racolvin Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 To those that make votives in quantities for wholesale accounts: How do you make yours? Do you have piles of individual votive molds and wick pins? Do you use those metal votive molds that are attached in a row of 6 or 8? Do you make yours in the little 2-cavity plastic clamshell votive molds? I think we can all agree that making tealights is a PITA and for me, making votives isn't much better. I like the idea of the plastic clamshell votives but that's just 2 at a time. If you've been making lots of votives for resale, how do you go about it?

Scented Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I just use individual molds and pins, spread them out in rows of whatever I need and pour. I can only make up to about 50-60 at a time, because I need to replenish the pins that went crooked and/or get about 60 more pins and I could do about 120 at a time. Usually there's votive day, since my space is small and they take up room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceangazer1 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I also use the individual molds. I started with molded candles in 2001 and they are my favorite to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I also use the molds. I like making each one sepperate. Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredron Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I have soldered my votive cups to some copper sheets I get from work. Then I just line up the sheets & go to town.Fredron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
