  1. Just finishing up a order for christmas. 3 gift baskets and 6 dipped critters ughhhh! Have fun in Cali.
  2. Actually gum drops are differnt colors so you could really color them anything you want. Green,red or yellow or make layered candles using differnt types of colors.
  3. Well then it wouldn't be pure if you cut it with something lol J/k i know.. i know it was a bad joke. Seriously though im not sure what you could use to stretch it some more. Maybe you could check a search engine that will show you what "scent to mix with other scents to make new scents" Sorry couldn't be better help
  4. I love mistletoe fo by lonestar ..........and my favorite apple has got to be apples&berries fo from cajun candle. Actually there aren't to many apple fragrances that i didnt like lol. Anything apple i love.
  5. Thats exactly how i would figure it out
  6. Hi Dana I never read a book on candlemaking, I just read these forums and other forums. Don't be scared about attemping to make your first candle... You need patience , expect fustration and mistakes (its only normal) Then if you keep following through on advice from others and your own intuitions & allow yourself patience you will get great satisfaction from your candles. (even the candlemaking pro's still come across frustion from time to time)Candlemaking isn't easy by far ,theres alot of testing involved but very rewarding and who knows this time next year you could be giving candles to family and friends for the holidays.:highfive: Good Luck and when you do make your first candle then post a pic for us to see!
  7. Welcome aboard Jen, I cant give you any ideas because i only do m&P soap and Candles...Dont know nothing about bath & body products. Just wanted to say hi and welcome aboard and you also have a great holiday.:highfive:
  8. i make wax dipped silk flowers (scented ofcourse:grin2: ) Add some foliage then wrap in cellophane like a bouqet.
  9. i think they are adorable :highfive: . I really need to make some time to get to the dollar stores
  10. lol my husband is the same way. He loves when i start racking up the orders. He wouldn't care if i couldn't even cook as long as im making the money:laugh2:
  11. They are beautiful.. that looks like it was alot of work. Good luck with sales:highfive: . What are they scented with?
  12. I made the snowballs again tonight and im going to let them sit a day or 2 and test burn using the cd8's. I appreciate the offer to send me a few 10's if the 8's don't work. Thank you so much for all your help.
  13. actually i sprinkled glitter on the outside of the 1st candle and it did look really pretty.........I dont knoe if it was candle glitter but the glitter was almost like a dust instead of regular craft glitter. So hopefully that is ok to use.:embarasse I will try the cd8 next burn test. Your help is greatly appreciated.
