I have been asked by a friend who owns a honey company to produce some beeswax candles for his Xmas baskets. He would like 1,000 small votive candles (2 oz candles). He will be supplying me with all the beeswax. I am having difficulty quoting him a price.
Looking for suggestions/recommendations on how to charge for my work and the candles. Do I charge per candle? the hours I put in to make the candles? both? The following is what he is providing and what I am providing:
HIM:
- Beeswax (enough for 1,000 2 oz small votive candles)
One Thousand Beeswax Candles - How Much To Charge?

Greetings,
I have been asked by a friend who owns a honey company to produce some beeswax candles for his Xmas baskets. He would like 1,000 small votive candles (2 oz candles). He will be supplying me with all the beeswax. I am having difficulty quoting him a price.
Looking for suggestions/recommendations on how to charge for my work and the candles. Do I charge per candle? the hours I put in to make the candles? both? The following is what he is providing and what I am providing:
HIM:
- Beeswax (enough for 1,000 2 oz small votive candles)
- 2 oz aluminum molds
- Some wicks
ME:
- 2 oz aluminum molds
- Some wicks
- Time producing the candles.
Thanks!
