soap guild does insure candle makers also - BUT you have to have a portion of your sales in soap.
-
I just signed up w/the Soap Guild - not much more than Brower - plus you could defer payment w/PayPal and pay over 6 mths w/no interest. Brower was my first choice but they don't write in Louisiana and the Soap Guild wasn't that much more - plus you get a few member benefits that I liked - free webstore and discounts w/some vendors I already use. Good Luck!

Thanks! We do candles, soaps, scrubs, fizzies, lotion sticks ... and I see where it does cover those also. I'll continute to check them out - they're actually not much more than the one I was going to pay for but they couldn't write a policy in Louisiana!
-
... where do you get it??? I've been searching and can't locate anyone to write a policy. Problem w/some is that I sell to a few retail stores. Any suggestions ... from anyone??? Thanks!

i realize this is an old post - and may not require a response anymore - but what i've started doing is buying the clear labels from onlinelables.com and after printing i spray them 3 or 4 times w/Fixit spray that i buy at michaels. works great so far.

i've just started buying their foaming bath whip - anyone else know where i can get it at a better price? paying $135.48 for 32 lbs. - i've looked around, but w/shipping to louisiana it all comes out the same, if not more but maybe i'm missing someone? i hate that it takes them 3 days to ship out - i don't like waiting!! lol

great idea for the bath melts! i always use the mini muffin cups but these are very cute! i gave up on bath bombs a long time ago and just make them loose and package in tea bags! the weather here is too crazy for them to work!

What to charge for a baby food jar candle???
k&g replied to tam1116's topic in General Candle Making Discussions
I asked around - put out signs at local OB/GYN's, Pediatrician's - asked day care places - posted on Facebook - got people to spread the word for me and I picked up the jars from different locations. I asked for a particular size and mostly got what I asked for. I rewashed the jars (you can soak a lot of jars in your tub) and removed the labels and spray painted the lids. I preferred to recycle the jars than buy new ones. Took a little time to gather all that I have, but once people found out about it, I had no problem getting what I needed. -
What to charge for a baby food jar candle???
k&g replied to tam1116's topic in General Candle Making Discussions
I've done them as favors for a wedding - she ordered 100 so I only charged her $2.50 - it was an easy order - only 2 different colors and all the same scent. I'm about to use all the scents I'm discontinuing in baby food jars just to get rid of the mass amt of jars and the scents and was thinking I would charge $3/each. -
WOW ... I had never heard of this - guess because we don't have a lot of 'in ground' graves down here - water level too high. I had to google to see what y'all were talking about. Some of these are really pretty - and I understand the reasoning behind them. Learn something new every day!
-
Thanks for the response! I was wondering if there would be anything less expensive than the Candle Warmer as they are still priced at $3.50/each + shipping for wholesalers. Not much of a profit to be made on these. I'd just like to offer them as a convenience for customers - but still make some profit!
-
What supplier(s) do you use to purchase the basic electric wamers? They are normally white. Thanks.
-
scented, i may have mis-read - but would the 1oz push up tubes be ok - the best price i've found for those (besides the classies) is at cottonblossomcrafts.com. these sell really well for me. good luck!

EXACTLY what I thought when I saw the picture!!
-
here's a thought ... if the water gathers in the gutter won't it just pour over on either the front or the back of the tents - or is the set up a little slanted so it goes down the backside? You might want to have the front portion a little higher so it creates a slant for the water to drain down the back of the 'tent divide'. Does that makes sense?
-
ok - I lied :embarasse - I do have another question! Does anyone spray the mold with anything to get the 'crayons' to come out easier? We had a tough time getting them out - did put them in the freezer for a while - but it was still a task to remove them. I brought a 'prototype' to work this week and have orders for 12 boxes for next week. Plus we have a craft fair this weekend and we want to bring some along. We'll be up all night trying to get the soap to release from the mold! Any suggestions appreciated.
-
thanks! the powdered milk is a little high here also - but of course there's a lot more stuff that i'm thinking of getting instead!! thanks again for the linkE
-
how pretty - love the colors
-
hummmm ... might have to print some out at work!! one last question (I promise:o )- is it printed on heavy stock paper?
-
that box is sooo cute ... do you print each out yourself? asking cause it must use a lot of ink!!
-
unfortunately no amish around here ... only cajuns!! but that's what i'd like to find - someone that sells it in bulk around here. i'd be happy to store 20lbs of the stuff - just no one sells it like that around here - that i've found yet.
-
ok - happened to talk to someone that just bought dry milk at Sam's and said it was still in the $11 range!! I'm headed there tomorrow before they realize they need to raise their price!!
-
I agree!! I love this stuff ... tweek it a little every now and then. Also, for the last craft show I changed the name from Body Lotion Bar to Moisturizing Stick! Sold waaaay better ... People don't get the 'lotion' part - they think lotion should be liquid.
-
Thanks - thought of that, but they are owned by WW company so figured it'd be the same. When I had checked before months ago - it was the same price as WW. So I figured if one went up the other would also. I'm wondering if anyone has bought from companies like Sysco (serves restaruants) and such.
