and I will make it happen!
Have an amazing day!
Much love,
Chloe.

this may be a silly question but what will happen to the crystals? like when the candle is all done what do you do with the crystals? do we just throw them out or are they salvageable? what do you do?

@TurasOfficial 2 жыл бұрын

This is a great question! For the big crystal at the top I recommend to take it out during the first burn of the candle. Some crystals I add are pretty big and the burn of the candle will be less good but also the flame can touch the crystal and not all crystals can stand heat that well. The smaller ones you can leave in or also take out. My dad is a pro at removing the crystals at the end. If you don't wait till the candle is burned completely (which you really shouldn't with a candle) you can whip them out when the last bit of wax is still a bit warm, take out the crystals and clean them. :) Hope this helps!

I love this video! I'm looking for unique candle making ideas because I'd like to start making my own. You make it look so simple!! I really wanna try this. At 4:18 you mention because of the heavy amethyst the wax will blow up.... Is that a typo or is that a real possibility? Thank you so much for the inspiration 😊

@TurasOfficial 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! Thank you for your kind words! No it is not a typo, but maybe it is written a bit unclear. When you add any stone to wax that is in it's drying process, it can happen that because of the pressure of the stone, air can come in the wax or movement of the wax will happen. In this case you can see that the wax will bubble to the surface next to the stone. That is all I mean by blow up. Movement will happen when you add anything to the candle, and your drying surface will be less smooth. I hope this helps, and good luck with your candle adventure! ❤

@TurasOfficial 3 жыл бұрын

That happens to me also, then you have to wait a little longer for your wax to be cooler and then they will stay on top of the wax. How hot do you pour your wax? Maybe try to make your container warm in hot water. It is possible that the wax gets a big shock when it hits the cold glass/metal or whatever you use to make your candles. Then you can get holes and the surface won't be a smooth as you would like. Good luck!

have a question for you and I hope to hear from you if you have time! I’m currently making beef Tallow Candles but I’m having a difficult time finding a cost effective way to add scent. I have used essential oil‘s but I have to use over 60 drops to even get a smell. I don’t want to use fragrance oils because they’re not natural. Would you recommend that I mix the tallow with another fat like coconut oil? Do you think these two would mix well or is there another one you would recommend?

Hi! I am sorry I can not help you with your question. I only use vegan wax and have never or will never work with beef tallow so I have no idea how to add or work with essential oils in this case! Good luck :)

@TurasOfficial 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Renee! If you make sure the herbs aren't too close to the wicks, there is no hazard. Sometimes big rose buds who touch the flames can catch fire, but it's easy to blow them out. For the rest of the smaller herbs, they just float in the wax so they become wet and nothing will happen as for my experience. I have never had any complaints from costumers.

How do you know what oils to use for heat candle or does it matter what scents you use?

@TurasOfficial 3 жыл бұрын

I order my scents from websites who are specialised in making candles so where they also sell whicks and wax. I believe it is okay to just use essential oils, but I want to be sure my candles are safe as I also sell them. The wax I use is vegan, so it's harder to get the scent very strong so I like to only use scents that are made specifically for candles.

It depends on how big the candle is and how long it takes for the candle to cool down. With a candle this size it can take up to 45 min before I can start to add herbs. The best trick is to start adding your toppings and when they sink to the bottom of the candle, you are too early. It's really trial and error and depends on what kind of wax and glass size you use. If you have done it a few times, you start to recognize the way the wax works and when it is time to start your toppings! :)

@lynneannec 3 ай бұрын

I have been told that herbs/flowers etc. will catch on fire, and crystals will explode in candles. What should be done to ensure this doesn’t happen when the candle is lit? I saw that in Australia it is illegal to have candles with items in them that don’t burn away in 5 seconds or less, so for these types of candles you must remove the roses and crystals before lighting. I would really like to make and sell these types of candles in the US, so any tips on doing so without any fire hazards would be greatly appreciated ❤️Thank you - great tutorial!

@TurasOfficial 3 ай бұрын

Hej! I always advise you to remove bigger herbs and crystals before the first burning, just in case. And it is wise to never leave a candle like this out of sight or leave the room while having this lit because you never know. Most of the time the herbs will float in the wax and won't catch fire, but rosebuds for example are bigger so they also float above the wax and they can drift towards a wick and can catch fire. It is a use at own risk situation, people should be very aware of the dangers. I always include a warning sign with clear instructions on how to use a candle like this. Some people don't even lit their candle because they think it's too pretty to be used, but personally I have never had any bad experiences with my candles and whenever I sold one, I only received good feedback. Sometimes, I like to get back to customers and ask them about their experiences so I can learn from it for future candles I make.

