  1. Welcome MTMade. Nice you are getting back into your candle making. It's good you found this forum this time around for advice and answers with you new wax adventure! My husband is Montana born and raised! It is such a beautiful BIG SKY COUNTRY ….I enjoy every visit we get to make.
  2. Trapp...my favorite Clean Cotton is from Peaks....and I have tried many others. Clean...strong cold and hot throw. Keystone sells Peaks version now though I never tried it. I can send you a sample of Peaks if you like. Just LMK.
  3. Yes...great inspiration and advice! I haven't sold in quite some time....this helps with the confidence level!
  4. I agree! Simple Green has been my go to all purpose cleaner for years. Nice that it is non- toxic and biodegradable.
  5. I did a quick search for pewter charms and you may find something here: https://factorydirectcraft.com/catalog/products/1302_1694_2439-36266-silver_horseshoe_charms.html
  6. Jeeze, Trapp.....you have worked your magic again! I like the white font. Kinda stands out so customers can see right off that it is a candle with a good purpose. Between the two different labels....I cannot pick! Both are adorable.
  7. Oh my GLS....those are very interesting and I bet they work really well. I especially like that they would be easy to clean Looks like I need to google. So many great suggestions!
  8. Tall Tayl. Great idea on crimping these. I have crimped a pour pot in the past....never thought of doing it to these little dudes! Thanks for the suggestion. Barb
  9. Thanks everone...Gonna give this fast pouring a shot!
  10. Thank you Aptommo! Those look great! Putting them in my Amazon cart now!
  11. I make such a mess pouring into tiny cavity molds....I have yet to find something that has a narrow enough spout to help keep the wax IN the cavity instead of all over the mold. I would love to know if there is actually something out there that would make pouring more precise! Thanks, Barb
  12. I actually saw these candle warmers in Hobby Lobby. If they are not on sale, there is always a 40% off coupon you can use .
  13. Aztec has pretty darn good deals on cases of 6 warmers. They average about 9 dollars each.
  14. Suzanne....you sure have very special people in your life! And that label....it made me smile REALLY BIG as soon as I saw it!
  15. They are all so gorgeous. I think the first one represents the meaning behind it the best. You are so talented, Trapp. Thinking of you all the time.
  16. Trapp....would you consider packaging them in a polypropylene bag to cut down the cost? You could pretty them up with twine or ribbon, etc.
  17. Trapp...CBL 125 is solid and comes in slabs....I use zinc wicks with this wAx. I am in NJ this weekend, will be home Tuesday....I will send you some of this wax to test so please save your money for something else to order!
  18. I don’t trim my wicks until the wax hardens...cannot put the lid on it right after pouring. But when I zap the candle with a heat gun to fill in sink holes, I immediately put the lid on...it seems to help get a smooth result.
  19. Yep..the sprinkles are the ones you use on cakes...perfectly safe!
  20. Peak stiil sells it... https://peakfragrances.com/collections/o-z/products/red-currant Keystone has the Peak dupe: https://keystonecandlesupplies.com/collections/fragrance-oils/products/copy-of-sunflower-peak
  21. Birdie...if you are interested in the candle wax pens....try Ebay. That is where I found mine and it was free shipping.
  22. Another option? I just remembered Hopie posted this: https://www.craftserver.com/topic/113035-eyeballs-and-wachs-wax-paint/?tab=comments#comment-1068866
  23. I had to order it online ( the same one on the right)...it was hard to find in the craft stores near me. Made no sense! I went to Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and JoAnn’s.
  24. I am with Candybee. The first one . It is the ‘cleanest’ looking, IMO. And your pine tree is awesome!
