Sharing here because I was really proud of how they turned out ☺️

I made wax melt bouquets as centerpieces for my cousins wedding shower this past weekend. They not only served as table decor but provided nice fragrance in the space even when not burning. And at the end, guests could take home the mini candles and a vase of “flowers” or two as an additional party favor, and they were a hit! 😄

Creations What are you making, prepping, or testing for this holiday season? It shows up so fast every year!

Last year I made a stacking Christmas tree candle, an ornament candle, and a gingerbread house candle. The gingerbread house candle was very time consuming and didn’t sell well, so it won’t be coming back. The ornament sold slowly so I’m ditching that, too. The trees were the clear winner! I don’t think I’m even attempting another holiday mold this year. I want to see/hear what you have planned! Any fun new scents you’re thinking of trying? I recently got a sample size of Midwest Fragrance’s Heart & Home fragrance oil and it’s delicious and I can’t wait to make a great blend with it!

Making concrete pieces has taught me patience. Two of today’s jars cracked while demolding, but the next one came out perfectly. Small business life isn’t always aesthetic, but it’s worth it

Hello! I am really new to candle making and I have a question. How could I achieve this kind of rustic look?

Soy Coconut candle burning time

Hey, 200g candle is burned in like 20 hours or less.
70% C3 soya 30% Ecococo, ECO 6 wick.

Should I add any additives that slow down burning?
Any thoughts?
