kdmorgan Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 These are just adorable!!! My girls just love them. If you google "candle taper shaper" You will find alot of places to buy them. I found them at Candlechem too.http://www.candlechem.com/equipment.htm(scroll down the page) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwahlton Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Very cute. I stopped sharpening mine. And people bought them up without the point. Mine is in a crayola type box. They always sell well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwahlton Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Does anyone know or have used a shrink band that fits the crayons from the sports bottle ice cube mold? I know the lip balm tube wraps are too small....:smiley2: Thanks,TrishTrish I do shrink wrap each of mine. The .5 oz tube shrink wraps work perfectly. I think I got them from Elements.

k&g Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Trish I do shrink wrap each of mine. The .5 oz tube shrink wraps work perfectly. I think I got them from Elements. that box is sooo cute ... do you print each out yourself? asking cause it must use a lot of ink!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwahlton Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Thanks. Yes I "did" print them out myself for the longest time. Then I went to the printing store and had them do it. I figured the cost was worth it because I was always running out of green and yellow! It took me a LONG time to make that box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k&g Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 ...I was always running out of green and yellow!

Thanks Julia - what are you using for a mold? I have that 20-30 cavity ice mold for sports bottles....going to check Elements now (which is a mistake big time )Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k&g Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 ok - I lied :embarasse - I do have another question!Does anyone spray the mold with anything to get the 'crayons' to come out easier? We had a tough time getting them out - did put them in the freezer for a while - but it was still a task to remove them.I brought a 'prototype' to work this week and have orders for 12 boxes for next week. Plus we have a craft fair this weekend and we want to bring some along. We'll be up all night trying to get the soap to release from the mold!Any suggestions appreciated.

Jcandleattic Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 I just put mine in the freezer for a few minutes then pushed on the one end and they popped right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trishsmecca Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Yup sounds like the same one and the dowel is a good idea.Thanks Julia.Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlena Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I checked our Wal-Mart & they didn't have them! We have 3 Wal-Marts I could check the others.....What part of the store are they located in?Thanks,~Carlena~www.carlenascreations.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Try the kitchen section where they have the utensils and also the sporting good section where they have the fancy water bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlena Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 THANK YOU! I checked those places at this Wal-Mart so will go to the others soon......do you think Michaels or Hobby Lobby would carry the Candle Taper Shaper? Appreciate it! My son since I've shown him these has asked me I swear 'everyday' if I've made them yet.....LOL.....he wants to 'draw' on himself he said he WANTS a mustache like Daddy - but shoot I just read they dont color very well - hmmmmmm.........EDITING: as i found this sharpener would this work better?http://www.thekitchenstore.com/cash.html~Carlena~www.carlenascreations.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 EDITING: as i found this sharpener would this work better?http://www.thekitchenstore.com/cash.htmlI'm sure that would work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smellylittlemonkeys Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I was wondering if you would mind sharing how to do this box? My three year old and two year old love both coloring and taking baths so I am sure they would love these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
