my witch and cat are under fall down to the bottom..

Thank you, I am going to make them for myself. I am off to purchase them. she is selling them for .25 ea. and the votives are .10. cant pass this up.

thanks again.

hi everyone,

I am hoping someone can help me out. I went to a garage sale yesterday and this lady was selling candles from her store at really great prices. She was going out of business. my question is she has 576 tappers , i dont use tappers but was wondering if i could melt them down and add some scent and make votives with them? they are all unscented.

I have to let her know this morning if i want them.

I just wanted to let you know that it happens with all crafters. I work with mainley wood, just started making melters. my second craft show I did, some lady came up and bought a lot of my things , I was at the time very excited. She had told me about another craft show to go too and set up at. I thought she was being nice and helpful. My friend and I went to the show a couple weeks later just to check it out. as we were walking around I stopped at a booth and looked at my friend and said "That is my snowman then kept looking and found my skies"I couldnt believe it. My friend went up and asked the lady there if she made these and she said yes..... that really p--sed! Me off. I didnt know what to say, I am very quiet. I looked at her , she recongnized me and turned her head. I wish I knew what to say.

Isnt it sad that people do this. I would never think of doing something like that.I like to be original, I hate to have the same thing as everyone else.

I need help with what to say as well when people ask to many questions. and buy your things and say they make it. When I put all the time in making them. and to top it off she was selling it double of what she bought it for.

thank you... I wish I would of thought to ask before I shipped them all back... I just checked the site and they were the PET ones. everyone here is so helpful.... Thanks again.

I hope I am putting this in the right section. Hi everyone,I was wondering if anyone ever put fragrance in plastic botles. I ordered bottles thinking they were glass . I was wondering if they would work or not. they were the 1 oz. with a sprayer.thanks for any info.

Thank you, I thought that as well.Just had to ask to keep my hubby happy..lol I do this in my garage . I really dont have a window in the area but I am able to open the doors if I need to.

did I offend anyone? the only reason i asked is my husband and parents are worried of the smell i am breathing all the time.I said I didnt think it was but, I would ask here and see.If someone would chime in i would appreciate it.

hi everyone, i (my Husband) wants to know if the vapors from the candle wax and scents have ever been tested to cause cancer?any info would be appreciated. thank you

Has anyone seen dupes out there for the new yankee spring scents? I saw Sun & Sand at WSP....$$$$..........anywhere else? Island Spa is another good one but, I haven't seen it anywhere at all. i bought the car freshner for Sun & Sand and it smells very beachy....suntan oil and such. Very good! Suppliers: Any of these in the pipline?

Have you tried www.fragranceoilfinder.com I just read this a couple of days ago.Hope this helps you.

Hi everyone, I just ordered lids with a sealed cardboard attached inside the lid. Has anyone used these? I had the same problem with the plastic covers too.I thought that this would be better... I hope.

Deidra

Thank you all so much for all your opionions...I cant wait to check these out...I didnt realize there were so many out there. I am going to be up late tonight...LOL

Not a problem any info is so appriciated....I use paraffin wax from cjrobinson .again I bought that as well from the other owner.I have never heard anyone mention this as well.I hope I am using good quality stuff.I have made melters and so far everyone seems to like them... Thanks so much for all your help.

Thank you,I dont like rose myself, It gives me a headache when I make it... but, someone wants me do do some roses in that scent. would I type in cajuncandles for the web site?

Thank you. I will check these out. I have only bought from them and bittercreek. I bought the oils first form someone who went out of business. I never thought I would be doing candles .I usually work with wood but, now I am loving this candle making.... I am going to try NG today and then I will check out the others. I need to find a good Rose scent.

Hi everyone,I have been doing a lot of reading. I was wondering what every ones opionion was about the top 5 suppliers out there. so far I think a lot of you like NG. I started off just doing dipped animals and then made some melters. Since I have been reading I really want to do more candles as well. I have a lot more reading to do.I love a good challenge. I havent seen the supplier I am using . Have any of you heard of candlechem? I like there scents and I really like the $5.00 flat shipping rate. I was wondering if NG 's quality is the same or better then candlechem? It seems that Ng has more scents to choose from. I really like a strong fragrance candle...

any info would be greatly appreciated... I need to place another order soon. Thank you

Hi everyone, I am still working on my site as well. I dont have any candles on yet. I am new to the candle making .I usually work with wood. I am loving the challenge of making candles.:rolleyes2

I was also wondering has anyone ever worked with robwax 2309? I have read soooo much on this site and never heard anyone mention this wax.

I just love this site..

Deidra

oh ya my site is www.deescraftsny.com hope to have it done soon. any input good or bad is greatly appreciated..

i just wanted to thank you all again, My votives turned out this time.patience is the key thing with candles.I did have to do 2 repours but, they are nice and smooth on top.

Deidra

Thank you for all your suggestions and help. I will be trying this again this afternoon. I will let you know tomorrow. Linnyeg,you are right I was doing alot of repours.I will definitly wait till they cool before I do a repour.

Thanks again.

Deidra:D

Thank you, I will do that . There is so much to learn.and there is so much info here. I have alot more reading to do..

I put them in the fridge thinking it would cool faster... guess you cant rush this...

I waited maybe 1/2 hour before I did a re pour.someone told me that if I waited to long that the wax will split off the top.Is that true?I actually did 3 repours they looked really nice before I put them in the fridge. I will not do that again.
