nursenancy Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 For those who do these - where do you get your jars - besides ebay, freecycle, friends. Does anyone buy them wholesale?I just started making these beacause someone gave me a bunch of jars and they are so cute! TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyme1911 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Cute idea...what do you do to the lid ( to cover the print)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleMama6 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I would think that you might be able to get them from a supplier, but not sure who. I get mine from Freecycle. I also let people in my church know that I use them. You would not believe how quick word spreads and then you have a ton lying around. I have never had to buy any even when I have orders for 100+. I always decorate the tops with fabric and batting. Kinda the quilt looking top. The fabric just depends on what the occassion is.HTHMichelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursenancy Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 I got some (about 200) for free off Craigslist about an hour away from me. Now I have a couple of girls saving them for me, so it looks like I have a good supply for now. I'm doing peach, pear, plum, apple, baby powder in pink and blue, vanilla custard, banana, etc. I'm going to paint the tops white and use gingham fabric or ribbon for decorating. I also made a label with my baby pic on it. Those can be customized for a baby shower or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickerstix Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I also do the same..But have been wondering..If there were any lids somewhere that are a plain color to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 When I make them for baby showers, most customers like the original lids. Then I use labels that go completely around the jar (like the original). At times, I have painted the lid and then stenciled the top of it with a contrasting color. I use a simple stencil like a duck, teddybear, footprint, etc ... anything babyish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jharper Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hi, Ask your daycares in town they go through a bunch of jars a week. Jharper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PilotQT Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I am new to candle selling but at the moment already sell a TON of baby jar candles. (maybe people are simply still sampling my candles). Each jar costs 17 cents and each lid is also 17 cents (Canadian). All I did was google local bottle companies in my area and went down to one of them. Try your city as it is probably similar as bee keepers are around everywhere wanting similar jars. They were really nice and gave me a whole bunch of free samples in various sizes to try out. There's another company down the street from them that I want to try out next that makes square mason jars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
