Thanks so much. Been on ebay looking for a mold and now I don’t need one. I love the idea of oiling whatever you have handy.

Good job with this. Clever recycling old wax, which is relatively easy to pick up in thrift shops. Glad you mentioned the bit about the mouth of the mold needing to be the widest point. Regarding the wick, Martha Steward suggested dipping the string in the melting wax to make it taut and therefore easier to stand up.
Thanks for the lesson.

@wildcatz171 I think you are missing the point….also different qualities of wax and how it burns make different qualities of candles….if you happy with a 50c one from Walmart good enough for you.
wildcatz171 | Tuesday, 04 May 2010 at 5:14 am
why dont u just go to walmart and buy one for 50p?

well that`s worth knowing….
tinatenby | Tuesday, 04 May 2010 at 7:22 am
No it works just fine!!
feebix | Tuesday, 04 May 2010 at 7:32 am
I would have thought the string would smoke? Isn`t proper wick a special blend or something? I`m definitely getting into doing this though, another excuse to be creative

Hiya, I did what you said but with a paintbrush. I now have about 20 of the most amazing candles ever! Thanks for your help
tinatenby | Tuesday, 04 May 2010 at 8:30 am
Hi Jake. It may work without spray. You could also just get a paper towell with some oil on and rub it inside. Any oil. Good luck!
JakeBall1991 | Tuesday, 04 May 2010 at 9:05 am
Hey this is amazing. But I don’t have the oil spray. What do I do?? Thought of lining the cup with a polythene bag but not sure… my wax is melting so I’ll try different methods and let you know. 5/5 great vid thanks
glitterfish82 | Tuesday, 04 May 2010 at 9:25 am
you have to pour wax in a quarter at a time, each after the first has cooled but not hardened- the hole is normal, save a small amount for the very end to fill in the hole. let the whole over fill to create a top layer. this will keep the hole from reforming. so when you set your wick, from the beginning, make sure its extra long (long enough to wrap around finger above the top of candle holder. also try heating wax in an old soup can, inside a pot of boiling water so wax never boils

i did the same way u did , i melted a used candle i had but at the end after it cooled down there was that big hole in the middle

also there were bubbles inside although i did pour it really slowly to prevent that

Wow, I always learn new stuff on the youtube all the time. The pennies is a great idea. Now days, how to vids are calling for expensive tools and gadgets. Thanks for the how to from “scratch” and money saving techniques.

car0524 | Tuesday, 04 May 2010 at 2:03 pm
