Little plastic thingies

[Flickering Dream]

I would like to order some of those little plastic thingies that are put on the top of candles before sealing them and I know I saw some of you talking about them a while back, but I can not find the post.

Does anyone use them? What are they called? Where can I get them??

Google doesn't know what to do when I search 'little plastic thingies' ! LOL

Please help.....Tom

I can't help you because I don't know if the "little plastic thingies" you are talking about are the same I would be talking about. But your response that google can't find it gave me a good laugh!!

lol @ google.

are you talking about the clear plastic with the hole in the center? i think those are just lids for containers. if you are talking about something different im not sure what it is.

Thanks for the replies. I looking for the plastic thingies that are put on top of a pillar candle before it is shrunk wrapped. They usually have a whole or two so you can smell the scent too. I see them on the pillar candles at the store all the time.

Any ideas?

you can find some here:

not sure if this is a good price or not. It's just the only place I've seen them

search google for plastic candle lids, or plastic candle covers. i think thats what i did before and it brough up a site. not sure if that is what your looking for or not but worth a shot

i thought people just punched out a hole in the top of the shrink wrap lol

Thank you Jennscandles and Dee!

'Plastic End Caps', now who thought of that for a name . . . Little Plastic Thingies just seems to make more sense. LOL

Thanks again Tom

.04 cents each ! ! !

OUCH !

That is a bit ridicules. I guess one is paying for the fancy name, 'End Cap', and three holes. Now if they were called 'Little Plastic Thingies' and only had two holes I'm sure they would be about .01 cents each.

Oh well, I guess I'll order 1000 and then start figuring out a way to make them myself - CHEAPER ! !

I just thought of this...with gel candles we used to get a box of those plastic transparencies (for the overhead projectors) and cut what size we needed out of those. We'd use them to keep the gel from getting dusty.

That might be a better option for you, if you haven't placed an order already.

That is exactly what I was thinking of when I was looking for a clear sheet at Micheal's.

Thanks Jen! I will have to try an office supply place.

Just think of the possibilities...you start a new business making them and selling to all the other people looking for "little plastic thingies".

I'm looking for those "Little Plastic Thingies" for the container candles. I guess they are just a sheer piece of acetate with a hole in the middle for the wick that sits on top of the candles. I wonder if the end caps would be the same thing?

[Jenny]

Ahh, yes, the little plastic thingies. Doesn't that guy who married that girl carry those? You know, the guy with the shirt.

Yes, I am sure that an office supply place would carry "little plastic thingies". I've seen alot of "little plastic thingies" there . . .

Know what would make cutting them way simpler? A punch... like a scrapbooking punch, and then another to punch the holes for the wick... if you choose to cut them yourself.
