Palm Pillars & Votives

Recommended Posts

I have been busy making pillars and votives for a show on Saturday. I have 6 more that are not pictured.

Hunter Green~Mistletoe

Burgundy/Purple~Cranberry marmalade

Ivory~Vanilla Bean Noel

Red~Winter Candy Apple

Olive Green~Bayberry

I used candlescience dye chips. 1 chip per pound. I should have used more on the burgundy to get a deeper color.

The show went fairly well. But....I did not sell one Palm pillar or votive! There was more country type products so my tins and mason jars sold well. Once I get back home I will update with pics.

My last show is Tuesday, maybe I will sell some palm pillars there.:undecided

Know what you mean Lisa, when people come in my shop they always look at them and say how pretty, but they don't buy. Of course I find most prefer a jar candle though I have some in jars - how pretty! but no buy. I guess it is just something they have never heard of so they don't want to try it! Maybe your next show will sell out of palm:)

I did a show back in Oct. & sold about $90 worth of palm pillar (forevers) & my friend sold over $200 worth of masons..I guess its just the containers ppl like. The following weekend I did another show sold 3 pillars...Again ppl were saying how gorgeous, but no one bought...Don't understand...

Good luck Tuesday!!!!

P.s. I'd buy from you...if i already didn't make them...lol Yours are beautiful! What wick do you use? Just curious...i'm using 2/0 from Cierra Candles & Supplies for my 3 inch diameter & loving the little thin shell its leaving for the glow effect.
