candles4ever Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Wickless candles are a hot seller in my neck of the woods. The ones with the light bulb in the middle. I can't make enough of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustpuuppy Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I used to make these silly things that were sort of like closet deodorizers.For my part I just mangled a coat hanger and wrapped it in cloth that was soaked in scented wax. Made a ball out of it, covered it with a colored fishnet/mesh type material. Can't remember what it's called. Then I tied it together with a ribbon.Ya hang the silly thing in the closet. It smells really good, keeps the closet fresh. Every couple of months, you hit it with a hair dryer and it's good as new.Never got around to making them to sell but a few people I gave them to seemed to love them.

Candybee Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 How about some potpourri? Lots of blends you can make on your own or buy preblended. I've seen some adorable ones with wax tarts mixed in and packaged in cute cello bags or bakery bags. One seller I saw at a craft show mixed up a beautiful batch of potpourri with cinnamon, orange peel, etc and put in a large tin tub with a scooper for customers to bag their own. People went crazy over it and you could smell it when you walked by their booth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barncat Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 im thinking about a chunky/bowl filler type potpourri. I ahve to stay to country/primitive so that limits me just a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 The tarts I was talking about were prim crows and hearts. You toss some into a batch of country spice blend potpourri. Or just do some country spice blend potpourri without the tarts. Either would do nicely in a country primitive store. (But the tarts looked adorable)The crafter had them in one of those rustic old washtubs that people use for planters. If you do it that way you need a big batch of potpourri. But it sure did attract a lot of customers. No one could walk by without sniffing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candles4ever Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 The sky is the limit with country primitive style stuff. How about those orneries you put in the potpourrie there are so many places to look at for that kind of stuff. Along the way you might find something else you can do that will fit into what you want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
