Wick'n'Wax Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hi, for those that make aroma bead ornies, how do you package yours? I'm thinking about the cello bag, with a stapled bi-fold? piece of card over the top with logos/scent etc on.My question, do you print these yourself? Is there a better way to package them, to stop them losing their scent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flcandles Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I put mine in a cello bag and just stick my label on front.:smiley2: Yes i do print out my own labels for these. I just make to order, i never make a bunch in hopes to sell them because my luck i wouldn't sell any:tiptoe: . So when i do get an order for ornies i made my aroma beads and when there dry i make the ornies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyl55 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I started with poly pro bags, folded the top over and stapled a bi-fold card I had made. Now I use poly pro zip lock bags and staple the bi-fold header card on. Since it can take several days for some FOs to be absorbed I do try to make these up in advance of shows, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I have a warning label printed on plain paper inside of a polypro bag. I fold the top of the bag over and seal with a scent label. I'm pretty sure there is a pic in the gallery.Found it! http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28056 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wick'n'Wax Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 ooh very nice, thanks for the piccie. Is that clear twine of some sort? I only have silver elastic at the moment, which I thought is ok if people want to stretch it to hang over the rear view mirror in their car, but it can detract a bit from the ornie.I like how you made some of yours with different colours, I wanted to do a christmas tree with some coloured decorations or swags on, but wondered how time consuming it would be and if it would look right, might try now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I use a gold elastic cord I get in the jewelry section of a hobby shop. It is time consuming to do multiple colors but I like how they look and I sell the dickens out of them. If you want to do Christmas trees with swags you'll have to use a light green for the tree or the swag won't show up. Just have fun with them.

sharyl55 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Depends on your costs including your time and what your market is like. I sell mine for $1.99 ea. or 3 for $5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
