Ok, I'm havin some of those!! Adorable! Do the 16 ozers have the wide mouth lid?

[KJohnson]

Yes you are correct!! They are so dam cute!!

[HeavenScentU]

Those look so cute. I guess I am going to have to run and buy out the store. How much are they?

[KJohnson]

I am pretty sure they are $4.67 for a 4 pk

[Chauna1]

Are those the Ball Elite Platinums? I have gotten some in the 8 oz before.

I have them in the short squatty 8 ounce size. I like those!!

[KJohnson]

Yes they come in the 8oz size and the picture I posted is the new 16oz size

[prairieannie]

I went and bought out our Walmart today

They were 4.67 for 4, and very well worth it.. they are even cute up close and personal! Thanks for the heads up Kris, I LOVE them!!

Oh, wow, I was in love with the 8 oz-er's, but had to use them wickless; too squatty to wick, now these should be easier! I love the look of them!

[DONNAMAC]

Wonder where to start with wicking. Square jars are always so difficult for me. They really are cute, I looked at my Wal-Mart and they did not have them yet. I use zinc wicks and 6006 wax, would probably need to double wick. I am keeping mu eyes open for these. I love the 8oz. fo the burners, but would like to wick this one. Thanks for the heads up.

[Kymber]

Now those are CUTE!!! I will have to check out my Walmart this week and see if they have gotten any in so I can see them up close and personal! We use the fat squatty 8oz for wickless already. Wish Wally would carry them year round!

[Kymber]

I finally got to Walmart yesterday and they had several of these 4-packs on the shelf. They are so dang cute up close and personal!! I bought a few to test. We already use the 8oz for wickless.

Hi all~ Where are these jars (or any jars) located in the store? I need to run their this afternoon to pick up something else and I dont have time to browse, I have a yucky bridal shower to go to, UGH. I'd rather be pouring, in fact I would rather cut off my foot than go to this shower (LOVE the groom, HHHHAAAATTTEEE the bride)

[prairieannie]

In our Walmart there is a section dedicated to canning stuff.. several other jars, lids, jam and jelly mixes etc. That's where those jars are.. don't know if it's the same in all Wally Worlds~

[Candlebuddy]

In my Walmart, their in housewares.

[Kymber]

In my walmart they are in the same isle as the small electrical appliances (toasters, coffee makers and stuff like that)

At $1.19 + tax that's to high for a canning jar. I can get smooth canning jars for less than a $1 and that includes shipping. Also I would have to buy a 1 piece lid to go with those so the price would be higher.

Yep you can. But we are talking the CUTE factor here. These are just the cutest little things and maybe not something you would want to change your entire line to......but a CUTE addition to add as a seasonal choice? I certainly wouldn't take every scent I make and test in these....I would take a few scents that fit the style and do them instead. Maybe just a summertime thing? I myself would would work with the lid that it comes with and see if there isn't some way that I can make it work........lots of ideas for it right now. Some of the creativity in candlemaking is definately in the packaging. My particular customer & wholesale base would go nuts over this new look if done right. Variety is the spice of life! But you are right....if you were going to make these in any kind of huge bulk....well then no, probably wouldn't be real cost effective.

I actually bought some of these jars at Target. They were $3.57 and I found them underneath the kitchen utensils. My daughter was shopping for a bridal shower present and I just happened to come across them. My walmart had them for $4.87 and had plenty in stock just in case I wanted more to make for personal gifts.

My Target only had 3 packs but I bought them just because they were different.

So now for the big question, how to wick them. The biggest part of the jar is close to 4 inches across and the mouth of the jar is 3 inches.

Since I have had great success with cd 16's on my wide mouths, I am thinking of going up to a cd 20 for the bigger part of the jar. I have no clue if this is going to work but its worth a shot lol. I also have some HTP 1212's. I am using the GB 415 100% soy.

What size wick is everyone using and have you tested it to see if it will clean the jar or not?

Thanks!

If this were any old canning jar you'd be right. But it's not. Kymber is right, we're talking cute factor here!

I pay about .50 and no shipping on my regular half pints for candles, so this is indeed pricey in the grand scheme of what *I* am willing to pay. However, this is my chance to do over the top cute and not have to pay shipping! For those of us who love that country look it's a steal!

[Brenny]

if the lids are two piece I use hot glue, that way you only have 1 lid to deal with.

[greeneyedney]

found my jars at wally in the summer section with all the plastic cups and pitchers etc.....

[Dawnee]

I might be wrong but I think they carry those at Fillmore. I think for 4.55/12. with lids, It'd come out to about 6.35/12 (but that depends on which lids you choose)

I haven't ordered them myself, but from your description it looks like what is on their pic... with some smooth sides.

Fillmore does carry the 8 oz Elite Platinum jars but not the 16 oz. These are shorter than the regular 16 oz square masons and have a wide mouth. I bought out my Walmart twice this week.
