flcandles

Well, maybe you could plug your presto pot into the cigarette lighter, let the candles cool on the roof

not sure where you would keep your FO's though, maybe the console?

lmao :highfive:

Just finishing up a order for christmas. 3 gift baskets and 6 dipped critters ughhhh! Have fun in Cali.

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.

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

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.

Beautiful memorial for Lori.

For this wax we used 1 oz FO per lb (16 oz of wax) so, if I were making a 4 oz candle, I would use 1/4 oz FO.

HTH

Thats exactly how i would figure it out

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!

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:

i make wax dipped silk flowers (scented ofcourse:grin2: )

Add some foliage then wrap in cellophane like a bouqet.

i think they are adorable :highfive: . I really need to make some time to get to the dollar stores

My DH is always happy when the kitchens full of candles .... he knows that's a sign that he'll be getting some of his money back:laugh2:

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:

They are beautiful.. that looks like it was alot of work. Good luck with sales:highfive: .

What are they scented with?

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.

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.

OOOHHH maybe that was the problem (using a whip wax) I didnt know i had to make sure the wax was packed good,,, hhmmm i will definitly pack tightly this time. I wish i knew how to post a pic but it gets me balled up all the time , i will try tomorrow when i have more brain function:tiptoe:

Thank you so much for your reply.. Im going to make another a pack it good this time. Ionly have

cd-16

cd-8

cd-14

cd-12

cd-6

and lx-26

Dont know anything about these types of wicks, i recieved them as part of a "lot" on the classifieds.

Do you have any suggestions on what wick to start off with?:undecided

Thanks again

about 4 inches across, and about 4 inches in height.

Gee thanks for posting a comment.

Ill try that thanks.

maybe you should go down a size.

HTH

I made a snowball candle about 4 days ago and finally lit it to test burn yesterday, I used 50/50 pillar votive wax from farmhouse , peppermint FO from lonestar and 44-24-18 zinc wick. well The first burn was about for 3 to 4 hours and it just looked beautiful, so earlier today i relit it for another 3 0r 4 hours and when i just peeked in on it closely i had a blowout:mad: . Why did this happen? Is it the wick? should i go down in a siz?

P.S

I made the snowball without a mold. It was just a corecandle and then did the whipped grubbywax all around it to shape it to a ball.

Any suggestions please:rolleyes2

I think its a good idea, and if you make halloween ornies too. I'm going to check the stores.

Thank you snow, that is also a good idea for the ornies. Check soon in the stores because im not sure how long they keep them on clearence for.

Violetsexoticcandles im going to check the strenght of these bags, im going to just keep them for crafts shows and homeshows to be on the safe side, I hope i dont forget i have these next year

Thanks

Very pretty , is it scented?

Noooooo ... its not for kids:shocked2: . It was for us to use as little baggies for our small items for next year, maybe something differnt for us to try or atleast for me to try. Just figure i would give and get some ideas to everyone because there so cheap right now if people liked the idea they should go soon to the stores and hit the clearence sales before all those items are gone till next halloween.:smiley2:

oh well guys... no need to comment.... i thought i had a good idea:undecided

Put tarts or votives in those halloween goodie bag (tht candy normally goes into) when you have craft shows or home shows? I was at CVS and they are having a 90 percent off sale on there halloween items and i seen the packages for .10, I couldn't think fast enough what to use them for so i grab a dollars worth and i figure i would think about it later,,,,using them for tarts or votives is what i came up with so far for next year. Has anyone ever did that? Maybe i have given you guys something new to try for next year.

Let me know what you guys think. If you like the idea then go now while there on clearance.
