Thank you so much for this video. I’m just about to start my candle business and I’ve just found your lovely channel. You’re literally the only candle maker KZfaqr that is in Scotland, that I’ve came across, and I appreciate you even more for it… I’m in Aberdeen. Much gratitude… sending love and wishing you lots of success.

Lovely video and thoughtful products. From a business perspective, how did you deal with multiple orders from no orders and scale up? I guess you were making candles at home, so if you have a small product, how many would you need before you go to a trade show so that you don't let your clients down by being unable to deliver? What is a good stock to start with? Thank you so much for making this opportunity to ask questions available.😊

This was so unbelievably well done, easy to comprehend, realistic, and very thoughtful. Thank you for the work you put into this video and inspiring me! I just had one question, how much does the buyer pay additional for shipping? Or does the seller have to cover any shipping costs? Thanks so much. Sending love from Miami, Fl.

Hi! Love your candles. So pleased you are sharing your experiences. I was wondering if you could help with sourcing good quality fragrances, wicks and wax please.

@IvyTwineCandles 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Laura! ☺️ will definitely be chatting about fragrance oils and wicks in the near future ✨ and I’ve actually just posted a video all about wax! 💚

Hey! I’ve really been loving your informative videos. I’ve been looking into making soy candles and I just have a question as I haven’t been able to find much information.. what are the rules and regulations in the UK around certain labelling and what labels you must have for safety / hazard reasons etc? Thank you so much! x

Hey thanks for the videos, they are great. I dont have ANY skills for candle making or business running. Do you think is still worth to start? Ir better not? Maybe will be too difficult? Maybe not worth it? Im so much confused. I need someone told me stop dreaming about other people lifes🙈😒 Its probably not enough just to buy stuff and wait till will be sold. Its so many things to learn and to know😟

What's the story behind the name : ivy and twine ? If you like to share with us please❤

@IvyTwineCandles 2 жыл бұрын

Of course! We wanted to incorporate elements from our wedding in the business name - as we first made the candles for our wedding. We had lots of ivy and the candles were decorated with twine! 🌿
