I just read your story and I now i really love you. I can relate. I started making candles after my Mom passed. May your sons light shine forever and may God comfort you and bring you joy.
Awww... thank you so much! I hope candle making continues to help you with your Mom's passing. I'm so glad we connected on here... life can still be amazing!
This came right on time. I'll be hosting my first candle making workshop in February and have been gathering my supplies and trying to find resources to help make sure I have enough. This event will have about 20+ people. I've been buying things little by little over the past month. I appreciate you sharing these tips. 🙌
I am so glad to have found your video. I successfully hosted my soft relaunch of my candle business. And my next project was a candle making party!!! The information shared is sooooo helpful.
Thanks!!! Part 2 and 3 will be filmed on April 14. Sorry it's taking so long... but the facility I'm using was being renovated. I'm always here to answer a few questions.👍❤️
Thank you! Always well done and so informative! 😊 About to launch my candle business in 3-4 weeks and yikes, the testing, esp for the wicks, has been insane! Started with too many different vessels, different types of wicks -cotton and wooden wicks with too many fragrances. The only frustrating part so far has been the wicking! Using the Cocobright wax from California Candle Supply and adding a bit of beeswax as well now. Very frustrating 3 months later as I’m still testing for at least half of my vessels and fragrances.😵💫🤪😅😂 I plan to host some home candle making events by Springtime. Thank again for this great video, truly appreciated! Especially loved the idea of adding the different fragrant wax tins so everyone can decide more easily on what they’ll prefer to make. Happy and Blessed New Year to you and yours.😊
Wow... I remember the testing all too well...LOL. It does make the brain a little stir crazy. Just don't forget to breath. Good Luck and let me know how things go. Glad I was here to help.
I will add the links to similiar trays this week. The trays that you see in the video are actually from Hobby Lobby... and are not available at the current time.
Thank you for sharing this video. You have helped me a lot with all information. I have a question how much should I charge for me hosting the party besides all the supplies. Tysm
So far… I haven’t had to advertise. It’s been by word of mouth. I do one party… and book 3 more. But when I’m ready to advertise it would be on Facebook pages for businesses.
Yes they are a little pricy, but a great investment. The are stainless steel and can last a lifetime. I suggested buying a couple at a time... and then buy more over a period of time...as you grow your business.
@@wilcandles Thanks for the great video. I ordered them. I was just asked to do a class. I almost said no because I have never done one before but decided to go for it.
@@JacquelineFalls54 Good for you... you can do it..!!! Let me know how it goes. Part 2 is almost finished... I'm trying to have it up before next week.
Hello Sherry, I was wondering if you have a party of 6, how many wax jars do recommend? Also do you do farmer’s market to sell your candles? My concern is the melting in high temperatures. Thanks. Martha.
for a party of 6, I would take 12 jars... in case someone breaks or messes up their jar or an unexpected candle maker shows up. And yes... I do farmers markets... not usually outdoors in July or August... seldom in June. I have found a few indoor markets during the summer. Hope this helps!
Okay so this is like my 4th time watching this video. FO is expensive. You allow for a lot of different choices in FO's. I think selecting oils is one of the fun parts of the class but how do I minimize costs? Like can I get away with just 6 FO choices?
Yes you can.... you can always offer 6 dif fragrances... maybe to increase your collection by offering them in a different size or style candle jar. This allows your collection to offer more.
No... the facility that I am using to make the video in is having some renovations done. Hopefully that will be completed by next week. Stay tuned..😎❤️
Hopefully in the next 2 weeks. The party house that I am using to create the video is under renovations that is taking longer than I expected. I may try to come up with a video that I don't need to be onsite.
@@wilcandles Good luck. im trying to get started with selling candles but prefer learning to do the shows. i’ve been making candles for 8 years with my bf she has a company. i’m struggling with wick sizing my vessels🥹 at this point im losing faith in the c6 wax. i’ve always used soy and switched
Love this! Don’t forget a liability waiver.
I just read your story and I now i really love you. I can relate. I started making candles after my Mom passed. May your sons light shine forever and may God comfort you and bring you joy.

