Might not be exactly what you wanted but you have a way of making it work!! I kinda like the fact that it's not perfect. I can't believe what you do with wax!!

I think they both look neat! It's been awhile since I've done swirl candles, and I don't have any pictures. I'm not sure how you did your swirl, but maybe if you pour your base color about one third in the jar, swirl that, the pour more base and try to stay in that area for the second third part and swirl that, and the last part??? Just a suggestion. :undecided What ever you did with the Peaches & Cream, it worked really well!!

Very nice looking!! Do you mind sharing what you used for the black? TIA

Looks great!! You're on your way now. I've forgotten the fo once so far....I'm sure there will be others.

It's not as bad as I had invisioned before I looked at it! I was afraid to look . But you know that looks aren't everything.

Good save! Looks awesome!

That is really cool looking!

And look at you!! What a great feeling of accomplishment this is for you! Hope you stay busy because of your article! You are an inspiration! Keep up the Great Work!!

What an awesome shop!! Congrats to you!! Like previous post said, wouldn't that be a shame that you have to stop your full time job to keep up with sales!! Hope your parents can help you and give you a little rest. But by the looks alone, I'd think everyone would have to come in and buy something!! Way to go!! Best Wishes!

Love that look! I wanna smell

Thanks for getting the picture bigger! Seems the older I get the less I see.. I like the chunks in there.

Wish the picture was bigger. I'd love to get a close up of it! Looks nice! I like the look of chunks in soap! Keep it up.

That's a pretty neat set-up you got there Grumpy! I like it!

Can't wait to see the cut pictures! Way to go!

Those are really nice!

Can you clean that one up? It's still a pretty candle w/o the extra white wax attached. Can it be saved?

I like the 3 in front. They are different and pretty.

Those are really pretty!!

LMAO!! You got that right!! It is soaked with wax thru and thru!! I don't think you'll find a dry patch in there. But it's a smell good decoration. And they were a hit with the Teachers! I finally found a way to use up some of my 1oz samples!! LOL And I don't have to test!!

I don't seriously think anyone would try to use these! They wouldn't be able to get them taken apart enough to use. I've label with every warning possible.

Ladysj, We waited till the TP was set then used Hot Glue guns. They worked perfect! We cut the back of the flowers and leaves as close to the backs as possible, then applied hot glue and attached to the tp. Just be careful, the glue has a way of finding your fingertips!! OUCH!! HTH

Thanks!! I tried dipping bears long ago, but I couldn't sell those for squat!! But these really peaked interest with the women. All of these were scented with Baby Powder. I had done some up for Mother's Day for my mom, dd and dil. They loved them so much, I thought why not for teachers?? These don't take much wax, and don't take much time to set, and you can do so much with your imagination! DD had fun and now I found a way to keep her busy and to make a little cash for our summer vacation!!

Those are really nice! Bet she will love them!

I figured this was the best place to put these?? Except for the first picture which is made with Paper Mache', the rest are wax related. I don't recall posting any of my stuff before now....but I just had to share the end of the year Teacher Gifts that were made by my grandson 7, daughter 13 and me (much older..lol). We had fun making these and I've embraced Dipped Toilet Paper!! Here are pictures of our gifts. Teacher Apple Pencil Holder For Grandson's Teacher 1st Grade http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/Beginner101/100_0932.jpg Decorated Dipped Toilet Paper Mostly for DD's teachers On some of these (especially the brown one, my dd made this one first, but then her creative juices started flowing, and I think hers look like she has been doing these for some time! http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/Beginner101/100_0933.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/Beginner101/100_0934.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/Beginner101/100_0936.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/Beginner101/100_0938.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/Beginner101/100_0939.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/Beginner101/100_0940.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/Beginner101/100_0943.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/Beginner101/100_0945.jpg Two of her male teachers got candles. They were just plain candles in jelly jars, and didn't think they were show worthy. School is officially out as of today, and the Teachers loved them!! I am actually getting orders for these now. Thanks for looking!

What Robert didn't explain well in his post was that when we were checking out, the cashier was instructed by the cash register to call for a manager. She did this and the manager said "We can't sell this, it's been recalled". That's when Robert told her he didn't plan on burning it, if that made a difference. I told her she had better take the rest of these candles off the shelf then, because there were alot of these sitting over there! Do you think she left us to go over there to check it out??? NO!! She just went on about her business! When we took off the bottom label, it's no wonder that the wick moves and makes the jar hot!! It's not attached to the bottom of the jar!! How do they mass produce and manage to just stick a wick in, without attaching it to the bottom?? This is a brand new Dollar Tree that opened in our area, and has more room and very thing is not in boxes in the isles, like the older one we have close by. Why would they be sending Recalled candles to a new store?? I will be writing to the Dollar Tree Office and explaining this and see where that leads to. :rolleyes2 On a side note, I did find some neat stuff for teacher gifts for the end of school!! Gotta love it, when you have 9-10 teachers to give to!!
