I want to learn how to make my own candles but, this tutorial was not helpful at all! I have no clue what is a soy wax? where can I buy it? what it that bowl on the counter your poured the wax into? there was no close to see what in the world was that thing you attached to the wick!
I’m disappointed!

use a double boiler, like how you melt baking chocolates. or make one. You’ll need two pots, one larger than the other. Fill the larger pot with water and positioned the smaller pot on top of the larger one. Boil the water in the larger pot. The heat from the water boiling process should be melting the wax. Hope that helps.

You are an idiot! You should NEVER melt wax on direct heat, and if you think candle making is this simple I sure don’t want to burn yours! Hope you have good insurance because someone is going to burn their house down and sue you buddy!
