Hello! I thoroughly enjoyed your video! Your bags of Fallen Leaves are gorgeous ❤. I’m in the UK and have just rekindled my wax melt hobby, so I’m totally inspired by you. The fun you have making them comes across so well. I totally understand that….experimenting and creating, with the view to selling, what could be better? So I’ve subscribed and am looking forward to more of your videos….I know I’d buy your melts 😊, Dawn xx

Hahahaha Tammy, your so funny! Why do these things come outta my mouth! LOL well when you first pulled those leaves out i was thinking awe she's so innocent! Haha then when you started unmolding them they really do look like maple leaves! 😂 but really do love your packaging they all look great! I think i prefer the wax melts because I'm afraid to catch someone's house on fire with candles! And of course all the testing it looks like has to be done with candles. That's the main reasons I haven't attempted to make a candle.
@WalnutCreekBathBoutique
11 ай бұрын
Hey Melissa! Yeah, well I’m probably more innocent than at 50+ year old should be LOL 😂. I am giving candles another few months but if they don’t start selling better for me I’m giving them up. The insurance along is about $150 MORE per year. So my profits really have to be good to make up for all that, then add in the expense of testing - I’m not sure it’s worth it. We’ll see what this holiday season brings. Thanks for watching as always 🧡

U gotta have some kind of a zip bag. They are so strong ur gonna wanna seal them back up n they last longer in the bags u can seal. The shrink bag once u open them ull have a block of sting wax u can’t seal back up. Even if u left them in the clam shells u can still close it n it closes w a snug fit, but when u took them away from the clam shells that’s probably why sales dropped.

I was watching your video, i think you'll find your sales have dropped cause you're fast tracking the setting process by freezing. Doing that causes moisture in the candle and they don't melt like they should. Try letting them air dry they will be so much better quality.
