I agree with wrapping the 'Dirty Bird' text wrapping the top, and 'Soap Inc' wrapping the bottom. I LOVE the idea! It's fun, adorable, and original. If I saw this on the shelves, I wouldn't be able to pass it up! Great Job :-)

Oh yes, I have a feeling I'll need TONS of paper towels! I've looked on Ebay for presto pots, they look SO much easier. If I'm not mistaken the one I'll be getting has a spout, and comes with some beeswax tea light kit. Any thoughts on spout vs. non spout? I've bookmarked a few thermometers, scales, etc. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait for payday to get everything. On the bright side, that leaves me with plenty of time to research. I can already tell I'm going to have the hardest time not buying every FO I see! Everything sounds so good, an expensive hobby indeed

Hello everybody :wave: I was initially drawn to this forum because I want to start making candles. As I awaited activation, I've read so many threads, I've just about gone cross eyed! I've also decided that maybe I should POSSIBLY start smaller..wax melts. I'm twenty years old, and back when I was about twelve my mom brought me to the local craft store, and let me get a gel candle kit. I was in love. Only later to find out that this 'kit' consisted of a bowl, a wick, and squeezing the gel into said bowl. Oh, and it smelled awful! Fast forward to now, I buy ridiculous amounts of candles, only to be disappointed that they don't burn evenly, and you can't smell them five feet away! I shudder to think, but I don't think I've ever had a good quality candle. So that is what brings me here, the quest to make some awesome candles, and melts! So, what should I know before I start? Any and all tips are welcome and appreciated
