What’s a must have in your business that you absolutely CANNOT live without??
My brother finally moved out of our small attached house and my husband and I decided today to turn it into our candle shop! I don't have much money to invest in anymore stuff until we sell more consistently so I feel this video will be great for me. I do card stock dust covers as well but we use a custom stamp that has our logo and we cut the circles ourselves. It's a lot of work. We are currently working on getting the small house cleared out and cleaned but looking for inspiration and stumbled on your videos. I don't think people understand just how much work goes into making and selling candles. Especially if you're not tech savvy like myself and are not good at networking... Like myself. But I am really hoping to change all that over the winter and be in business full swing by spring.
Love the dropper taped to bottle idea! Thx
omgosh i love the idea of taping the pipette to the FO bottle!! genius. thank you for the tip I'm definitely stealing that! also, I don't think it's "cutting corners" by DIY-ing for your biz. i see it as being smart and keeping costs down. all of those things affect your COGS and I'm here for it.
Yes ma’am! True that. Keeping costs lower that aligns with my morals and ethics ❤️
Lol. When you mentioned Canva I thought of my cousin. She had this invitation made in Word and I was like girl no 😂
Could you do a content video on when to begin production for different seasons (fall, winter, spring, Christmas, etc.)
I love your videos!
the contact paper/ foam board idea is brilliant ! thank you!!
I’m gonna be honest, I felt really smart when I thought of it 😅
lol I can imagine ! I went straight to amazon to get a few papers, I can't wait! @@laciej
I’m so grateful to come across your channel🎉💜 this helps a lot!!
Great idea to tape the pipettes to the FO bottles for repeated use. Pre-mixing FO is definitely something I'll start to do.
Thanks for sharing! Great information!
Not the Canva crickets 😂 Love your content so much! Thanks for everything!!!
😅 glad you enjoyed!!
dollar tree has stick on back splash stickers as well
Ooh, that’s right! That’s a great idea, especially if you’re just buying a few.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this! So helpful!!
It's the backdrop for me.❤❤❤
Gonna save so much money with this idea!
Terrific idea about the board and contact paper! 👍🏽
😂and here I am thinking I’m a genius bc I tape my pipettes to the bottles! Another tip is using painter’s tape. I use it to label my silicone cups (love those too), pouring pitchers, especially when I’m making the fragrances over a period of time. Don’t forget using it to label info, like wick size, date made, etc. on test candles. Love ur DIY tips, must be the clever teacher in you.
I got my cutter from Dollar tree
Why I didn’t think of pre mixing in another bottle for our signature blend… ugh Thanks for the tip.
I used to mix every time I made candles and one day my brain switched and it’s been so much easier!
I know everyone is saying this, but seriously the contact paper and foam board idea is pure genius. Thank you so much!
I’m not always creative, but when I am, I share ☺️
thanks so much for these kinds of videos it really helps me out as a beginner 16 yr old candle maker
How do you plan ahead in releasing your scents?
Thaaanis
Lol, sharing all the good stuff.
Girl I just bought a backdrop stand on Amazon
If it works for you, keep it!
@@laciej I get it today I’m so hyped to try it out
Do you experience any fragrance loss scent with not using candle lids?
Where can I find the dust cover maker in the video?
I purchased all dust cover materials off Amazon! I’m sure your local Michael’s or even Walmart may also have some similar materials, too.
Deep throat... I love you😂😂😂🥴🥴🥴😵😵😵
Hahahaha love you!! It’s a direct quote 😂
