Yes…you could but there the sides would have overhang and it looks a bit messy IMO. 

 

 Ok. So I folded the top like you would with wrapping paper … then sealed it with a warning label.  Mind you, it could be done much neater for a form fitting fit

Could you just fold the extra length over and seal further down the back?

What size bag do you think would work best for putting these in? I've been trying to get away from clams but thought about using them as a mold and then putting them in bags. To my nose, they smell stronger when you sniff out of a bag instead of a clamshell and sometimes the wax gets a funky smell to it. I'm not sure if it's the FO or type of wax itself that causes that because I haven't noticed it on every clamshell I've made, just certain ones.

Hi Belinda.  I had some from Clear Bags that measure 3 5/16 x 5 1/8.  They would look cute with a topper since there is length left over after sealing.   It would be no problem to  mail you a few to try before you buy.

Are you looking for it to be self contained packaging, or just the molded bar? You could use what you have as a mold. Then package in something else, like a glassine bag or shrink wrap into a box. 
 

Great suggestion!  I actually have a crystal clear bag that is self sealing from Clear Bags that I can slip them into. 
 This will work.  Thank you. 

You are right…they seem to be extinct!   Thanks again. 

TT…I  was pretty sure you would know lol.  
I will try Saffire Blue.  I really like these….

As always, thanks for your help .  

Hello all.  I am looking for these particular two piece clamshells.

(Tall Tayl...I first saw these used by you in one of our fall swaps).

These have a beveled cavity.

Does anyone know if  these are available anywhere? 

Thank you.

Barbara

Can you add where you purchased the "Awaken" fragrance oil?  I looked at NG but none listed by that name.  Thank you.

Good info from both of you!  I was just getting ready to make my second attempt at  some lip balm and this really helps!  Thank you!

Candles and Supplies sent out an email today saying they now stock them and that theirs is made in the USA …Same verbiage as Nightlight posted above.

Hi Belinda. This may be helpful in placing your wicks.

Where do you get Cyclo?  Is that it's full name?

Belinda...it is Cyclomethicone.   I got mine from RE/AH. 

I posted above my recipe which works really well for me.

I ran across this website that has some unique vessels for those of you that can afford them!

Best deal is cases ship FREE!   .

I use Cyclomethicone from AH/RE and it works very well for me.

In a one ounce spray bottle, I use .96 base and .04 fragrance.

Oh, I have not, I don't recall a cinnamon scent in the BCN one, but I wonder if this is close.  I appreciate the offer of a sample, are you sure you don't mind?

 No problem sending you a sample...just DM me on this platform with your Info.  Happy to help.  

Have you tried Candles and supplies?  I can send you a sample if you haven’t.

Thanks for looking. I got one of the nicest compliments from a fellow vendor friend of mine. He said when he walked into the booth that it felt 'refreshing'. 

 

I even had an ocean water lights projector and sea lanterns that all light up and the projector also plays music. But the sunlight was so bright you couldn't see the lantern or water images from the projector so I had to turn them off. If only you could see them they look so cool. Will wait to see if they work in an indoor venue.

 

Refreshing is exactly what I sensed when looking at your photos!  Looks awesome!!!

There's a video on YT using this method with dribbled wax and mica...gives you an idea
 

 

A visual!!!  Thanks so much, Lizzy.  
 

Sounds like a good idea.  I will give that a go.  Thanks TallTayl 👍

...to get this affect of the colors added to the top of the wax melts?

For the life of me I cannot figure it out!  Dyed wax perhaps dripped on the finished wax melts?  I just don't know!

They are back in business...some fragrances are OOS but many are available....

I have never been disappointed with their oils!
