😂 You can tell your husband I thought the same thing about the "maple" leaves too! All I could think was "Oh, that poor woman. She doesn't realize..." 🤣🤣 Love the video (as always).
I think it's because they're Japanese maple leaves instead of Canadian maple leaves. But, yeah, they do kinda look like, uh, something else! 🤣
LOL - yeah, I would have no idea hehe, I may be what you would call naive! 🤣
So which form of packaging do you feel sells more or brought your sales up?
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
aw, thank you so much for your kind comment! I really appreciate your taking time out of your day to share such encouraging words 💞 Thank you!
I think the colorful molded ones will be a bigger hit.
A friend did mention people seem to be doing candles more rn vs melts.
thanks! the small shapes are def an attention grabber I have found.
You are a Hoot! I enjoyed this video. Alot of good info. Thanks for the 😊.
So Glad you enjoyed it! 🤗
I love the new packaging. I like that the customers can reseal the bag after grabbing a few.
Thanks Tammy!! Fingers crossed this works 😆😃
Loved this!!! So much help and fun!
oh good! I'm so glad you like it! 🤗
The leaves are awesome, the different colors make me think of.. well... fallen leaves 😅 Keep on with the keeping it awesome!
Aw, thank you!! 😊
SO cute!
thank you! I appreciate your watching and commenting!🤗
Just the cutest, 😍
Thanks Clivia!!! 🥰🥰
I love the bag packaging! The colors came out really nice, too. Well done, Tammy!
Thank you so much Nora! Fingers crossed they sell 😆
I made melts for my familiy. I love my cute little siliconforms. I use for packing cheesepaper and no color or glitter in the soyamelts. And only natural oil. All are very happy with this, and I too.
Thanks for sharing!!
The bag packaging is an awesome idea! Lots of great tips again, thanks so much. - love your videos
Glad you like them! I’m hoping they do well for me! Thanks so much for watching and your kind words!🥰
I love these Tammy
Thank you so much!
Hey Tammy! Love your sense of humor! The wax melts are adorable, they look awesome!!
Thanks so much Becky! 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing ( newbie here) love your melts and clamshell packaging ideas. 🧡🍁 love your shapes too. 💛
Thank you so much!💞
I was looking into silicones for cost purposes. Thank you!
You are so welcome! 🤗
Such a cute idea. Love the little shapes better than the cubes. That's just me. Hahaha. Great job they are adorable. 💕
Thank you sweet lady 🤗
Hahaha you are priceless! Lukewarm haha. I love the look of the bags ❤ Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks Heather!! 😍
😂😂😂 "If you're lukewarm, just walk away!" I love your personality. ❤ Stay Sassy!😊
haha - I'll try 😆Thank you!💖
Met a vendor at friendship that has met you and said exactly what I thought about you. A pure sweet lady. Love that idea. When I first started making melts that’s what I wanted to do but as you say it takes more time. Maybe I’ll try it again as I have a whole Tupperware of molds lol. ❤
really Maureen?! Wow, small world! And thank you (both LOL) for the lovely words 💕💕💕
These certainly do take a lot more time, fingers crossed it pays off! I had to cut myself off from ordering more until I test these out - not quite as addictive as fragrance oils but I can see getting myself in trouble with them 😂🤓
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 love this idea! I have a whole box of wax sitting unused and a craft fair coming up! PS: Those are definitely pot leaves, btw. :) and I love them!!! Will you be at the Center Grove Fair?
Oh good luck with your show! I am not going to be in Center Grove - I have a show in Greencastle that I organize and I believe it is the same weekend.
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.
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 🧡
"If you're lukewarm, just walk away." 🤣🤣🤣
Girl, you crack me up!
I love the new wax melts! This is such a cute idea. So many possibilities! Fingers crossed these sell like hot cakes!
Hilarious! And then the note to self. 🤣💜
Haha, seriously I don’t know why I say those things - thanks I hope they sell like hot cakes too!!! 🥰
I used Pillar of Bliss and my melts have no hot scent throw Cold throw is great
I'm really happy with my Problend but it is def trial and error.
I also stopped comparing my tarts to Scentsy - they have probably tens of thousands of dollars a years into R&D - I don't LOL
😂😂😂😂 more than the information I like the way U explained
Glad you liked it🤗
I thought they looked like cannabis leaves, too. Good that you double checked. Was kind of hoping you would add a light green in there, for the full spectrum for fall.
But Wow, how adorable! Hopefully these helps.
I like burning wax melts better than candles, also.
Lukewarm, just walk away... 😅😂😆😉😅
Crackin up! 💕 it!
Cheers 👍🤗
LOL Cheryl I really don’t know why some of these things pop out of my mouth 🤪. I honestly didn’t even think to add any green…next time! 😍
Maple leaves 🧐
😆 - I believe there is a debate on that!
