  1. I have a request to make a sage green coloured candle. I am struggling to figure out what colour combinations to use to make a sage green colour. TIA Pam F
  2. Craft Wholesalers have them, your search through Everyday Ornament section you will find them. They have a lot of different items, and are good to deal with. Their site is sometimes difficult to find what you are looking for. http://www.craftwholesalers.com/Everyday-Ornamentals-C3353.aspx?Page=3 Pam F
  3. For my pillars I use 1274 from Canwax, for wicking I use a 27 ply for my 3 inch. The one time that I made one, I use a small battery operated milk frother for whipping the wax, it worked well. I never did get around to burning it. Pam F
  4. I have one and I absolutely love it, I find it very accurate, and the fast reading that you get from it, is so nice. Pam F
  5. I should have specified that my label now has all the necessary safety and company information on it. I was just wondering if I should place a label on my jar with my Company name on it for a more professional looking jar. My labels now are professional looking but I just wondering if it would give it a even more professional look to them to have a label on the jar. But my main concern is, would it be a fire hazard to have a paper label on the outside of the jar with a heating element under the jar. Pam F
  6. I usually label my wickless jars, with a hang tag. But I was curious how others label their jars. I was sort of wondering about putting a label on the jar as well, with my company information. I would still put a hang tag on it as well with the proper use of a wickless jar. I will putting some of my items in a store starting the first of July and was thinking if I should put my company information on the jar too. TIA Pam F
  7. I use the paper bags with twist handle (made from recycled paper) for all my candles they are extremely strong and durable, I wrapped my products individually in tissue paper. Customers really appreciate a nice looking paper for their purchase, it is amazing the comments you get. Pam F
  8. I usually use 3 heaping tbsp of stearic to 1lb of 1274, and have no sweating and doesn't affect to mottle look. Pam F
  9. I have purchased them woodcrafter http://www.woodcrafter.com/hardware-2.aspx Pam F
  10. I have done these both ways, but as gifts only. There isn't any reason that unscented tealights can't be burnt in both, what I done when giving them as gifts was just package up store bought tealights to put with the gift. Pam F
  11. I was just looking at their website, and was reading in the About Us part, and there was a statement in there about shipping to Canada and abroad via Canpar. I would send them a e-mail and ask for sure. They have great customer service and I am sure that they would help you out. I get a lot of supplies from them and have had nothing but excellent service from them. Pam F
  12. I have never seen them on any of the American websites, I live in Canada and purchase them from a Canadian supplier called Village Craft and Candle. They are called maxi tealight cups. Sorry I can't help you with any other suppliers. http://www.villagecraftandcandle.com/categories.asp?cID=132 Pam F
  13. To paint on candles, you can buy a medium that you add to your arcylic paint. I know one place that you can purchase it is Michael's. Pam F
  14. If you used a hurricane wax you should be able to burn tealights in them, but I would only use the plastic cup type. Regular pillar wax is just not hard enough to use with a regular tea-light. Pam F
  15. When I use stearic it doesn't affect the mottle of my candles, it helps control the bleeding of the fragrance oil. Vybar will affect the mottle of your candles. Sorry I don't about using both at the same time I have never done this. Pam F
