How do I make a website to sell my gel candles?? Please help?? diane?

Friday, May 21st, 2010

I am a beginner and trying to start a business selling my gel candles. I make hand-poured, unique candles and am trying to figure out how to make a website for people to see my work and be able to order candles. I guess i need an e-commerce site for people to purchase things and I think I am supposed to set up a merchant’s acct. with paypal or credit cards or something. If anyone could please help me i would greatly appreciate it as I am a totally NOT computer savvy person, I just want to be able to sell my candles! thank you.

I assume you’re not familiar with OScommerce php scripts.

I suggest you download the Yahoo Sitebuilder. It will really help you in building your own website (if you don’t want to pay for web designers). You only have to customize the templates that the software provides.

MyWebbieHosting.com’s $4.95 plan also include a Site Builder where you can just personalize the templates that they provide, almost like yahoo site builder. I also suggest this web host because their domain names are only $9.50 a year, and if you sign up with any of their hosting plans, the first year of registration is free.

Good luck Diane to your candle business!

How much gel will it take to make a candle?

Monday, May 17th, 2010

I am wanting to make gel candles. I just want to make the average size candle like you see in jars or decorative ones in hi-ball glasses. About how many candles could I make with 10 pounds of gel wax?

It depends upon what else you put into the glass as well as the volume of the glass (they do vary) and how high you pour, how close to the top edge. I can’t do the math on weight vs. volume, it is better to figure out the volume of the 10lbs and then divide by the volume of a highball glass. An instruction set for this type of thing can give you a better answer.

Magic Candle

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

This candle really is a lot of fun – and people that have never seen it before will just be totally amazed!

Initially it looks like a big plastic flower, with the petals closed. Using the three plastic prongs at the bottom, you stick the candle into the cake. (You only need one candle per cake). At this point the candle gives very little away!

Using a match, you light the little stick that is provided, and you use this to touch the centre of the candle.

Firstly, the candle lights like a small firework. This can be done indoors, and does not harm the cake.

Secondly, the whole flower opens, revealing 8 petals, each of which now has a little lighted candle on it. Everyone goes ‘wow’ when this happens!

Third, once the oohs and aahs have subsided, you will hear that the Magic Candle is now playing Happy Birthday!

Although there are eight petals and eight little candles, we think you could use it for a birthday of any age, not just an 8 year old!

Can i use scented oils for gel candles to oil my scalp?

Friday, May 14th, 2010

like i used to make gel candles and still have left over materials. i have scented oils to make the candles smell good but since i don’t make candles at this time i wanted to find other uses for them besides burning them in one of those oil burning dish thingies. i want to use this oil to oil my scalp since it’s dry and itchy and i don’t want to use any mineral oil or petroleum based gunk and T/gel doesn’t work.

is this not such a good idea or what? i don’t have the packaging that the oils came in so i don’t know if it’s harmful or not for hair but it’s safe to use in gel candles.

please don’t do that. products for the skin and body are first tested for safety. the chemicals used in the products you are speaking about may do terrible damage to your scalp. just use them in the oil burning dish and use olive oil or something for your scalp…(:.)
