Jess Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 This is my first creation and I just wanted some honest feedback from you guys. :smiley2: My company is having a crafts fair that is coming up in Dec. I was wondering....do you guys think this will sell? If so, I dont know how much to sell it for? I am also making snowmans. Thanks for your help!!

smellywax Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 If this is your first candle, I wouldn't think you would be ready to sell yet...it takes a long time to test...jmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 Well, I tested other ones that I had made already and they burned fine. How many do I need to test to ensure that it is good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 How long have you been doing this Jess?Christina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 2 months....I know its not that long but throughout the months I have been making a lot and testing them ....of course nothing fancy, just mainly containers and votives (single scents and colors)....starting off with the instructions that candletech had posted. I guess I shouldnt have said its my very "first" candle I have ever made but instead, after testing and making a good a amount, I feel that this particular candle is my first "success".What do I need to do more to make sure that they are going to be good?

dragontears Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 the container is cute but it looks like the wax is caved in? maybe its the camera i dont know , maybe test longer i tested over a yr and still testing pillars i want them to be perfect jmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonrose64 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 really cute santa candle.Just curious...What kind of wax is that to cave in so much? Is that container wax that is doing that?What kind of wick did you use? I was thinking of doing these too.Gotta know what scent you used. you forgot to tell us that. lol We always love to know what scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Love the container. If you have tested several to make sure they burn OK you are probably OK but from the picture it looks like the wax has sunken quite a bit. Usually you want a flat top with container wax. What wax did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 Thanks for the honesty, guys! I really appreciate it. The scent I used was Almond Pastries but I also made them in Sugar Cookie. I just used the votive wicks that I got from PeakCandles. I still need to trim the wick a little though.Yea, I will need to fix the hole later. Thanks again!
