I really want to use DIYestore but they are still not accepting new clients. Their website says no signups until after the new year but they sent me an email saying they don't have an exact date yet. Is there any other place out there like them that anyone has used and liked? Any recommendations? I have my grapics already to go.

Wow i use way too much in mine. But i only plan on selling wickless and i want them to be the strongest.

Oh cool! Thanks, i didn't know that about color. i have some old blocks that i am trying to get rid of so i can use only liquid. i hate the little specks the blocks sometime leaves. thanks!

The way they set it up is you enter in how much it would cost per minute. So lets say i am paying someone or myself $8 an hour. That is about .13 a min. So 1.30 per item but there is not anywhere to put if i make they by the batch. So yes i have been putting $.01 per minute (which is .13/10= .01) do you use this program too?

Bruce, Is there much of a noticable difference between using 2 oz of FO per lb and 1 1/2 FO per lb in a tart?

Sherl, How much fo do you use per lb of wax?

the one thing that i can't out is the time cost. like if i put that it takes 10 mins to make a wickless jar it will calculated the cost but what if i make 10 at a time?

Hi, I did end up buying it too! I love it so far and i had a question for Jason and he emailed me right away! have you tried doing it by oz? So when you sell a tart you are selling an oz not a lb for a dollar. That is what i did with my products. When i entered in my wax i said that i buy by the case but the units i used where oz. So it is 960 oz per case(16 oz x 60 lbs). So when i made up the componets in my wickless i put that i used 15 oz of wax, 1.8 oz of fo, and one glass jar and it calculates the cost of each. i hope that makes sense. (i haven't figued out how i am going to do color cuz how do know how many drops in a little bottle?)

i am trying to order from nasville wraps but what is the difference between cello bags and poly bags. I want them for gift baskets. Clear cello basket bags Crystal clear polypropylene bags stocked sized for basket size or large gifts. Stocked in a wide variety of sizes to fit baskets, basket boxes and larger gift items. Bags are made from deluxe 1.2 mil crystal clear polypropylene and meets FDA requirements for direct/indirect food contact. Heat Sealable and offers excellent moisture & aroma barriers. and Clean poly basket bags Clear bags for baskets & gifts! No Heat, No Fuss…Just Bag it and Deliver it! Several sizes available. These bags are made from 1.25 mil. polypropylene (not cello grade) and are available in mini-packs of 25 or cartons of 100. Basket-Bags have a slightly softer feel than cello film but good body and support like cello. Basket-Bags are heat sealable, but don't shrink. Available in several popular sizes.

oh yeah and i was looking at the training videos and it said you can have more than one business on it too.

There was a discussion in the candle making area regarding the craft business management system and i was wondering if anyone has tried this? http://www.craftingsoftware.com/candle-making.htm

Has anyone else tried the Craft business management system? I am just playing around with the trial version but it seems really neat. i just wanted to make sure someone else is using it before i try it too. $200 is a lot of money.

That is what i am going to charge min. 1$ an oz.

Have you tried DIYestores.com?

wow, how did you do that? And that was with left overs?! Nice.

All of them are #5? I like the black ones!

I looked at the site and i could not find where it is rated #5?

yeah, i downloaded the free version and it looks very interesting. Has any bought it yet? Do you guys think it would be helpful for beginners?

it is very pretty. Looks easier to work with than cello.

That looks great Dean, Where do you get that bag? They look better than the cello or shrink wrap i think.

OMG that is a big help. so i can use it in my labels and websites?! Nice! Thank you so much!

Thank You, Scented! That means alot coming from an expert like you! Merry Christmas!
