Enchanted Mountain Shoppe

I made a tester candle last night with a scent called Watermint & Clementine and it smells AMAZEBALLS!!!!!

Today I’m performing an abusive burn test on the tester candles I made last weekend. This is a test where you let your candles literally burn for like 10+ hours.

Performing initial wick testing today with 7 different wicks! An initial wick test takes 4 hours

Today’s ’s These are only filled halfway because they’re testers. Each candle has a different wick!

Did you know that candles cool from the bottom up? Check out my timelapse video from today’s candles! This video took 30 mins to record but I sped it up by 20x! Follow me on Instagram @enchantedmountainshoppe

Experimenting with a new scent and my new presto pot today!

When I first started my candle making journey 6 months ago I had NO idea how much testing truly goes into this craft. I’ve tested so many wax/wick combos and I’ve only just begun! It really is more fun than frustrating!

Do you trim your candle wick before lighting it each time?! Do you trim your candle wick before lighting it each time?!

Experimenting with color & glitter today in wax!
