I package mine in 3 x 3 zip bags. I get them by the 1000 from the Candle Source
-
how about Love Spell - a luscious fusion of citrus, cherry blossom, hydrangea, apple and peach; with a hint of blondewood. .... or Cinnamon??
-
Can someone help me with a good place to buy bags of wax embeds. Want them look real. Want to buy in bulk. Any help would be appreciated.
TIA
what kind of embeds are you looking for? Maybe someone on here makes them.
-
I take it these are like the Aroma Beads sold at BC?? If so, I read on that board about someone having the same problem, and it turned out being because their hole they had made for the string was too big or too close to the edge.

does any one solely sell Yankee fragranced candles?
How well do you do? Do we have to rename them, or since our suppliers sell the FO with the yankee name, is it ok to call our candles that?
I believe you have to call your candles 'such and such type' or rename the scents.
For example:
Harvest - you could call it Harvest TYPE, or Harvest TIME, but legally you can't call it just HARVEST because it is trademarked by Yankee.
-
here is what I put on mine:
Caution:
Keep out of reach of children and pets!
Avoid direct heat or flame.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Spills should be cleaned up immediately
to avoid staining.

I have one that I don't need anymore. It is white metal, but could easily be painted. It measures approx 20" tall x 14" wide, and has 48 hooks (12 on each side) and I will sell it for $5 plus shipping. It weighs approx 4-1/2 lbs to give you an idea on shipping
let me know if you are interested!

Just looked at the BC board. Where did Doneen make the stmts about price increases? Carole
It's in the Off Topic section titled 'Holy Cow!!"
-
I noticed the cinnamon increase too, so I questioned it on the BC board, and here is the response I recieved:
"The Cinnamon Red Hot was a typo. It is $16.95 unless you do the buy 5 get $1.00 off then it's $15.95."
Then Doneen stated:
"Just to clarify even further, we first thought that we'd only have to raise the ones with patchouli in them, as that was the ingredient with the biggest price hike. But since then we've had several price increases across the board with most of our manufacturers, which unfortunately affects the majority of our fragrances. So we have had to start adjusting more of the FO prices accordingly. We've absorbed many smaller price increases over the years, but lately they are getting too high for us to be able to absorb, so we regret that we have to raise some of our prices to offset this. We've incurred some price increases on other products too (wax of course), but also some of our Bath & Body Bases, Aroma Beads, MP Soaps, and various other products. Some of these we've been able to absorb, but again some will have to be adjusted. And of course as you know, the increasing cost of shipping & trucking has greatly affected prices as well. We realize price increases are no fun, and we hate having to do it, but we have no choice But we can promise that we're still working to try and keep our pricing as reasonable as possible and find you the best deals, and we will keep working toward that goal as always. We really do value all of our loyal customers and we appreciate your understanding"

Wow! If I had to add a full oz per pound to get a good fragrance out of my soap I would change oils.
oops :embarasse Sorry I thought you were asking about candles, not soap! Nevermind me......
-
Try adding in increments of 1 tsp per lb. And smell. If you want stronger fragrance add another tsp. Add up to 1 tbs (3 tsp) per lb of soap base. You can add more but I find more than that makes my skin break out. Normally I use either 2 tsp or 1 tbs per lb. Depends on the strength of the fragrance.
For example, lavender is strong so I use 1-2 tsp. Vanilla or citrus oils are light so I add up to 1 tbs per lb.
HTH
Edited to add: For essential oils you want to start out using about 1/3 or 1/2 as much.
I use 1 oz pp for most scents. Some I need 1.5 oz. though

Gelluminations has a nice Toasted Marshmallow scent!

yes, a traffic circle would be similar to a roundabout where several streets branch off of a road loop if that makes sense. No need to have all the sarcasm, different people call things by different names, deal with it.
Ring Of Fire- The product slideshow may be annoying to you, but you are not everyone. If it bothers you that much, don't look at it! No one is forcing you to!
-
I have also seen the corks at Michaels....
-
I think your site is wonderful!! You have a true talent at making such realistic looking (and smelling, I'm sure!!) candles!! :highfive:
And I think the comment about your slideshow was completely uncalled for and flat out rude! Hang in there, I think you're doing great!!!!!

I package mine in 12 x 18 cello bags. Mine are dipped in soy wax, and aren't messy at all.
-
Just curious....why do you think you need new reeds??? The reeds shouldn't need replaced as long as you have the diffuser. Just flip them over and they will rescent themselves from the other end.
as far as how long they last, I have had mine for 3 months and it still smells. The fragrance should last as long as the liquid does. As the liquid evaporates, the scent may weaken, but will still be there. You could always add a few drops of FO to your base to freshen it up as well

What about:
Maine Event Scents
Maine Candle Co.
A Scented Maine
-
Can you make up quite a few in advance & wrap them. Will this keep the fo. in them as long as they are wrapped? Pat
yes you can!! I actually had some snowmen from last years shows that I found still packaged up that I found the other day while cleaning, and they still smell wonderful!! I have made them a few months ahead during the busy season with no problems
-
BCN has them as well......

HTH,
Steph
holy moly!! $51.95 for a gallon of room spray base???!!!
I purchase mine from Indiana Candle supplies http://www.candlesupplys.us/ It is only $15.95/gallon and works great!! They also have the clamshell molds there. I get my bottles from The Candlemakers Zoovy http://candlemakers.zoovy.com/category/containers___bottles.cosmo_ovals/, and have also ordered from SKS bottle http://www.sks-bottle.com/. Both have great product and prices!! HTH

Thank you both for your suggestions. Can either of you give me an idea of how much FO I should use per blank? I would want good scent but don't want it dripping on the dash....
I just 'paint' my fragrance on with a paint brush. It doesnt take much at all. I do one side, let dry, do the other, then repeat the process, and package when dry. I measured it one day, and it came to about 1/10 oz of FO per blank.

Have you tried Pumpkin Cheesecake?? BCN and ICS both have it, and it is a great seller year around!

They work great!! I have some from a few months ago that I took out of my craft booth (discontinued scents), and they still smell like the day I packaged them up.
