Thanks Lara. I get my candle supplies form candle shack which is a UK based company (candle-shack.co.uk/). The lables are from Amazon :)

@@keepupthegoodness thank you!!!!

Thanks friend. I print them on my HP Envey printer :)

thanks nicole - I got the tubes from alibaba: german.alibaba.com/p-detail/Test-1600219919261.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normal_offer.d_image.31454113I3GLBZ&s=p

Hi Mystica, thanks so much😍 i actually created those myself with a program called Krita. I printed the stickers on sticker paper and cut them out 😊

@@keepupthegoodness thank you!!🤗❤

Hi Kaytee Lynnn, thanks so much for your lovely comment. Happy to share with you: the dye is 'Bekro Dye' (250 turqouise). Here is the link to the website - also got the oils from there too: candle-shack.co.uk/ Have fun on your candle making journey!😘

this is where I get my supplies from: candle-shack.co.uk/

Hi Rhonda, sorry but I don't remember anymore where I got those from. found some options on Alibaba if this is helpful: german.alibaba.com/p-detail/Test-1600219919261.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normal_offer.d_image.31454113I3GLBZ&s=p

Hi Eja, thanks so much for reaching out. This is indeed a difficult one as the answer can't be pinned down to just one reason - it could be an interplay of a couple of things. First off let me say that I went through about 30 tests before I discovered the 'perfect' wick, jar, wax, dye and fragrance combination. A couple of tips that I can share: 1. make sure the stones and decorations are not cloging the wick (less is more in this case) 2. same for the dye and fragrance - find out what is the maximum fragrance load for your wax and try using that same exact amount or less (ex. C3 nature wax can hold up to 6% of fragrance not more). 3. are you using a good wick for your type of wax? - reasearch on that 4. what is the diameter of your jar and what diameters are recommended for the wick you are using - try testing the recommended size wick for the diameter of the jar as well as a size bigger and smaller 5. and most importantly - don't give up. It is just a matter of time till you find the perfect fit. much success and joy on your candle making journey!

@@keepupthegoodness thank you so so much for your answer! you made my day ♥️

Hi Palak, that is soft tissue paper I am using in this video

Hi Dinesha, thanks for the question. No, the label doesn't melt when the candle is burning down. The burning flame doesn't come in direct contact with the label. The jar does get hot but seemingly not hot engough. :)

@@keepupthegoodness thank you 😘

Hi Priya, we don't give lessons - but there are two videos on how to where we share our formula to calculate the wax and oil ratios. We are based in Europe and so we source most of our stuff from the UK (candleshack shop).

Hi there Dj Nickztar, thanks for the question. We use Filmora Wondershare to edit our videos. Great program and easy to use.

We used Krita to create the logo. It is a great program for sketching, painting, making logos and thumbnails. I really enjoy working with it. Loads of possibilities and loads to still learn about the program. Wishing you a lot of creative fun with Krita:)

@@keepupthegoodness thank you so very much!!

@@alexatarabay534 very welcome, enjoy:)

Hi Sara, thank you for your lovely message and the very good question. From my personal experience..I would advise to use glas rather than plastic. The reason being that plastic (depending which sort) is likely to melt in the flame but maybe even in the hot wax pool. There may be a pontential release of fumes from the plastic which i would advise to avoid. Another alternative is sugar like suger beads or cake decorations. ..but even with those I would be careful. If you plan on selling your candles the determining factor will be your product liability insurance - where you will need to clarify if the insurance will cover the product including decorations. From an insurance perspective any added decoration to the candle other than wax means a potential hasard. But please don't let this message discourage you in your creative process. Always continue being creative, continue evolving your craft and keep the goodness coming! If you r interested we r planning the next video about candle testing and candle safety coming soon - some lessons learned on the journey.. Wishing you a marvellous day and thank you for reaching out.

@@keepupthegoodness Thank u so much with your great advices❤🤍

Hi Kiecia, thank you for your question. We have a video up about learning to measure out the wax you need. I use this formula to find out how much wax flakes I need to fill a particular jar: JAR SIZE - 20% OF THE JAR SIZE = AMOUNT OF WAX YOU NEED TO FILL THE JAR. ex. 350ml - 20% of 350ml = the correct weight of flakes: 350ml - 70ml = 280ml/g once you calculated the weight (280g) you will take that number to calculate the fragrance percentages. ....hope this makes sense otherwise I will make a video to explain. much success and fun!

Hi Marisa, there is always some risk connected with adding items to the candle. I prefer to use very little flowers and not put them directly near the flame to minimize the danger. once the pedles are immersed in the wax the ods get lower that something could happen. when using crystals make sure to use those that have a very high melting point. that reduces the danger. never leave your candle unattended and follow propper candle care and burning instructions.

@@keepupthegoodness ok thank you

We order our wax here: candle-shack.co.uk/collections/natural-wax/products/naturewax-c3

Hi Yudhita, thanks for the enquiry. On what program and what kind of segment would you want to feature the video? Thanks

@@keepupthegoodness Thanks for your respons before.🙏🏻 We want to use this video on "Sehat Santuy" program. The program explains how we can live healthy in a simple way. and your video to explain the uniqueness of candle making 🙏🏻

and we will put your youtube channel on our show.. thanks before 🙏🏻

@@yudhitaanugrahputri6702 hi Yudhita, that sounds lovely. I like your mindset. Our channel stands for creativity and positivity and we want to bring joy to anyone who watches. Would be great if you could also share a link to the show with us once it is up. Thank you and much success with the show.

Hi Diam, I have actually collected many of my crystals over the years. But when I do buy them I go to this store which is an online shop in Switzerland:www.kristall-schweiz.ch/default.asp

this one is also a good one:www.hde.ch/contents/de-ch/d33_achat.html

Hi Gemma, thanks for the Q. I design the lables in a programme called KRITA and print them out on sticker paper with my printer. A very manual process but fun.

Hi Yarelly, I get my crystals here: www.kristall-schweiz.ch/default.asp

It's exactly what you said, it is a heat gun:) Here is a link to an example: www.steg-electronics.ch/de/product/alphacool-hardtube-heat-gun-pro-2000w-19930204

@@keepupthegoodness thank you so much! I never seen anything like it! What did you use it for exactly💖

@@thotess i use the heat gun to melt the top surface of the candle so that i can put some decorations on the candle:) once the wax dries again.. the decorations on top stick to the candle and don't move around the surface.

Hi Kate, you can put the jar in the freezer over night which will allow you to remove the wax much easier. Once the big pieces of wax are off the crystal you can wash the crystal with warm water and sope (soy wax can easely be washed off with soap)

Yes, as long as the oil ratio is correct. Also important to use crystals that can withstand high heat.

@@keepupthegoodness thnk you so much!

Hi Cindyboo, thanks for your question. You need to make sure to use crystals with high melting points - not all crystals are good to put next to the candle flame. Putting the crystal as away as possible from the candle flame and into the wax helps prevent damage to the crystal. Hope this helps.

The candles are 2/3 full. Needed to leave a bit of space for the decorations.

Hi Jaden. Understand your point😅 I could have used the kitchen scale when filling the jars instead of eyeballing it. However I wanted to show that you don't have to pour soy wax in one go different to other waxes. Could have done this in a better way. Thank you for your comment😊