This video is Amazing. I am definitely saving

You are very welcome. Part 2 should be up by Sunday. 😍
Thank you for the information. I love the video.
You are very welcome… and thank you ❤️
I love this information. I just opened up a candle bar in my city
Oh Nice!! I was hoping this information was going to be helpful. What state are you in...if you don't mind me asking.
@@wilcandles Missouri
I’m in between if i should have the same size vessels for every one to start out with and have them upgrade if they want
@@vivianspears9969 Perhaps the same, but in different colors if possible
Hi there, great video. When will you have Parts 2 and 3 out ? 😊
Thanks so much... I'm working on part 2 now. The facility that was using is being renovated... so I had to come up with plan B..😀. Should be soon.
Love all the info. Do you have a link for your trays? Can’t find them.
I will add the links to similiar trays this week. The trays that you see in the video are actually from Hobby Lobby... and are not available at the current time.
Thank you so much for this video, Do you have any wax recommendations to use for candle hosting? Or is that going to be include in part 2?
You are very welcome 🌸 I use Coconut Soy Wax C 6
Thank you for sharing this video. You have helped me a lot with all information.
I have a question how much should I charge for me hosting the party besides all the supplies. Tysm
Did you watch part 2?
@@wilcandles yes I did thank you so much very helpful
Thank you this is the best video i have seen. When will part two and three be available?
Aww… thank you so much ❤️
I’m working on part 2 now… the facility is being renovated that I wanted to use.. so I had to come up with plan B 😀
Great video and information. How do you have customers sign up for the event and pay for it? Do you have an app for booking events on your website?
Thanks so much. ❤️
I’m currently working on part 2…that will give more information.
I’m waiting for part 2
The facility that I am using to make the video is having some renovations done... but I'm ready as soon as they are finished 😍
Hello Sherry,
How do you advertise your classes?
Thank you. This was helpful!❤
So far… I haven’t had to advertise. It’s been by word of mouth. I do one party… and book 3 more. But when I’m ready to advertise it would be on Facebook pages for businesses.
@@wilcandles Thank you. Your videos were very helpful.
Do you have recommendations on how to price and candle making class. What would you say is a reasonable price per person?
Between $25 & $55… per person. Depends on what you offer
This video is amazing! Thank for sharing ❤️ can I ask what wax you are using in your classes? And obviously the same wick for every fragrance?
Thanks and you are very welcome. I use coconut soy c6 wax.
Wow! The wax pourinf picture with spoon is $16.99
Yes they are a little pricy, but a great investment. The are stainless steel and can last a lifetime. I suggested buying a couple at a time... and then buy more over a period of time...as you grow your business.
@@wilcandles Thanks for the great video. I ordered them. I was just asked to do a class. I almost said no because I have never done one before but decided to go for it.
@@JacquelineFalls54 Good for you... you can do it..!!! Let me know how it goes. Part 2 is almost finished... I'm trying to have it up before next week.
What do you give the host for having the party in their home?
You could give them a goodie bag, with a few of your products. 3 is always the magic number for items in the goody bag.
Hello Sherry, I was wondering if you have a party of 6, how many wax jars do recommend?
Also do you do farmer’s market to sell your candles? My concern is the melting in high temperatures.
Thanks. Martha.

@@wilcandles Yes. That was very helpful. Thank you.,
Do they take all supplies, did you print out information on waxes etc
No… they just take the candle they made. No I did not print out anything.
Okay so this is like my 4th time watching this video. FO is expensive. You allow for a lot of different choices in FO's. I think selecting oils is one of the fun parts of the class but how do I minimize costs? Like can I get away with just 6 FO choices?
Yes you can.... you can always offer 6 dif fragrances... maybe to increase your collection by offering them in a different size or style candle jar. This allows your collection to offer more.
@@wilcandles Thank so much. I might just have to pay for a consultation since I have so many questions.
@@JacquelineFalls54 It's free for now!! 😀
Was part 2 and 3 uploaded? I can’t find them.
No... the facility that I am using to make the video in is having some renovations done. Hopefully that will be completed by next week. Stay tuned..😎❤️
when will you have your second part of how to host?
Hopefully in the next 2 weeks. The party house that I am using to create the video is under renovations that is taking longer than I expected. I may try to come up with a video that I don't need to be onsite.
@@wilcandles Good luck. im trying to get started with selling candles but prefer learning to do the shows. i’ve been making candles for 8 years with my bf she has a company. i’m struggling with wick sizing my vessels🥹 at this point im losing faith in the c6 wax. i’ve always used soy and switched
I need part 2 so I can stop watching part 1. I've watched part one twice.
That is so funny...LOL. Not to worry...its coming soon! 😄
