DanaE Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 My husband built this, because i have an addiction to wicks. I also have some laying on the floor, and some bins are holding 3 or 4 different sizes! I tried to put one size per bin, but I didn't have enough.The file is too big. I'll resize it and put it up tomorrow morning.DanaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaE Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 A couple of the rows of bins are missing, I couldn't get them all in the picture. There's over 30 bins altogether.Okay, I need a 10-step program....Wait, gonna try this again and see if I can get some more of the bins in the picture...

sharyl55 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Oh I love your wall. Amazing how little makes us happy. A wall, some bins and a few million wicks and we are in heaven. I'm so envious of the space you have. My poor wicks live in boxes under the bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaE Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 My wicks lived in a box for a long time. I was going crazy trying to find the sizes I needed. I started spreading them out all over the floor.....So hubby bought a piece of plywood, got the boxes (they come 4 to a set at the hardware store) for a little bit of nothing, and made the wall for me.I have to say, the amount of time I save by being able to reach over and grab the correct wick immediately is enormous. And my irritation level has dropped by many percentage points. I used to get so mad when I wanted a CD6 and could find everything BUT a CD6 in the darn box that I wanted to throw stuff around. It's the little things in life that make us happy DanaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amylou Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 What a great idea. I will have to have my husband make something like that for me. Do you use all those wicks???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryinCary Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I'm somewhat of a wick freak myself, so that wall looks great to me!~ :highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candleslh Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 That is a great idea! Now if I only had a room that was just for my candlemaking supplies. It would sure be a lot better than the 3 different rooms I have it all in now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaE Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 What a great idea. I will have to have my husband make something like that for me. Do you use all those wicks????For the most part yes. The bins where you can't see the wicks are the ones where I actually took the wicks out of the plastic bags and laid them neatly into the bins. Somewhere along the line I got messy and just started throwing the bags into the bins instead of taking the wicks out.I make a million (ok, it FEELS like a million) different sizes and shapes of candles and I'm always experimenting. It's great to have any size I want on hand, so I don't have to order wicks to try out new molds or new designs. The only ones not getting used are the Hemp wicks and the lower numbered LX wicks. I have 3 sizes of hemps and just can't seem to find a use for them. I still test them in various candles but so far they don't seem to work in anything I make......DanaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
