  7. here is a way my group does them .. using modge podge matte or gloss finish .. either or .. rub the whole lid down with it .. turn it upside down an dip into a bowl with a mixture of ground cinnamon, ground coffee , ground nutmeg and ground pumpkin .. let set then coat with more modge podge .. takes no time at all once you start going .. i've done as many as 50 an hour
  8. citronella does absolutly nothing for skeeto control in my state , i have found that vanilla scented candles do a much better job on them and other bugs at night
  9. i use embed wax coated wicks for my tealights .. the wax the wick is dipped in is much higher than the wax i'm pouring so no drooping .. also .. wick pins are a girls BEST FRIEND for ALL CANDLE making

  11. i was afraid to post this .. but it's just my opinion .. i hope it doesnt offend as not intended to ... I wouldnt label them as rustic .. more shabby chic/ modern country rustic is natural muted colors .. earth tones .. not pastels ... It came out GORGEOUS! though ..

  16. i buy all my container wax from www.candlesandsupplies.com an its so soft .. one brand is so soft it comes in a bag as it can not be made into slabs .. but thats not a soy one .. for soy .. there container wax is so soft .. i use it on my elbows strait out of the box if i'm having a dry skin day lol
  17. you can also try shipping them upright an useing enough packing peanuts or bubble wrap so it doesnt lean over an put on it .. liquid .. this end up. I love that idea of sending the sprayer an sealing it with a regular lid
  18. i use www.candlesandcupplies.com an barbara's shipping is ups an prices are fabulous ... but i'm only an hour away .. so that does help on my shipping costs
  19. i do 50% off retail prices with product minimum not a price minimum

  21. you can use regular cello bags .. to line the box with the come in dozens of differant sizes
  22. Honestly .. what i would do .. is after its cooled on top when your done with the last pour .. use a hair dryer on high an warm the edge of the mold on the outside .. had this problem once an this fixed it for good.
