Hello! It's me again with another awesome question about selling wax melts. A few people have asked me now to ship to Canada and the UK. I know that as a US seller, I would still have to have compliant labels (and registration?) to ship to the UK, so that's out. I can't seem to find...

Does your business claim any of these things? I do not have these statements because it seems "weird" to me since I don't grow my own soy beans or have complete control over my supply chain (I don't make fragrance oils, for example, I buy them from crafting websites). I work hard to make sure...

I'm just curious and exploring possibilities. My market has been primarily online, but I think my current name may be limiting me. I love the niche audience I have, but I think I'd be more successful with a more generic name. Has anyone else been through the rebranding process? Aside from the...

I am in the process of moving off of Etsy, so I will be able to offer more. I do wax melts primarily, so I was thinking of offering more options. I usually use mica, but some people prefer dye or color/glitter free. I usually stick to about 30 different scents, but I am thinking of offering a...

I always do wax melts in shapes or brittle. One of my friends said cups are more popular than shapes, so I should offer them too -_-. The thought never crossed my mind since to me its extra plastic and $. Is there a good place for inexpensive cups?

On occassion, I sew little bags to put my creations in or for gift giving. I know copywrited characters are a huge no no. I picked up a generic apple pattern and began to sew when I noticed the print "for non-commercial use only." The other fabrics I bought don't appear to have this and they too...

Has anyone else had issues getting this one to throw in melts? I can't tell if I'm nose blind (I tend to make more potent bakery, tobacco/earthy and fruity types) or if it's just more subtle since its a perfume type? I know its not my recipe, as I made 4 trays, which requires me to prepare it 4...

I'm just curious as to how the holidays fare for other businesses. How soon do you start preparing? This is my first year in business, so I am not sure what to expect. I started working on my fall stock, but sales have been "ok" so far (BUT it is only august). I'm steering away from soaps and...

Hello again! In my constant need for improvement, I am trying to better source my storage bags. I was wondering how others store their candles / melts? I haven't had any issues with the plastic bags I use (I have recently pulled out a melt I made back in Jan and it had no fragrance issues), but...

I may need to order some big bottles from them soon (yay growth!) and a few shades of mica. I've also been seeing credit card issues listed on Facebook :/ Has anyone ordered since the new site is up? I love the one ounce scents I got or is it better to just wait until I need to order from...

Hello! I *think* this is my first time posting in the business forum? Thanks for having me on the forum, if I haven't said that already. I haven't been making things very long, but I have found all advice I have gotten to be helpful. I started making wax melts last August or so to help cope...

Does anyone use candle wax on canvas? Trying to find good use for my leftover melts :)

I love aroma beads - aka car air fresheners. They are cute and fun. (I am a craft person, can you tell?) My question is, what is the best way to keep them from sticking to the pan when I bake them? I was using tin foil, which WAS working fine up until yesterday. I'm not sure if my oven is on...

I kind of like the idea of adding pumpkin flakes to a base for color and as a mild exfoliate. Would that be considered a cosmetic then? Either way, I kind of want to try it because I think the results would be pretty. (If it would push it into a cosmetic category, I would just have it for...

I love mica. Love it. I have some dye blocks as well, but I mostly go for mica. Anyway, I want to try liquid dye for marbling (rather than dye blocks). Any good recommendations? I wanted to try a Crafters Choice sampler, but they are water based, and the instructions say not suitable for wax...

I had a friend gift me a few bottles of crafter's choice (purchased within the last year) and I can't find an expiration on the bottle. Usually I see one? Is there a way to look it up?

It seems like every crafter (especially for wax melts and soap) starts out saying the same things I did. "Wax is expensive and I'll save money if I start making it" or "This looks like fun" with no intention to sell. Then, friends and family start asking you to make things, one thing leads to...

Hello :bunny: I have been trying to make soy wax melts for awhile and still cant seem to get it right :/ My first attempt used whatever wax they sold at Hobby Lobby, but that had no scent when melted and became discolored fairly quickly. Even after letting the wax sit for a few weeks, the...
