Charolette

Does anyone know where I could buy these? It's a lid that fits the mason jars. Has a dip in the lid where you put the melts/tarts. You use a tealight in bottom of jar to melt the melt/tart. I've looked all over the internet and can't find them.

I have some scents left over from my christmas tarts I made and wonder if anyone knows if any craft stores sell the amber glass bottles? I'm going to call upco tomorrow to see if they sell any.

Glad things worked out for you, Charolette!

Do you have a hobby store around you? Check in the candy section for clear cello bags. You can put your tarts in them without worry.

Aww thank you Georgia for sharing this with me. I would have never thought to look in the candy section.

wow looks cool.

These are very pretty.

Got the warmers in today, my melts smell strong. I used 1.5oz pp, next time I'm going to use 1oz pp. Am sending a box down to Houston for my sister, I know she'll love them. Again I want to think everyone for helping me with my Christmas gifts to my family!

Thank you guys. I think they look cute.

Carol I did put the one scents in each jar. They have a very good ct, when the warmer gets here tomorrow I can test the ht.

I've been sick with the flu and today is my first day out of the bed. When I came downstairs I could smell them. Kinda made my tummy a little ill. LOL

They should be fine for a couple days. Just check the bags now and then to see if any color is migrating to the bags. If not, you should be fine. I wouldn't worry too much. Enjoy the holidays.

Cheers,

Steve

Thank you Steve,

Enjoy yours too and stay safe.

Oh good news,

My daughter reminded me that we have some mason quilted 8 oz jars left over so we put 5 tarts in each and they fit perfect then we used the labels that came with the jars.

Seems like those plastic baggies suck up some color sometimes too. I used to store waxed thread in plastic bags and the bags truned color. Mostly the browns and reds.

Glad you found something fun to do with your daughter. My mom and I craft together and I cherish that time.

Boy ol boy, I sure hope they stay good until next week. Am giving them away then. We used three diff colors and we mixed them to make more colors.

My daughter couldn't believe how good they came out. I was shocked too. She wants her friends to help make some with us next time we make them.

I told her I'd love that.

Now I'm worried about the color and scent from the bags.I read so much and printed off so much I guess I missed the bag part. Maybe I'll take them out of the bags and put them on cookie sheets until tuesday. Shoot

Charolette, don't store your tarts in regular sandwich bags. Apparently they will suck the scent out. I used to store my tarts in polypropylene (cello) bags; now I use large glass containers.

Make sure the bags are polyprop. and not polyethylene. You can find them at various suppliers like PaperMart, Nashville Wraps, Uline, etc.

Happy Holidays!

Oh no now I wont sleep tonight. I have about 22 sandwich bags with the tarts in them. Am giving them away tuesday when the 10 warmers get here from sears. Do you think they will be fine until then? I dont have any glass jars.

Hopefully your tarts will come out good for you!

I am getting geared up to start testing tarts and clamshells in the New Year. Been doing days (weeks) of internet research on it! Luckily I have 6 different soy and paraffin waxes already, but still need to order 3 or 4 more types. Apparently everybody has a favorite blend that works for them and no one else, LOL. So I figure I have a lot of blending, pouring and testing ahead of me. But I actually like the development part (when I am not pulling my hair out). I will have to supply a tart warmer to all my testers, so to OBI I go (gotta figure a while to write-off this on taxes)! And knowing myself, I will end up getting about 20 from OBI for me :rolleyes2. And of course need some clamshells, so might as well get a case while I'm at it, LOL. So if I decide not to sell clamshells, you will be seeing lots of clammies in the classifieds! Ah, a testing we will go...

Again, congrats on your tarts

Cheers,

Steve

We had lots of fun making these. We used KY parasoy and six diff scents. So far they smell really good. Sounds like you love making them too. Thinking for the next holiday we may try wickless candles.

You have a Happy safe holiday.

Am making my tarts now and they smell so good. Please let them keep smelling good!!!

I do have them in sandwich bags so I hope they keep the good smell they have now. I'm so excited I think my daughter and I have found a hobby.

Thanks to this board.............

I store mine in those ziploc freezer bags. I still have some in bags that I made 3 yrs ago and they still have a nice cold throw.

I don't know what your wax is so I don't know how long you need to cure your tarts. I find that tarts tend to cure rather quickly, even soy tarts, if made from a tart/pillar wax and can be used with a short cure time. But if these are for gifts and you are making them today they should be ready in time by Christmas.

Hi Candybee, I'm using KY Parasoy for the tarts. Glad to hear they will be ready for christmas! Thank you and Have a Happy Safe Holiday..

I got everything I need to make tarts for my family.

Now I have a question , will it hurt the tarts if I put them in sandwich bags? I also ordered warmers from sears and they wont be here until next week so this will give me time to make the tarts and let them cure. Everyone knows gifts from me will be late. If my tarts dont have a smell to them at least they are getting a warmer. I have three scents, I hope they turn out good.

Hi

We do decorative candles but outside the US and now we are looking for distributors / agents and willing to expand in the US, however since it is a new market for us we are just getting feedback from the experts in this field on how do you perceive our candles and if you think they can do well in the US,

We specialize in scented decorative candles mainly, please check our basic www.mystiquevent.com

and appreciate your feedback on our email below

Thanks and best regards

Imad@mystiquevent.com

Just want to say that you have very pretty candles.

Thanks to both of yall.

I made an order with ky candles cause the person who was going to ride with me can't. I'm just waiting now for the order to go thru.

I have a place an hour from me that sells IGI wax. I'm wanting to go today and pick up IGI 6006 for wickless candles and want to make some tarts. Is IGI 6006 good for making wickless candles and what kind of IGI wax would you buy for tarts? The guy I talked to said IGI 1239. I have read that IGI 4761 is also good for tarts. Which would yall do? Thank you

Thank you so much Stella, I'm going to do lots of reading and printing tomorrow.

I couldn't figure out how to post a thread so i did it here does anyone know where i can buy bulk/wholesale wax tarts i prefer soy.....and iam looking for wholesale/bulk cold processes soaps......we are opening up a store and what we make there we are giving back to our community.donating to citizens against domestic violence and child advocacy helps children in need..thanks a million!

This is a wonderful thing your doing. I'm new too but sure someone will be along soon to help you.

Thank you so much for your ideas, this will help me so much. My mother and sis are both on oxygen and wish they could burn candles but can't. My daighter and I thought wickless and tarts would be great for them. I saw some nice warmers on ebay that I can give them for christmas and make our own tarts. Again thank you all so much

Hi everyone

I'm wanting to do some tarts/melts and wanted to ask if I could use soap molds for these and has anyone tried cookie cutters? Thanks
