    Tart newbie

    I am using Ecosoya wax. I just put them in the container. I have been using flexible small moulds just to try them out. So far I am not getting much scent at all even is I leave them for a week. So I'm guessing I'm not putting enough Fragrance in them or that the fragrance isn't working...

    M & P question

    Hi Everyone. I found a picture I saved and it has a lizard half in and half out of a cup cake paper mould (sorry can't think of the correct name) and as I never saved the whole information I don't know if it was M&P or CP. I was wondering if you could do this with m&p or would it melt the paper :)
