PixieWick

I renamed mine to butterscotch crunch , cause thats what it smells like to me

i've never ordered from there before .. but i'm not an apple scent person .. just dont like that scent .. but if customers do then i make it lol

i like ICS's variety pack special .. 10 1 oz bottles or 15.00

so i always buy from there ..

yea .. i've had that happen .. just let it burn off for a lil bit .. till the melt pool gets to the edge of the glass .. dip it to put it out ... an trim the wick an you should be good to go .. its no biggie when that happens ..

for the next time .. instead of useing a hair dryer/heatgun .. just use your fingers .. pinch the wick an slide up an off to take the exsess wax off .. so the wick stays primmed ..

see if that helps ..

I need to find a tested an approved good quality wine line of scents

cabernet

merlot

chardonay

and

champagne

an what ever else there is

I was asked by a friend who is a wine distributor , to come up with wine samples .. for a new line they might want to incorp. with there products in gift baskets

i've done some research an found these oils at places i've never heard of so i never tried them , also found them to be almost 4 times in price of that in basic candle fo's. this might be an expensive candle line lol

would love some opinions on places you all have tried , so i may try them

thank you

I was just going to post on the cab. one .. do you find it true in scent ?

i'll check out the chocolate dec. one when i order .. what strength did you buy from SOS ? there options confuse me sometimes lol:laugh2:

:yay:

when do you have time to sleep ?

HOLY MOLY !!!!!!

Thats one rockin set of candles lady ! :laugh2:

LOOOOOOOOOVE THE LOOK !! has sorta a .. gothic appeal to them .. i know a ton of women who would love to have them

hhows that scent going for ya ? i havent found a fig i like .. except biscotti/fig .. i need to find a nice fig fig scent for my brother in law

i have tons of them jars in my basement .. my cousin gave me .. never used them .. dont plan on it either .. lol .. that style jar doesnt sell here ..

where i live in jersey .. they dont really like that country homegrown look .. thats what those jars look like to them .. there are a few .. but majority rules .. in this town lol

i call them .. Super Snobs :laugh2:

did the papertowel work to get the spils off ?

I have a secret for the smoothness .. i learned by mistake

i was cleaning up a mess .. an used a hot washcloth to clean dye off my counters ..

picked up a candle one day with the HOT was cloth and when i picked it up, kinda slipped out of my hand .. cause the hot cloth an the warm wax from just being released .. well .. the slid .. out of the cloth took out the tiny imperfections an i just played more with it .. an its what i've been doing ever since

only to parrafin .. doesnt work with soy for some reason ..

so thats my secret to share lol .. to get smoothness .. use a HOT wash cloth an gently rub the candle in even strokes lol

thank you girls !!! much appreciated ! i hope my cousin likes them

the font i think is called Heidi .. its a rubon .. from making memories .. in the scrappin isle of acmoore

i'll be making more pillars yes .. but i only had enough funds to buya couple pounds of wax this week .. when i get paid enxt i'll be buying a 50 pound case lol .. LOVE payday .. just not everyother week lol

thanks for peeking ..

I guess its really pathetic looking if over 30 people looked an no one had a comment ..

i'm more of a votive tart person .. not so fond of pillars .. but i decided today to whip some up

the green is melon vanilla

the white is vanilla breeze

These are the candle wraps i was posting about for color theme help ..

the green one has a silver staple on it that says love , each one has a touch off "bling" lol .. lil crystals that hold the paper on the candle

both are a gift for my cusin this weekend.

looking gooooooooooood !

i always add fo first so i know an see thats its blended .. then color , always did that ..

you can just wipe off the jar spils with a papertowel no biggie there

i never have a problem with my candles smelling like smoke cause of the build up .. once the smoke is gone i remove the lid .. or i leave it .. either way never had that problem before

I dont know what polawax is .. or what BTMs means ..

can you help me with those 2 things

For those of you that use this would you say that it's comparable to btms or better than btms. Pro's and con's on this greatly appreciated.

I absolutely love btms I won't use ewax anymore however, I do have some ewax nf is this as waxy feeling as ewax?

I'm looking for alternatives to the ewax which btms is exactly what I've been looking for but would like to know about polawax and maybe do a 50-50 between the 2.

Thanks for any input, suggestions.

i just mix till i like how it smells .. how lazy is that?? i ask :laugh2:

i believe its 1 in apart per diameter of the jar???

its been sooo long since i double wicked anything .. i'm a small candle maker .. meaning i dont make things that need a double wick anymore

thank you girls .. i love your total honesty .. other people are just saying things to make me happy or to stop asking them

i'm going to michaels now to get my paper samples , i'll whip them up an post pics

i always did about 3-4 days ..

mainly .. cause i forgot i made them an was like .. opps ..best test now

but i do know people who wait weeks to test so .. i guess is a personal choice

i think ........ 10 minutes is to long ..... i've never preheated .. because of the same questions you asked .. i just kept them in the warmest room of the house which is my basement lol

maybe try just 2 minutes .. you just need them warm .. not baked sorry .. couldnt resist

you can find paw prints in the scrappin section of all craftstores in a rubon style

I see .....

tomorrow .. i'll put together .. a sample candle wrap .. an show you what i'm trying to do .. i'll go with the lighter shade of tan an see how they all blend together ..

so basically you like f .. because all teh left colors are the same .. black .. so you like f just not hte bard red color in the middle ?

these are all my favorite colors .. except pink .. but alot of the swatches i put together .. they looked good ..

its so hard to do this online .. with everyones monitor differant .. an acual paper patterns in person i can't get to see onine lol ..

i'm pretty sure i'm gonna go with D

thanks for your help

Edit to add

I think i'll go buy small samples of the papers i like .. put them together .. an see how they look .. online .. i'll take pics of each one ... its hard to describe them lol

i've been spending alot of time lately .. asking people .. what do you think ..

ive searched all product containers and papers .. walked around micheals and acmoore for hours on end putting swatch papers together .. with other accessories .. and i've come up with these color combos ..

I am partial to selection D because well .. pumpkin orange is my favorite color lol .. my cell phone is pumpkin orange for criky sake lmao... and my nail polish lmao ! hands AND TOES ! lmao!

i'm not going for a primitive look .. or a country look or shabby look ..

that does not sell here .. i'm looking for elegant .. and all these colors when done right .. can be elegant

this is for .. tags, lables, candle wraps, match books, packaging .. ect.. even candle line colors
