love the smell of lilac:yay:

my dd loves this scent, thought i would throw this scent into the ring for the holiday crowds, i did look on the scent review board but couldn't find any info:confused: . has anyone used the scent from snowdrifts or anyother company???

mms used to have them however, they are no longer on their website:sad2:

i would not even mind the rounded bottom ( i usually get the straight bottom)

thanks everyone....

I too don't understand why they wouldn't give me the amounts or how to figure out the amounts to put in??? they did give the basic directions on how to place the wick etc. well, at least I am glad you guys are here to answer these questions:D .

I just rec'd my 1st kit from peaks, they gave me directions. however, the weird thing is they don't tell me how much wax or for that matter how to figure it out how much I need to use. also How much colorant and f/0 to put into the melting pot. They tell you the steps but no amounts. I think this is quite weird especially when you buy a kit and know nothing about

candle making. This is the main reason of me buying this kit to learn. so, If someone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it since It is snowing here and I would love to try to make my 1st candle. I have a round pillar mold 3 in x 6.5 inch.

I ordered my 1st kit from peak candles:drool: . Am I in trouble or what :whistle:

a while a go i wanted to know what company would be good to start to learn how to make candles. they sent me to peak for a starter kit however, someone told me to look into getting some wick pins. what do they do and what size would i need i want to get the pillar kit and the mold is 3 x 6.5 inches.

thanks peaks it is!!

now for the wick pins (i want to make pillars) the mold is 3 x 6.5

so should i get the pins that are : 3 x7 or 3 x 10?

i have so many f/os can they be used with candles instead of investing in

extra $$?

been doing the b & b for 3 yrs now and would love to try my hands on making candles (seems like fun:D) anyway this would be a christmas gift for me from my mom and dad so i get to pick it out!! I want to know what company makes a great kit with great detailed instructions so i could learn the basics of candle making.

thanks

yes you can whip m&p i make cupcakes this way. Its just not the same for bathbomb ideas.

so you just melt M & P and whip it up in my kitchen aide?

thanks that is what i thought too

is it really nessesary to put a preservitive in the lip gloss?

the taste is terrible just wondering.

I was just wondering if they are the same thing or is it just a marketing

thing (one sells better than the other?).

so are they the same thing? What should I call it?

I was just wondering if they are the same thing or is it just a marketing

thing (one sells better than the other?).

I have customers asking from time to time if i sell them, so i thought

with a bunch of craft fairs coming up i might as well.

I make body sprays using cme from lotioncrafters and I love this

stuff.

i would like to put like a bath bomb type of mixer into it and use it with my foot products.

anyone with any ideas?

cheryl

thanks i think i will give this a try

after the holiday rush!!

When I first started making these, I tried the string, but found it too time consuming. I ended up using the foamcore board (I believe it's shown the the Bittercreek site). It was fast and easy for me.

I always use clear base. I do my petals a bit different -- I don't sell them loose, I reconstruct the petals (and leaves) into an actual rose.

Here's a pic from my site: http://hanabotanicals.com/index_files/Page5842.htm

wow that is beautiful!!

so you buy the rose and cut it dip it and then

put it back together?

cheryl

Hi,

I usually put in 1oz pp

cheryl

has anyone ever done the string on a line to dip their petals?

cheryl

Hi there shouldn't be a problem. I have made small bb's

from the silicone ice cube trays from Ikea.

cheryl

these are sooo cute!!

oh me:D , I would love some of those wire bath tubs if anyone else would

want some as well?

cheryl

boy this proves I am new :embarasse ....

sorry i would like to learn about

Paraffin candles and they would probably

start with container candles.

Hi my name is Cheryl and I have been poking around here for awhile.

I have my own bath and body business that i am going into my 2nd year.

As of right now i can't sell candles due to my insurance carrier. I have

been looking into making candles for my own personal use and maybe if

I get good at it in time I would change my insurance and start selling ONLY if

i am good at it.

I have been looking at this website where they have the "basic instructions"

which it seems very helpful. However, how do i know what wax to use and

which wick works, is there a standard guidline for this? Also, if i just want to

start "playing around" should i purchase a kit or just buy piece by piece and what company would you recommend?

Thanks,

Cheryl
