Im not new to this, im just new to soy...and ive got my 8 oz jelly jars, votives and tarts all tested. So I dont need sample packs of wicks. I just need to finish testing the rest of my scents. I do have supplies, just not alot because i gave away over $4,000 worth of supplies when i left alaska. Its a long story! lol. So, now i have to start over. And i took a break for a while. So now im just starting over and have a lot more limited budget than i had the first time. So I was just wanting opinions on what you all would spend the $300 on if you need to start stocking up a little with a limited budget. Anyway I think i may just order labels. Its so much easier, doesnt take any of my time having to figure out how to design labels. And that type of thing. Plus there is a lady at the hospital gift shop who wants to put my candles in there, so im going to go meet with her tomorrow. And I have the candles ready, just not the look of them perfected, meaning....i want some rustic or pewter type lids for the jars rather than just the lids that come with the jj's. And I want some cute labels. I just dont know where to get everything lol. But i think i will get a case of the ezsoy, because now that i realize its the same as ky puresoy i will just get it at bcn since its cheaper to ship. I also need packaging for the tarts and votives. Just cellos i think for the votives, to package at least 2 in a bag. And i tie them with jute. And for tarts I want some of those 3x3 or 3x4 ziplocks to put single tarts in. I have some cello bags i got off the classifieds that i can put 6 tarts in or 2 votives. And i like those. I think they are like 2.5 inches wide by 7.5 inches tall, and gusseted. Ive been getting all my oils from the candle source and indiana candle supply. i want to try other places too though lol. Anyway thanks for the input. If yall have any info as to where to get what please let me know, thanks! Oh yeah, i noticed perky designs has some really cute labels i like, but ive heard bad stuff about them. What do you all think, for those of you that buy from them. Thanks!
