Me and my daughter made keepsake candles for her baby shower. It was fun and they smelt great.. but haven’t tried it again after declaring that I was going to be the next major candle brand..her twins are nearly 9 now 😂😂😊
That’s great to use the clam !! Love that idea . You are the best for candle advice ..I only buy lower lodge and did chuck all the Yankees out ! Well saved the new ones to gift back ! 😂😅
Of course I’ve just ordered the candle making set you recommended! It’ll make a great gift for my creative grand daughter, thank you for making me spend money again ! 😍
Damn, I was here for the rim jokes 🙈 😂 love the melty pot thing - I’ve not had anything as posh in my limited candle making experience! I love that you used one of your clam shells. Fabulous idea! Xxx
How fun!🕯️I use to make candles in the late 70’s and 80’s. Time to revive the craft! Searching for candle vessels right now! 🪔Thank you for sharing JP!🙋🏼♀️🫶🏻🕯️
I adore scented candles, JP! How gorgeous to make your own and have them glowing beautifully from your £300 clam shells! Glad something good has come out of your unplanned treasure hunting. Since I have around one boob's worth of boobs it's unlikely I'll get my kit out anytime soon. Not that anyone would notice...😂
Or have the time to factor in making my own. Candles that is. But I do love a good ol' JP read (laughs incl) and rec. Happy Sunday, lovely.
I have quite a lot of empty small glass candle jars ( I used to re use them as tea light holders) but I may have a go at refilling them as Christmas cracker gifts…Thanks for the inspiration JP!
Good morning JP. I have been on 2 candle making courses and yes it is great fun. The aromas are intoxicating. However so much easier to buy candles or indeed diffusers which I’ve moved on to. Looking forward to your lists,coming soon! 😂❤️
The shells are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing this process- I’ve been thinking about making some with my hand thrown ceramic vessels - watch this space! Well the sun’s out now and I’m off to Paris today so not any day soon! Aurevoir !
Thanks for the laughs this morning JP! Just the thing for a Sunday morning!
I have to say I'm a little tempted to get a kit but think I'm way too impatient - I always love the thought of crafting but the end result usually leaves alot to be desired! It's on my gift list for my sister though ;) xx
Buying starter kit from amazon right now ! So informative.. has really woken me up due to great interest on a Sunday morning , enjoyed the giggles too . What a marvellous idea using the shell for a candle . Right … off to walk the garden now to see what I can find for a candle receptacle 😁 Thanks JP 🩷

The soundtrack to The Mission is one of my favourites JP - perfect accompaniment to candle making imagine, an I shall find out for sure this winter
Oh me too Mark, a classic. Happy candle making.

Very helpful, thank you! I have quite a few ceramic pots I’ve made at my pottery class which would be ideal for candles.
Ah you are most welcome Hannah.

It is a darn sight easier to buy them. 🤣
The shells are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing this process- I’ve been thinking about making some with my hand thrown ceramic vessels - watch this space! Well the sun’s out now and I’m off to Paris today so not any day soon! Aurevoir !
That’s a lovely idea. Have fun in Paris.
