KY 125 love it!

Took my candles to a local craft show tonight. I was pleased with my set up and location, as I was leaving the room I saw some small jars of candles wrapped in celophane. He had 3 of them tied like they were candy. Nice candles - Dollar Store Candles! I went and found the organizer and said I have a question is this show suppose to be all handcrafted. She fumbled and said yeah well sometimes people sneak things in. I turned and said like these made in China candles! I said this isnt good with my Soy Candles right over there. She says oh you have nothing to worry about. Well 3 candles for $6.50 I think I do! We will see if they are taken off the table in the morning.

I have used the glitter on the Snowman Balls and Birthday Cake I have used the sprinkles.

I know this has been ask several times but . . .

What makes a candle throw both hot and cold.

Wick

Temp the wax is melted at

Temp in which the wax is cooled

Temp when you add your fragrance

Wax

Fragrance

And how do you know if you purchased a good fragrance?

Just thought this would be a good thread.

Moneky Farts and Banana Nut Bread, those are my biggest sellers.

Love the name!

I love those mottled candles!

Those are beautiful!

Here's a free one with shopping cart for their eComerce stores that my daughter just showed me. I thought Weebly was the only free on left, so I'm happy to see this one too: http://www.wix.com/

This one is a flash site. Do you know that over 90% of your customers will go away with a flash site especially with a e-commerce site. Takes to long to load.

Flash, intentionally or not, may prevent some users from being able to access your site.

Another one with templates.

I attended college for Web design and funny how people always think free is the way to go. Do you know also most of these places are in the UK. Not sure

about everyone else, but we should try to buy in the U.S.A. Lets get the economy going again! We promote our candles that way.

Sorry just had to vent.

I use Premium 3d cart.The benefits are :

-Easy to use administration interface (No programming knowledge necessary)

-No contracts & No hidden fees.

-Multiple designs to choose from.

-Fast and reliable hosting.

-Accept Credit Cards & PayPal

-Toll free shop support.

-Search engine optimized shops

So if anyone want to try this,they can try for 15 days with full access.

You are paying $20.00 per month.

It is not even your design you have to use their free templates.

How many people do you think have the same template?

I only charge 10.50 per month.

Crafting Room

I use metal votive molds - then wipe it out with a paper towel.

Wow you were busy this weekend, I love the molds very cute.

Those are so awesome. . . Great Job!

You have to put it on a plate, the wax drips off just like a pillar candle.

I sold out this past weekend!

I was listening to the Scentsy reps sales pitch. The lady was asking why he didnt have a melt going and he said because they are so powerful all the crafters complain that it is annoying to smell all day. Funny when people came in my booth they would say what smells so good. FO was Winter Wonderland

Ask the banquet hall if you can rent one. The show today we could rent a skirted table for $10.00

I made mine for my tables. I have solid green on the top and green checked for the bottom. Gives it a country look.

I believe the Holiday shoppers are out! Totally exhausted up at 5:00am home at 6pm. Sales were excellent. Was a little nervous received a phone call from a gentleman who purchased a candle from my show - my first thoughts were oh no he is not happy. Ends up he called to tell me how he loved my candle! He had it burning all morning. Wanted me to save him 5 more candles in the same flavor. My scent of the day - Monkey Farts!

snowman thanks for the tip, I will definately try that!

ladysj, I have a silicone mold. I also tried my frosting bag with a huge tip no such luck.

Thanks everyone.
