I recently got into candle making, mainly as a hobby and to gift to friends and family. Well, an acquaintance of mine owns a small store and every December she runs a 'homemade craft fair' in the store for local vendors to sell. My husband is really encouraging me to do it, but I'm feeling unprepared. The shop is quite small and very niche (only baby products apart from when she does this far) so it's not like there would be a lot of traffic and sales, but I have concerns.
So far I've only done 3 batches of candles and they turned out great, but I feel like that's just luck given all I've read on this forum about how long it can take to really get the hang of this craft. But besides the products themselves, I feel like there is so much I'd need to figure out in the next six weeks - insurance, warning labels (I've just been using the CS ones), safety instruction cards, product labels with all the required info, and I'm sure even more that I haven't thought of yet, even though I've been reading through this forum like crazy.
Do you think it would be crazy to try to get all these things sorted in the next six weeks, and also make the candles themselves? Has anyone gone from 0 to 60 and want to share their experience?
Thanks in advance!
