They all look great. What wax did you use? What type wicks?

The wicks in the pink double wicked may be a bit too far apart and the wick on the left is a little too close to the edge of the container which may cause the jar to get too hot imo.

I love the decals on your containers....very cute!

Welcome to the board

Thanks dnj; I use GB 464 soy wax and I use stickers that I get from Hobby Lobby to put on some of my jars. Thanks for the advice on the wicks; I will try not to space them so far apart.

good gravy, how many different containers do you use?

They are very pretty colors but I would hang myself with a roll of raw wick if I thought I had to test multiple scents in that many containers, LOL.

Beautiful job!!!! Love the colors and the containers!! LOVE the stickers ......you have to seperate yourself from the "big" dogs and offer product that is unique and different...SMART thinking!!

Thanks everyone. Well for right now I use a few containers; if/when I sell I do not plan on using all of these containers. The reason I had so many containers is because I got a of sample containers free and bought some that I like before I really started making candles because I wanted to have a variety of containers. My mother called me the "queen of jars"; lol!!!!!!!!!! Now I have narrowed it down to a few.
