beck180 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Can someone explain to me how you go about shrink wrapping votives, like they do in the store? Also, what size labels do you use for candle tins? like the 16 oz. and 8 oz. round label on top and rectangle on the side.Thanks You ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerKay Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I buy as many of these as she can get in a large envelope (to save on shipping).http://cgi.ebay.com/200-SHRINK-WRAP-BAGS-Size-4-x-6-Perfect-For-Soap-Making_W0QQitemZ9520658865QQcategoryZ50955QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemThen I cut them in half, pop in a votive, tape it shut using my label (1/2 of an 8160 address label) shrink it and pop the warning on the bottom. Looks very professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendlyMOM Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I have been shrink wrapping and they are not looking so good, would like to see a few picture of some others have done to see if the way mine look are normal as I do not have camera to show myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashlie K Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Ok what I do is cut my shrink wrap sheets into small squares (4x6) then I place the cut sheet on the table like a diamond. Take the votive and start rolling and cut off the excess, then hit it with the heat gun and voila. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I have been attempting to shrink wrap my votives with shrink wrap tubing and they don't look so hot. Could you please post a pic of how you do yours, GingerKay.As for tins, I use the 2-1/2" round labels on the lids only. No rectangular labels on the sides.
