Thank you everyone for the warm welcome, and for your wonderful advise. I was afraid you all would say what you did. My thinking at the time was that all of the candle sellers seemed to be using the same containers. I wanted mine to be unique, like an antique store for candles. I'll put these other things up for awhile (or put them on ebay). I have already ordered wax, wicks, and dye from a local distributor. When I placed my order I saw some 10oz heart shaped containers on clearance. I bought a case (like 12) because I thought they were cute and I can't resist a clearance sale. I suppose I will start with these, maybe order some more. You all are great! I love it here!

Newbie here! Hello. I think I have gone about candle making backwards. I spent all summer picking up what I thought would be unique containers. I bought a lot of tea cups, old jars, and different antique glass to pour candles in to sell. Then, I started the research to making candles and landed here. I didn't know there was so much involved, like testing waxes, wicks, FO, and dyes. Do you think it would be better for me to start out with standardized containers instead of all the various ones I have?
