Trappeur Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Well, I wasn't able to order those mini jars Sponey found at Dollar Tree as they are out of stock for the moment so in the mean time I ordered these jars off Amazon. So I found these 2 styles on Amazon and ordered a dozen of each. I think they are rather really pretty and they are canning jars from Italy. Actually I had enough points built up on Amazon it didn't cost me anything but to use my points so that worked out. I'll have to do hang tags as the lids are too pretty to put a lid on. This round one is a 5oz jar. Cost 1.15 each. I just love the bronze tops that have writing on them and the jars are embossed with some type of floral....Elegant I thought for a canning jar. Boy I hope I can wick these things.... Now I love the shape of this jar - I got 12 of these also. They are 6.75oz each. $2.99 each....bit pricey but what the heck.... And this is what the lids look like. Trappeur 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here I thought you were just showing off your beautiful self and your beautiful horse with the beautiful background! Can I come live with you???? Oh, to wake up to all those trees every day...so awesome. I love the jars! The round ones are so cute, and I dig the taller one...kind of reminds me of an old-fashioned milk bottle. Can't wait to see you put some wax in those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 lol.....oh your too kind Phoenix......I look like death warmed over. Looks like I hadn't been to bed in a week....probably didn't.... That is a horrible picture I never show to anyone. You can come here anytime. I live like a hermit. I've got so many animals I can't go anywhere, the plain truth of the matter. Yes, it does look like a milk bottle! Now have to get some ideas for some labels. Since I will have to do a hang tag, what should I use for string around the neck? Any suggestions? Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehatch1 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I LOVE those little round jars with the floral design. Resisting the urge to get some myself! As for hang tags, I tend to lean towards rustic things myself... twine, raffia, etc. But a bit of thin ribbon would be pretty, too, and sophisticated.

On another issue... The tall ones give me pause because they're narrow, small, and low volume. I'm thinking you're gonna have a really HOT candle with that... The little short ones are awesome. If you still want the little 2 oz mason jars like the Dollar Tree ones they have'm on Amazon. And your picture looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 On the smaller jars, I would use a floral shaped hang tag, probably in a flower color (or many different color tags) and hang with raffia, but that's me! If you don't want to invest in a bunch of new supplies for these jars, make what you have work. Your candles & labels are always beautiful, you've got this one too!

I was already thinking about that when I ordered them.......but I liked them so much I ordered. I'll probably keep for myself because I think they are a little too pricey to sell to shops.

I love that idea KK but unfortunately Zazzle where I get my labels from doesn't offer a floral shape because I would love to do a floral shaped tag. The only odd shapes are a triangle, heart, oval and the standard square or rectangular or round. Now the lids are a bronzy/gold color with writing in black. My favorite color I love doing is working with black. Most all my labels are that color or an accent in black. I don't know if a floral color would look good. I'll know tomorrow when the jars get here. I already started working on some designs which I'll put up and see what everyone thinks. Thanks!

They are pretty pricey but you can quickly die-cut shapes - if you were going to do a lot of hang tags it might be a good option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 What's a cricut? Well even if I knew what it was.....I don't make my labels or print them. I design them on Zazzle and order through them....but thankyou JB anyways! Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Labels by the sheet sells a scallop hang tag that looks like a flower but then you'd have to print them yourself. And if I remember right they only come in white or copy that pretty script writing that's on the jar...if only my handwriting was that pretty!
