Make sure you get the candle making instructions that Brookstone has on the website. They will send them free to you when you place an order. They are really easy to follow and have some great tips.
I never order my candle stuff from anyone else. Brookstone has the absolute best. Their scents are wonderful!
HI I AM VERY NEW TO CANDLE MAKING. I JUST STARTED ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS. I STARTED MAKING CANDLES TO TRY AND HELP GET RID OF A SMELL IN MY HOME THAT I CALL ESSENCE OF REID. SO FAR IT'S WORKING. THE MORE CANDLES I MAKE THE BETTER THE HOUSE SMELLS. I DO HOWEVER HAVE PROBLEMS WITH SINK HOLES IN MY CANDLES. I ALSO DON'T THINK THE SCENTS I AM USING NOW ARE STRONG ENOUGH, WHICH IS HOW I FOUND THIS SITE. I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY BROOKSTONE SCENTS!!! I ALSO CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THE CRISCO. :
Welcome to candle making! I haven't tried using Crisco kinda makes me nervous. What I use for when I have sink holes, is a heat tool that it used for embossing. I bought it at a craft store was only $15.00. I basically just keep remelting the tops until its smooth. Doesn't usually take anymore then 1 or 2 times of remelting before the holes are gone. Brookstone does have the best scents by far. I just don't like how long it takes to receive your order. I have one candle company I get my wax from and its always here within 2 days!! Brookstone takes about 1 to 2 weeks. So give yourself plenty of time if your taking orders for candles. I've been selling since about October, Christmas was crazy..but loads of fun!! Good Luck and if I can help in anyway just let me know.
CRISCO KINDA MAKES ME A LITTLE NERVOUS TOO, BUT I PLAN TO TRY IT TONIGHT. I ORDERED SOME SENTS LAST NIGHT. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THEM. I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW IT TURNS OUT...
I TRIED THE CRISO . IT DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK FOR THE SINK HOLE PROBLEM OR THE SCENT. MAY I DIDN'T USE ENOUGH. I RECIEVED MY SCENTS FROM BROOKSTONE TODAY. I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THEM.
