I just love the way you did the tealights too cute!

Looks really nice, wish I was brave enough to try something like that. Very creative.

Your candles look very professional, love the labels

I use J223 with mine and the only time I have ever had any trouble getting them out of the mold was when I tried taking them out to soon. Other than that the J223 has worked just fine for me. I am loving my tealight mold. Makes pouring scented tealights so much easier.

It depends on your oil. With most of my oils a 44-32-18 works fine, but with some I have to use a 51-32-18. When I'm testing I always start with the smaller wick size first.

Those look great! What kind of wicks did you use for your tealites?

I have spray painted the tops gold, they looked really nice. A lot of people commented on how cute they looked.

I like the Georgia Peach from Bluegrass, its a real good seller for me.

That looks amazing!

I use the Buttnaked form Carolina Candle Supplies its a strong thrower in my J223.

There Bed of Roses, Montego Bay, Georgia Peach, Apple Pie Spice, Red Delicious and Lemon Zest are really good.

Those buckets are too cute!

Beautiful containers! Love your label very professional looking...

Bluegrass has a awesome Lemon Zest. Its a nice clean smell. A good one to burn when your in a cleaning mood.

They all look very nice!

I really like the Pearberry from Bluegrass Candle Supply.

My tealights scent up my living room, but I have about 8 burning at the same time.

I have a question for those of you who use the plastic tealight cups from Candlechem. Do tealights made with the tealight mold from Candlewic fit in the cups? They have a auction going on right now on ebay, but I didn't want to bid on them if they would'nt work for me. Thanks in advance.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

Thanks, everyone for your suggestions. I'm just wondering if the wacking wouldn't damage something? Hope this is not a dumb question. :embarasse

I just recently started making votives and I was wondering if there is a easy way to remove the wick pin without messing up the bottom?

Does anyone know if there is place where you can get votive molds that look like p---ylite votives? My sister wants me to make her some and so far I haven't been able to find any molds. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

I find for me 8 ounce jelly jars sell real good. It all depends on how much a person is willing to spend. I would have a hard time selling a larger jar. Some people do better with the larger jars. Its all according to the market in your area.

I use J223 and sometimes I'm very impatient, once I pour my candle and it sets up I burn it the same day. I have had a few oils that may need a day or two to cure, but for me if it throws that same day its a winner.

Right now I'm charging $5 for my jelly jars but come Jan 1, I am raising my price to $6.00 to keep up with the rising costs of supplies. I will give a discount if purchased in 3's and do 3 for $15.00.

I like your labels, I think they are adorable.
