beauty41 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I was in Sweet Cupcake Candle Company, and I am out of it and the whole thing os a mess anyways. Well my rant is that some person on a group that I belong to is wanting to make their own candles. They said that they will use milk jugs, old juars or whatever it takes to make candles. So I posted the proper way to make candles on there and I am sure that I will get some heat from that person. I am NO expert at this but come on using milk jugs or old jars. I think that this person has NO clue on how to make candles, and I also voiced my thoughts of SAFETY!!OK off my soapbox now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggedy Dani Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Don't worry.....Let them live and learn.....Just imagine the mess they'll have once they pour wax into the milk jug...not to mention, i believe the fragrance oil will eat thru that milk jug.just sit back and enjoy the show...you voiced your opinion and they won't listen....sooo I just say "let them live and learn".

jillgunter Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Have they ever heard that fire and plastic/paper doesnt mix? Hopefully they have a fire extinguisher handy lol:shocked2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest amynleebishop Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I hear that!!! It's been interesting lately on here too! Are you kidding, this site has been hilarious lately. Did you read the one about the B&B girl wanting to know what a wick was and what it was used for? I could not stop laughing. We are truly evil people~!

chris77 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 For what it's worth.....many people have made pillar candles using the 1/2 gallon and smaller milk cartons. If memory serves me correct, the Candlewic company originally started out years and years ago making candles in milk cartons. If you go to a book store and check out a book on candle making, you'll see directions for making milk carton candles or even making your own mold using cardboard....definitely not for a company, but for the home enthusiast who is just making them for fun or decoration.Just my 2 cents.C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see doin that with kids at home, but not for selling or what not....I don't even think my parents burned the candle I brought home from school....LOLDani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beauty41 Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 I can totally understand using a milk jug for maybe some home crafting but not to use one and sell them to people. Like I said I tried to offer a bit of advice to these people ( even though I am new at this) but oh well . I just don't think that those people trying to make candles really fully understand the safety issues ! Oh well live and learn .santalol Have a GREAT week. My great week begins this Saturday!BROWN COUNTY INDIANA WATCH OUT HERE I COME . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
