I put mine in cello bags and tie them off with strips of material - I try and find green and red for this time of the year. They are cute and still useable after the holidays. I hate to repackage things after the holiday. Material always sells good for me. I use the gingham material and that also looks nice and country-ish (lol)
-
I use both also. I do like how easy they release from the silicone - but I have had no problems with the candy molds either. Plus people seem to love all the shapes. I try and use whatever is cheap! LOL
-
Thanks so much for the info! I felt like an idiot asking! I am new to all this and was just NOT got getting it I guess. Now I do - thanks and I appreciate all the help! I love this site cause everyone is so helpful and nice!

I dont have any coconut oil. I was just trying to find another type of oil that I had on hand - that I didnt need to order at this time. I think the only oils I have are grapeseed (not a solid), sweet almond (not a solid) can you give some examples of what solid oils are? and what brittle oils are? sorry.. I am new to all this. Thanks!
-
What can you use in place of the 25% oil that is solid at room temp (i.e., coconut oil)?? Can you tell me this in measurments? I still dont have the conversion down yet.
-
thanks so much for the info! I am going to see what all I can find under the recipes. I did make some bath melts from there - and they are WONDERFUL! Thanks for the tip!
-
I have done the lazy way.. lol. I bought the base and then added the flavor to it. I was not sure how to make it. I am going to search the web and see what recipes I can come up with - I bought the base for the lib balms and to make the lotion bars.
-
does it have a tray in the bottom to catch the wax? those are cute - I might have to get one too!
-
I tried this recipe tonight - and then used one myself! OMG! I love them - I wish I would not have waited to make them! I am glad that I have time to add them to all the baskets that I have to make for the holidays! Thanks so much for this great recipe!! :wave:

I clean my molds like that with soap and a old toothbrush. I have a hard time getting them clean without the brush. The metals ones I turn upside down in the oven set on warm and they cleans them out. Its easy to get addicted!! I have a ton of stuff now.. and I wanted to start out small.. well it was a good intention anyway! LOL
-
Alot of stuff you have to buy on line. about the only thing I know you can buy in a store is the olive oil. I live in the country - you can find the amish that sell alot of the stuff too - just letting you know. I would look on the classifields for stuff.. that way you can get better shipping - and you wont have to buy such a large amount. Just a thought

Not really a replacement either.. but a few ideas. How about making the ornies from the aroma beads? or taking the aroma beads and mixing with the corn cob - then putting them into organza bags, musslin bags, or hand made bags? I did the smelly jellies too - and found that they didnt sell well.. and they were always hard to take to shows. You could even put the beads and corn cob in a bowl and have it in a bag of some sort. Sorry.. just throwing some ideas at all. I sell tons of ornies and the sachet bags.

I taught myself too. I got my first sewing machine at walmart. I got the middle of the line priced - as long as it had lots of different stitches etc I was set - cause I figured that I would need the great versions as I learned what I was doing. I still cant figure out patterns. I have tried - and its hard! LOL. But I can sew - I even made my own scrub tops - they turned out good too - but I still had trouble with the pattern. Just take a day and learn the machine and what it can do - from there you will be set! enjoy - its fun to make your own things!
-
I have used candy molds and the ones from the dollar store. I use the ezsoy and have had no problems at all.

Have you heard of this website?
puddin1970 replied to southernsoy's topic in Business Side of Things
I have one - I am happy with mine. The only bad part is you cant order from the site - the person has to email you with the order etc. They have alot of different styles to choose from. I thought I would try this out before I pay for one. Its easy to do and user friendly. HTH -
Has anyone tried to wick one of these?
puddin1970 replied to LyndaJ's topic in General Candle Making Discussions
I did one of those and I believe I used 3 wicks. But I am not totally sure - and I cant find them in my notebook. -
Is it possible to do this?
puddin1970 replied to 7 Pawz's topic in General Candle Making Discussions
you could always make fire starters with the extra wax.. I am like you I hate to waste or throw away stuff! -
Where is the cheapest place to buy citric acid on the net? and is there any place local that you can buy it from? Thanks!
-
I have one and I use it for soy tarts. I also use it for oils. I dont use large tarts - but I keep it on med and it throws a good smell! Hope that helps!
-
That is so cute! I bet she will love it!
-
That is the same thing I did too. I just put them in a cello bag and a bag topper. They sold okay when I had them - but I still sell more sachets than I did those. But those are easy to make too.

The other part of my business....
puddin1970 replied to creationsbycharity's topic in Crafty Discussion
very cute! Wish I had the talent. That is why I buy them from the people who do lol -
If you buy the fleese on sale.. they are not that bad. Plus its something made by you. I think it would be a great gift. I have made a few of them. I made them smaller for a baby blanket and when I see her with the baby in it - it makes me smile!
