I left off a thermometer but we test the melter so it’s up to you if you want students to have one.

Thank you for sharing it as I made some wedding favors at a wedding just recently for my friend, and one of the bridesmaids wants me to do a candle party Another video I saw because I don’t have my own shop while people are waiting. She was playing golden girls bingo so that’s another idea to do is play games whether you have a shop or you’re in someone else’s home. Thank you for all the tips as I’m looking to add this for more income

Thanks so much for the info. What size/ brand of vessel do you recommend for candle classes with wick recommendations to keep it easy and simple for the class?

@StandleyHandcrafted Жыл бұрын

For most waxes a smaller vessel is great so you don't have to deal with sinkholes unless the wax doesn't do it too bad., Plus a smaller vessel hardens up quicker.

@ekpcreationscandleco.9062 Жыл бұрын

@@StandleyHandcrafted I have tried several types of bottles and found that bottles for lotions/shampoos, with a screw on top that also flips open, has been the easiest for customers to use. Easy to open for blotter strips, smelling in the bottle and pouring out the oils to measure.

Do you let them blend fragrance oils? Do you use only one wick with your jars? I always wonder how these candle making places allow customers to blend their own fragrance without testing

We use double wicks for this vessel and they can blend if they want. We let them smell and blend if they choose. We do offer input but up to them if they like the smell or not. :)

@@StandleyHandcrafted But do you test all the combinations? Everyone always says to test EVERY single FO, but how can you do that when offering classes? I'm always concerned that the candles are safe. Do you just use the wicks that work for the particular jar?

@StandleyHandcrafted Жыл бұрын

@@shareekascreen6346 No, for this application, the wax, the wick, the vessel and what ever oil we use it is going to work almost 100% of the time. If anything it might burn a little lighter with some oils but not enough to ruin a candle. This vessel and wax combo works perfect with the LCS 45's and the LCS 50's, for the classes we error on the side of safer and use the smaller wick for all oils.

Suppliles for classes are expensive. I know if you do regular classes you can make your money back over time. Have you heard of situations where the people requesting the class paid for the supplies and the teacher just gets paid for teaching the class?
