Hi All

So I have decided to sell my soaps and candles at the craft fairs this season. Because they are cheap and readily available I am going with JJ's and 4 different sizes but they are sooooooooooooooooo boring.

I have dressed them up with a little twine, homespun, tin hearts and salt dough ornaments and I think they are much more attractive now, but.... should I put a separate warning label on them warning people to remove all the trimmings???

thanks for any input

I always assume that people are idiots. Maybe include a warning that trimmings need to be kept away from the flame? Sounds like common sense, I know. But you can never tell with some folks.

I always put a warning on the jar, in addition to a hand out in the bag with more extensive information on candle safety, how to get the best burn out of your candle, etc.

Well I have all the hand outs from when I had my store. I have info/safety cards for both candles and soap (for the lye a phobes lol). They are usually on the table with the candles and hubby or DD who do my packaging at shows normally slip both in the bag with a re order form :smiley2:.

This is just the first time I have really trimmed my jars with anything. I used to just buy pretty jars lol. Most of the do dads are attached to the lid anyway so hopefully they will take a hint lol.