I love your videos ❤ you are such a ray of sunshine, I love it!!! I also am going to sell mine at the same price so what would you say profit would be, apart from supplies? How do you measure out your wax and fragrance oil for silicone molds that are different shapes, it really confuses me lol
aw thanks so much!!! It costs me around $1 - $1.20 for the bags. Not a great mark up actually with the 4 for $18 but they are selling better with the bags.
with the measuring out - I just wing it LOL and then after the first pour I can figure out how much to wax is needed. - a smarter way would be the water measurement but that is too much work for me LOL
Any tips for a web platform?
Love your relatability
I can only say I hated square (but that was years ago and I think it is better now) and I am mostly satisfied with Shopify. None will be perfect though
I have the same xmass tree molds and find it tedious to fill them.
I absolutely agree they are tedious! I would not even consider them without my pancake pourer thingy I have. -NO WAY! haha😂 and even with that it can be tedious
The packaging is good and I appreciate you not putting all the plastic from clam shells out into the world.
thanks!! 😀
I've left a candle going all night long twice this year! SO I have a candle warmer with auto shut off now. Do you think a vessel with your wax melts on them would work? That spiced pear is calling my name...
Hey Molly! Yeah, I’ve left them burning a time or two and it is scary! I don’t know if they would work on that or not - they are meant to be over a light bulb but I imagine anything the is hot but not too hot would work (LOL - that was super helpful wasn’t it!)😎😋
I totally agree that streamlining prices makes it way easier, especially for shows. I was able to leave the husband at the table for a short break and know transactions could proceed 😅
haha - that is saying something! 😂 - I always tell my husband "you have to look up and smile!" he is not a people person 😆
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique see my husband is the super social and outgoing one, but he used to get nervous when I would leave to use the bathroom or something. By simplifying prices I know he's not stressing out. I'm honestly the one that only leaves home when I need to lol 😅
I love the fallen leaves they are adorable. Do you have the link for the bags?
Hey Theresa! Thanks 😀- I just added it to the description box but here it is so you don’t have to go looking for it - www.clearbags.com/4-11-16-x-3-x-7-1-4-outer-dimensions-kraft-backed-stand-up-zipper-pouch-bags-100-pieces-zbgkc46.html
Hello, love your videos can you tell me what kind of wax you are using. Thank you
thanks! I use ProBlend from the Flaming Candle - for wax melts I do add a bit of paraffin to harden them up a bit tho
Hello have you ever sold your wax melts wholesale? The 1 oz or the 3 oz clamshells? If so, how much was your wholesale price?
I have not wholesaled my wax melts, I have 1 wholesale account but she does not need melts or candles. They are available to wholesale though, and I would sell them for 50% of my rental charge. Currently $5 (so $2.50 each). Hope that helps!!
Hi Tammy, I love your videos.
Do you know what I can add to my wax to make my melts harder? I use 650 problend right now and I will like to sell my wax melts individually.
Thank you.
Hi! I add 10% IGI 4625 pure paraffin to my 650 - it really helps them to pop out of the molds when making and the burners after burning - 90% problend, 10% IGI, and 9-10% fo (which tweaks the wax % a little)
good luck!! 💖
Thank you Tammy for the great advise. Good luck with your business and the upcoming holiday season.
What type of wax do you use for melts?
Problend 650 (I believe - always getting the numbers mixed up - but it is the Problend from flaming candle) I use this wax brand for my candles and tarts. One is 600 and one is 650 🤓
Hi, do you sell the steel funnel? Not sure what it is called…
nope! I got this from Amazon - here is a link amzn.to/4aM2Zoe
Where did u get the bags at I can't find them
Hey Deborah! I am glad you asked because I forgot to add the link to the description box. I did just do that but here it is for you - www.clearbags.com/4-11-16-x-3-x-7-1-4-outer-dimensions-kraft-backed-stand-up-zipper-pouch-bags-100-pieces-zbgkc46.html
How have the new wax melts done?
They have been much better! I can't seem to get anyone to buy any wax that isn't in the cute shapes in the bags. I have a fair number of the clam shell forms left and even marking them down people want the shapes 🤔😃
I'm Canadian, I thought they were pot leaves 😂
Haha - yeah, My husband made me nervous for a bit LOL
Definitely thought they were cannabis leaves:) Doesn’t help that the mold is green😂
LOL that is true! The green def adds to the illusion 🧐
Does clear bags have bags for snap bars
they do! I can't say for 100% this is the right one but I can say I bought it at some point in the past LOL

@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique I want ones that zip on the top
@@ItsJessie915 sorry , I don't know about that one. They certainly might have one.
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique ok
Those are actually pot leaves.
oh no! Are you sure ?!? I googled it! LOL
