ashncandles Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I was at a craft show today and saw a man with sample scents in these tiny little jars. You know, no wick, just enough scented wax to customers can know what they like. Well these jars were maybe 2 inches tall and 2 inches in diameter, maybe a little smaller. They were so cute!! Does anyone know where I can find anything like these?TIAAsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jillgunter Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I seen some candles made in those tiny jars when I was up in Amish County. They were really cute. But I bought a larger jar. I think they were about $2 for those little jars. It looked like maybe a 1 1/2 oz of wax in those jars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angied Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 If your wanting it just so they can smell the scent then what about tarts...that would mean no container. Or how about like the little condiment cups. Just some ideas:) Angied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just some ideas:) AngiedI do plan on getting those little condiment cups, but the only place I've found that carries them is currently out of stock for something.. (the Add To Cart button isnt there lol) It was a good deal too Havent decided on the jars, but I did find them on Lonestar. Thank you everyone!! I know where to get them from now if I choose to go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logcabinmomma Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I have the 1.5 oz oval hex jars from Lonestar- my 3 yo daughter LOVES them lol... They are sneaky to wick though- I'm using C-3 soy and made the mistake of "knowing" that htp- 41's would be "perfect"... had to go back and order 52's. sigh.... I have plenty of 41's now though lol. The jars are just long enough that the wick drowned by the time the wax reached the widest point. Oh, and one more thing- make SURE you don't get the long neck wick tabs for these- the 10mm tall necks go halfway up the jar! Use the 3mm ones!!!-Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katesmom Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 They are the 1.5 oz. I know they come in 12 sided, hex, and someone (don't remember who) had the round ones (mini jelly jars). Those were called sample jars. Really! They all have the gold (some white) twist lids.Check around, alot of places have them. Fillmore, WSP, Early American,etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsvlbrat Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I got some little tins at Walmart..they come in a pack of 3 and were on the end cap. They hold about an oz. I use them for scent testers. HTH(I just wish I would of gotten more!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I must be missing something here...if you are at a craft show with a table full of candles, why would you want to give a potential customer a sample jar to smell? If someone did that to me my first thought would be the sample is loaded with scent, but the actual candles aren't going to smell that good.