@TurasOfficial 3 ай бұрын

So if you want to stay on the safe side, use only small or very little herbs. You can also only put them in the bottom of your candle. That also looks very pretty. Just pour a little amount of wax in a jar, put your herbs of choise in. If you use a glass jar, make sure you can see them against the glass and wait for it to set completely before you pour in the rest of the wax (without herbs). That will give you a very pretty candle as well, and makes for safer use. And then you can always put a few bigger ones on top for decoration, but make sure you let your costumers know to remove them before burning the candle. Goodluck with your journey! ✨️❤️

I get my herbs from my local tea shops or online where they sell dried herbs. Same with crystals. I go to wholesale stores in my neighbourhood or online, depends on what I need. There is a calculation you can do which you can probably find online where they tell you how much wax compared to oil you need, but I do it by smell and by feeling. When my wax is below 85 degrees Celsius, I add as much oil as I feel is needed. :)

Hi! I always try to buy my crystals in real stores (warehouses) which I can visit and check out the quality of the crystals. It can be a big hassle to find the right store with the variety of crystals you seek, but it is worth the trouble. I don't really buy crystals online, except when I really need to and I know they are legit and trustworthy.

Where do you get the crystals from?

I get them from a lot of places! In wholesale crystals stores in my country or online if I trust it! :)

Can you explain please exactly a little more regarding your statement that due to the HEAVY stone the wax will BLOW UP.? BLOW UP as in explode or exactly how do you mean?

@TurasOfficial 2 жыл бұрын

Because of the bigger Amethyst crystal I add to the top and slightly push into the wax, the wax besides it will blow to the surface and create bubbles. That will make the top layer of the candle less smooth, so in the video I try to "hide"(fix) that with adding more herbs over the little wax bubbles. The wax does not explode, no worries. It just floats up to the surface more because at a different place in the candle, something heavy is added. Hope this helps :)

What sort of herbs would you suggest?

@TurasOfficial 2 жыл бұрын

You can use any herbs you like! I have bags with dried lavender, rosebuds, cinnamon, star anise and clove for example. But I also have a lot of bags with loose tea mixes where I choose my favourite herbs out of and use for my candles.

A heat gun helps settle the crystals as well

At what right temperature should the wax be?

For the scent to be put in or for what purpose would you like to know? 😀

@C.R. Persevering Pisces That really depends on what you want to achieve. If you want your herbs to float in your candle, you can do it fairly quickly. If you only want herbs on top, you should wait a bit longer and then see how they float in/on the wax and if it is set enough for bigger flowers to stay on the surface. It is a bit hard to explain, but it is really trying and see what happens. Sometimes, after pouring a candle, I can check the candle for an hour because I keep coming back to see how set the wax is and how the herbs are reacting with it. What I don't prefer to do myself, but what I see a lot of people doing when they add herbs, is that they first make the candle without, let it set completely and then take a blow torch and only melt the surface again and then stick in the herbs/flowers/crystals of their preference. Then you won't have the problem of anything falling to the bottom of the candle or messing up the surface of it because of air bubbles.

How do the herbs not catch fire?

@TurasOfficial 2 жыл бұрын

Sometimes big herbs can catch fire when they are close to the wick, but most of the time the herbs sink in the wax as the candle burns, so they are wet and nothing happens with them. :)

I just saw someone add coconut oil to the wax and said it helps it burn evenly...it doesn't make sense to my unknowledgeable eye as to why I would want to set coconut oil on fire inside my home... can you let me know if I'm wrong.

@TurasOfficial 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! To be honest I have never heard anyone put coconut oil in their candles. I have no problem with them burning uneven other than some parts of the wax sticking to the glass because of the herbs I add. Sorry I can not give you the answer you are looking for! X

It has been a lot of researching on the web, finding different websites and choosing the ones that best fit your budget/direction you want to go in. It has taken me a lot of months before I even had everything I needed and actually could start and figure out which things I needed and what technique works best for me. Good luck with starting, wish you all the best!
