Belinda Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Those look SO good! How do you package those? Are the cinnamon sticks real or a mold? I have a mold for cinnamon sticks but haven't used it yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a mold for cinnamon sticks but haven't used it yet. Yes, they are real. My first test package is the photo. Not sure how I like it?? ? I didn't have any bags the right size, but I did have some sheets of polypro so I cut into wide strips, laid the two pcs in an X, put the melt in the center and pulled the sides up to tie off. You can smell them well like this but not sure I'm loving it. Edited September 3, 2016 by KrazeKelly Forgot the pic!! Ha! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I'm still debating this in my head. Should I spend money on something to package them in or work with what I have? ? Some little clear square boxes would be cute but probably too expensive and I'm not sure how well they will sell if they are more than a couple of $$ each around here. The ones with the fruits weigh 2oz and the ones with the cinnamon sticks weigh 1.5oz. Hmmm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I absolutely LOVE the ribbon! Do you mind me asking where you found that? I'm a kraft brown bag and label person and when I use poly pro bags I still put a very country/primitive material bow on it to tie the top. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 My goodness these are SO beautiful ! Im assuming they are wax melts - sorry for the dumb question :/ Are you planning on just doing 1 or will you sell several 4-5 in a package ? I think the way you have them packaged is super cute May I ask what type of wax can be used to do the whipped portion - so amazing looking ! Where does all of your energy come from ??? lol ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy huge rolls of ribbon for just under $7 + it is gorgeous + good quality too. They should have the holiday ribbon out very soon if not already. Plus they have the BEST price on white tissue paper, Im talking $5 + change hundreds of sheets I buy at least 4-5 every season and use it for everything.

I have no energy!!! I just get bored easily. I ended up ordering 3x3 clear square boxes to put these in. I will package individually. I used 464 & cba blended for the whipped portion.

Trappeur Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Super super cute Kelly! So time consuming making those melts I know cause when I do them for myself I think I could make a half dozen candles by the time I get done with mine, but they are just so darn cute! Love your packaging and that ribbon is awesome! Just love the pine cones on it. I have a pine cone fetish and would love something like that! Question, ..... is the wax you use pretty good so it doesn't smear the bag that much? I'm always so afraid to do something like that for me to sell to the shops because I know how customers can man handle the packaging so I wind up putting in little mason jars. Keep the pictures coming! Love em! Trappeur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the pictures coming! Love em! Trappeur Thanks! That's what I was worried about also so I ordered the boxes this time and will try some confetti or something to keep them in place. I have package them in bags before, but like you said, they start looks not so good after a while. Yes, they are very time consuming. It took me a 3 or 4 days doing a little each day.

KrazeKelly Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Well, after trying several packaging ideas, I ended up shrink wrapping and putting 5 to a bag. I like the way they turned out. Do you think 10.00 per bag is too much?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
