How many candles does the included wax in the kit make? I plan on using this to make 5-8 candles out of vintage tea cups.

I had just a box of the original tea candles I bought at like target and there was enough to fill over 10. Keep in mind that was after the given candle mold and a whole identical candle. It makes a lot but it's only like a one time or two time use.

I think I got 12 or 18 packs. I can't exactly remember. The wax is not too soft, so it doesn't disappear to quickly

2 and 1/8 should work for you. Still love these candles and use them a lot!

I've made candles twice and each time used a variety of jars I had on hand - I prefer the 8 to 16 oz jars for this purpose and end up with 6-8 candles. They burn nicely.

Hello MotherofAnAngel, I use these wicks in my soy candles in 6oz-8oz mason jars and they are perfect ... I get a nice even burn and it's the best one I have found so far. I use Eco-Soya CB Xcel - soy wax. Hope this helps!

I filled it to the mimimum line. The provided about 6 of their waxes. I think I used 4. I do not change the wax after each use.

I'd have to count again but it is either 26 or 28 cupcakes total. Works like a dream unless you want candles in the cupcakes. The tiers are a little too close together to get a candle in every one.

Yes I get these all the time, There is 12 tins and 12 lids, they are for 8oz Candles!

I used a small, cheap wax heater, but without such a device you could put it on the stove in a pan with some water in it and slowly melt it that way. A small wax heater ($25) is probably worth the money because the wax needs to be reheated continually.

I have made a candel in a glass container that is 2 3/4" in diameter and when the candel burnes there is a 1/4" of wax left on the edge. So I guess if you want the wax to fully burn down you will have to use a small container. Oh an I used bees wax. This is just my experience I do not know the 'correct' answere. and this is the first time I made a candle. Hope this helps.

I didn't use anything for the tea lights, but for the rest I used 3 popsicle sticks to hold the wicks in the center and it worked really well. I didn't use any glue, if you pour the wax slow the wicks should stay in place then hold them in place with the sticks.

For my emergency candles i chose the medium wicks. I use half pint wide mouth jars which are 8 ounces. I use unscented soy wax which should burn 40 to50 hours. For a pint jar i think either would be ok, but I would probably use a medium. A large wick could burn too fast and just use your candle up quicker.

Yes, when I make candles I also use 8oz jars. So far I have found that one 5lb bag works well. Sometimes I may still have some wax left over.

I think that this warmer would work fine for a fine china teapot with the use of one candle. However, check EnjoyingTea.com and check out the warmers specifically designed for fine china. They are not expensive. Hope this helps. S. D. Seidel

I don'treally know as I haven't made candles. The things I have read though kind of discourage essential oil for candles.

Each box contains one pot and two sticks. The pot and its contents can be reheated multiple times depending on how much wax you use for each session.

Two. There will be some wax drip after heating it and it doesn't look clean, but it works for mending large holes or tears very well.
