http://www.candlewic.com/Thumbnail.aspx?i=m-112.jpg&w=96 Tin Floating Candle Mold $0.48 per unit [ VIEW VOLUME PRICING | ORDER NOW ] Candles made in floater / tart candle molds can be used to float in water in a center piece and or a party favor. These molds are seamless and made from www.candlewic.com These are the molds that I use....if you watch the site they often go on sale for 2/1. So I can buy 200 for $48.00. I actually caught a sale at .18 a piece. They are great and I have hundreds of them. FYI..I don't pre package my tarts in the drawstring bags...what I do is display them in divider box, much like a utility tray. I let the buyer choose the scents. I sell them .75 each and then 2/1.00. Cost me about .12 to make. So I avergage 4x my cost. That includes wax, scent, coloring and packageing. ML

Not sure what you mean by "suck up the tart scent"? If you mean does the wrap absorb the scent, no it does not. I use the drawstring bags that pull from both sides and then tie it. Since I use Soy...the tarts are soft, I use the bees was because it gives the soy a shine. I use the tart molds form Candlewic and they make an one ounce tart. I think you girls have made some sense here.....I will chage my selling strategy and tell my customers to use two tarts...then I will sell more:yay: Mary Lou

Agreed, I am not crazy about many of KY's scents. However, Vicky has a very loyal customer base. Most of her scents are sweet and bakery. I must tell you that there is one scent that i have used for years and is one if my best sellers "Lemon Pound Cake". Customers go crazy for it. I did learn a long time ago that it is not what I like but what my customers like. If I just used scents that I personally prefered I would be selling a lot less product. Mary Lou:rolleyes2

www.tonysfragranceoils.com Tony's has an excellent one. Mary Lou

Lynn, what is your ratio of wax to FO, and how large are your tarts? The reason I ask is because I use 1 lb soy, 1 ounce bees wax, and 1 ounce FO. My tarts are basically 1 ounce each. I have a a large home with 20 foot ceilings and one tart does kitchen, living room, den, dining room and loft. The scent is very strong. Mary Lou PS...the reason I use the stretch wrap is because soy is softer and tends to smear the bags. So the stretch wrap keeps the bags nice and clear.

You know I heard all the negativity on several boards...but not specific. However, I will share this with you. http://www.mabelwhite.com/Library/SoapsMeltNPour.pdf She put this out many years ago and it was a huge help to me at the time. The recipes especially. Through experience I found that this was not the most accurate but at the time it was most helpful. Mary Lou

I wrap them individually in some stretch wrap (from Sams) and them place them in a clear draw string bag. HTH Mary Lou

How about a, in addition to the warning label on the bottom, you secure a hang tag with some approriately colored elastic cording. mary lou

Love the cinnamon splotches. The labels are great...but I do agree that perhaps a darker print would make it all POP! Mary lou

Hi Theresa, I make the crystal Potpourri also....but I don't think those stones are water softner pellets. The are too uniform. Mary Lou
