Standley Handcrafted It went AMAZING. Because of you, I got perfect candles the first time and continue to do well. Just about ready to label, package, photograph and launch. Thank you SO MUCH! I used your example of the Alex method. For me, this has been brilliant. Strong hot and cold little or no shrinking. I got all of the wick sizes right after binge watching all of your channels and stick to the HTP wicks for now. Strong hot and cold throw. No sink holes. A little frost now and again, but it isn’t anything my handy dandy heat gun won’t take care of. Again thank you so much! I wish internet had smell-o-vision so I could share. 😂

Vanilla, Macintosh Apple, Caribbean Teakwood, Nag Champa, Japanese Cherry Blossom and my spring/summer scent is Coconut Lime that I call Margaritaville 💚 Trying to narrow it down to those was such a difficult decision! There are so many good ones, I tested about 20 different fragrances. I think I will probably add Mahogany Coconut, it’s a really good one too! I also am still looking for a good Strawberry.

Ashley Hill Hello. I’ve been at this for about 3 years now. So wanted to chime in to help you out a bit with your strawberry. The absolute best strawberry that I have found to date that doesn’t smell like a strawberry chapstick or hard candy is either Sun Ripened Strawberry (421) from Wholesale Supplies Plus or Sweet Strawberry from The Flaming Candle. But if your looking for the most fresh picked kind of strawberry my favorite is Sun Ripened. Now it is about $40 a lb. but I wait until they have their 25% off sale and get what I need then. So instead of $40 I get it for $30. I know that may sound like a lot but it’s worth every penny! PLUS, at WSP anything over $25 is free shipping. You do still pay a handling fee but it’s worth it to me. The Sweet Strawberry which is a Yankee Type is $18.49 lb. Anyways, just thought I’d toss in my cents. Have a great day! 😇

Pumpkin Spice ANYTHING !! For me, it actually sold in areas you wouldn't think it would " go " ( like in the south where we were wearing shorts on Christmas Day ) . I think a lot of people burn it to make up for the fact it's either too hot to drink something hot, or they just want that feeling of being " in " if they don't have a SB or something like that around. And, in some cases, not all, it reminds snowbirds down here, of colder, crisp falls and winters they no longer have.

I’m from the Virgin Islands and it’s extremely limited when it comes to purchasing candles or supplies. I have started testing my soy 415 candles as of last week but Candle Science products to ship here is a problem. I have ordered fragrances from The Nature’s Garden and will like another option as well. I feel where I’m located with proper advertising my candles WILL sell since it’s a small community and it will save people time and money to buy it since it’s a home based product. ❤️

I'll hold out on finances, but I'm not planning 60 gift candles and I'd like to be able to put a few things together. So scent choice is important on versatility and universal appeal.

Hi. I’ve been dabbling with making candles for about 4 mos now. So far I have not been successful in finding the right wick size for the vessel type and soy wax or fragrance scent throw. Sometimes the wick will start out with a real nice flame only to fizzle away to almost nothing. I buy my supplies from Amazon because of the free shipping but I’m not sure if the wax and essential oils they offer are equivalent to those of professional candle supplies companies. I really enjoy making the candles and I want to get really good results for my money. What are your thoughts on this?

Hike up that price, and focus on quality candles! you can't let others try to hold you down. Yeah, Walmart candles may sell for cheap, but you also get basic, generic fragrances, and toxic wicks. I've gotten dollar store candles that have nothing but tunneling too, plus the scents were way off to what the candle says it was supposed to smell like. Keep you eyes on your target market. Me personally, I plan to sell my 16.5 oz candles for close to $30. I'm marketing towards health conscious people who are also looking for unique fragrances. My market is not people who get all their candles from Walmart. Really, you should do your research. Look at what your competitors are selling their candles for. Go off of your base price (which is how much it cost to make the candle, including your time for making it. Take that price, times it by two, then take that price, and times it by two again. Then hike your prices up based off of what your Target Market, would pay, and what your competitors are selling for. Find your Niche. Something that people can't just get anywhere. (For me, I'm selling geeky witch candles to geeky witches. So... Yeah. Find who you want to sell to. Avoid that "Dollar Store Stigma"! Also, add things to the candle, or package that will justify the price in the eyes of your customers, such as nice packaging, maybe wooden wicks if you can afford it. Get creative.

Some people may find white is classier but dye can personalize and give a more unique look. It’s pretty cheap to buy some dye square and just shave a little into the wax you really don’t need a lot to dye a ton of wax

I need to find a good coconut wax yo use with both my candles and wax melts. Or do you recommend that i use 2 different waxes? Cause im struggling bad. I bought alot of coconut 83 i believe and i dont like it. It will not hold fragrance oils well and when it sits up you have white streaks in them. Im scared to even try a candle in it. Can you plz help me cause i have tried alot of waxes. Now im kinda stuck with with i got and need to use it to make enough money to buy more.

I add around 1.5oz to 1lb of wax and I mix my oils at lower temps.

How about rose 🌹 scents don't they sell as vanilla?

Rose is a very tough sell for a lot of people. Florals I’m general are probably the least favorite out of all categories.

I also wonder about that... they are very expensive, but I love their natural aromas and healing properties...
