  1. I can not seem to get my invitation to sound right or look right. I am not happy with it at all. Can anyone give me some advice to what it should look like and what should be on it? Should it just be an invitation like a Birthday invite? Or should it have date, time, and also explain what it is all about, what kind of free things you can get? I have Microsoft word, Microsoft publisher, and Printmaster 16. I don't know what I'm doing, hopefuly someone can send me an example. And what is the easiest way for people to open them up with. I know some people dont have the same programs as i do so would they be able to even open them?
  2. I am looking to buy floating candle moulds. The round ones...can anyone direct me to the right site? thanks
  3. I found the cheapest impulse sealer through http://secure.candlesupply.com/catalog_page_detail_keyword.cfm?queries_index=index5
  4. I had this candle one time and I loved the scent soo much, and now I have know idea what it was called. So if anyone can figure out what the scent I would love it. It smelled like vanilla cake baking in the oven.
  5. I am doing wedding candles and they want dark blue. Can anyone show me a page with the actual colors on it so I can see what they look like? I have Navy Blue, Royal Blue, and Wedgewood blue. Which out of the 3 are the darkest?
  6. What color do you guys scent Grape with? Is it purple or something different. I don't want it lavender or lilac, just wondering if it is just purple?
  7. I am using the honey pot style containers. I'm wondering if I should put the lable on the top (Round) or along the side (Rectangle). Can I even just put a label on the top, which I would rather because the label fits funny on the side of it because it's not perfectly straight. What kind of label is best for those jars that look nice and that are not rinkled to fit right.
  8. I have been using a tackle box to put all of my different scents in. I hate it, all my scents start smelling alike. Does anyone have a different way to do theirs. Candlelite has it looks like lipgloss cups that screw onto each other, so each scent stays in its own cup. Can anyone tell me who to aquire those or what they are called.
  9. I live near Edmonton Alberta and I get my scents from Alberta beezwax and Lynden House, they are both in edmonton Alberta. They have real good quality scents. You don't need to use too much to get a strong scent. I also order from Peaks and canwax. But I do find ordering from Canada to be alot cheaper. If your looking to buy canisters goto canwax.com the shipping is cheap and the prices are great. From Canadian to Canadian email me if you need any other information I'd be glad to answer your questions
  10. I have double wicked a honey pot with 44c's. One of my wicks while burning looks like there is wind blowing on it. it burns sideways a bit. Is that normal, if not what does that mean?
  11. my Jars are called honey pots I get them from http://www.canwax.shoppingcartsplus.com/page/page/1687057.htm
  12. I've been testing my containers today. I made 2 16oz one with 2 wicks with 51c and the other with just 1 51c. I burned them for 7 hours, the one that has the double wick just had full melt pool at the 7 hour mark. The single wicked one was still 1 inch from the sides. I am using IGI 4786, no additives. Does the second and 3rd burn make a full melt pool faster? Do you think I need to wick up? With 16oz jars do you always have to double wick? Also I did 2 10oz jars same wax one jar I used 44c and the other was 51c. They both seemed to burn the exact same but just looked like they were burning 1/2" from the sides after 7 hours. I switched to the 51z's for both of them, they seem to be burning better, but I thought the cotton ones burn hotter? Do I wait for the second and 3rd burn to see if the hang up goes away? And why does it take so long to get a full melt pool? What is the next size up if I choose to wick up? I don't know anything about testing containers...how long should I burn them? Do I do a continous burn till a full melt pool? The scent is good I getting really good throw. I'm just wondering on how to test the burn properly.
  13. How do I get the Dark dark chocolate brown color without using alot of color. Is there a die chip that is dark brown. I want the color as dark as possible.
  14. Where does everyone get their sticky labels for container candles. I want to design my own but I have to find labels that stick onto the containers. I want one for the front and one for the top. Also I think I need waterproof labels? Can anyone help me find the proper labels for my containers. Thanks!
  15. What do you think should be the maximum amount of different scents that you should sell at one time. I havve so many good ones and it would be so hard to get rid of some. I think I have too many, and want a max # to carry at a time.
  16. I buy my twist ties from http://www.nashvillewraps.com I usually buy 4 inch metallic twist ties. For 2000 ties its 20.00. And they are very strong ond don't tare apart like some that I've bought before.
  17. I am starting container candles. I want to do 2 sizes, one small and one large. I am debating if I should go with 5, 9 or 10, for the small. And a 16 or 26oz for the larger. Can you give me some ideas on what sizes you use, so I can choose before I buy them.
  18. I am starting to make container candles. I am wanting to do 2 sizes. I am debating on what 2 sizes to choose, should i go with a 9oz and 16oz. Or 10oz and 26 or 28oz. I want to do one small and one large. I'm just wondering what sizes are you using so I can get an idea of which ones to get.
  19. I have been searching for candle holders wholesale for months now. I can not find anything that does not look cheap. And also when I do find something I need a tax Id. I heard I do not need a tax id unless i make 30,000 a year. Can someone clear this up for me. And also can anyone show me a site that I can get holders, tart melters, or electric ones. But I'm mostly looking for candle holders.
  20. where do you get shrink wrap. I think I want to start wrapping my votives separately, and also for tarts. But not sure where to buy them for a good price.
  21. oops...gotta download my pic give me a bit
  22. Just wanted to see what you thought of my logo...It's simple and I wanted something that is not country, but something more elegant. It's the start of my business cards. Just wanted to get your opinions.
