shimmerglo Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) I love the idea of layered candles with different scent in each layer, but I didn't think you could do that with Smelly Jellies or if anyone has tried it so I tried putting the scents side by side instead of ontop of each other. It actually works! I just cut a divider from the cover of an ice cream pail, and put it in the jar, put the 2 different scents on each side and slid the divider out.

Wessex Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 OMG, those are just like mine, you are copying me. LOL, just kidding!! Like the look of the side by side. Just some constructive critism, I would work on the labeling. A clear gloss label would really show off the product.Cheers,Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shimmerglo Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 LOL well too bad! JK!! I was going to go with a clear label, but money wise, the regular address labels worked for me right now. And I wanted to try something alittle different too. I try to get my "creativeness" on with the Smelly Jellies when our bloodhound puppy is sleeping (which is like NEVER! lol) But, I think they look cool and wasn't just something I copied from someone.

Alajane Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I love these! Would be interested to know if the colors bleed into each other after sitting a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazzie Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Should try Red - White - Blue.Great idea. Smelly jellies are hot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shimmerglo Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Should try Red - White - Blue.Great idea. Smelly jellies are hot!I'll try that today when the puppy is asleep. I could make all three colors scented Warm Apple Pie since it's the "all American dessert" (I think, if I remember right lol)And with the blue and white one in the picture, the blue is just BARELY seeping into the white. The white has a super duper light blue look to it, but it still looks good. And the Peach and French Vanilla one, neither colors are seeping into each other, each side is still very "seperate". Pretty much the same with the Downy Fresh and Fresh Linen one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOOdY_Girl Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 That is really cool! If the colors bleed, I cannot imagine it being too much since the liquid/dye stuff will have already been absorbed....love it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 If the colors bleed then just do shades of the same color or ones that work together; like light blue + dark blue; light green + dark green, etc. then they may look better if they do bleed.I do like the look of those though. Very nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shimmerglo Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Okay, an update on the bleeding. It must have just been how the light was hitting the blue and white one yesterday because the blue isn't bleeding into the white at all. Both are very seperate!

shimmerglo Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Simply awesome!! Check with Online Labels to get the clear ones.Thanks everyone! I know it doesn't take a rocket scientist to make smelly jellies, but silly little me was just proud of my "idea".I have checked Online Labels and even for the price you pay, you don't get the amount you would as if you just getting plain white, matte labels. And since I was kinda strapped for money, I figured the white labels would be better than either handwritten or nothing. I do plan on switching to them in the future though!And thanks country bee!!

Wessex Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I gave in to curiosity and checked out Etsy (usually don't visit it as I find myself overly critical of everyones stuff, LOL). I think your smellies look pretty good. I still think you should undercut them on the price, though (meow, LOL). As far as the clear labels, I usually use labelsbythesheet.com for my labels, unless they don't have a particular size, then go to Online Labels. Labels by the sheet has better prices on small quantities, and the labels work better, IMO. And for whoever asked, glossy labels look better on jars, IMO, the matte labels don't "disappear" on the glass, but stick out. Again, nice smellies, keep up the good work :smiley2:.Cheers,Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
