I saw this idea on a blog eyeballs by day crafts by night which was wrapping plastic candy canes with homespun fabric. I made them a couple of years ago and some have sold but this year I thought I'd update some of them by dipping them in scented wax 9 I've gone a bit wax dip made this year ;oD
These photo's don't show the detail as I took them quickly without the proper lighting. I'm not sure whether to sell them singly or in packs of 3.
Now for the disappointment
I bought some new candle scents, they said they weren't diluted but in the listing they did not suggest how much to use. I followed the instructions from another sellers listing; who recommended 5ml per 100g. So as I was mixing 2 scents, cinnamon and apple, to make my cinnamon apple soy candles; using 400g of wax and added 10ml of each scent making a total of 20ml which equals 5ml per 100g. But I could not smell anything so I added another 5ml per scent (I did mix them before adding to the wax) = 30ml - 7.5ml per 100g.
I left it at that and poured the wax. I made 8 and I have lit one to test the scent throw. This is were I was so very disappointed. I couldn't smell a thing ;o(. My only course of action is to see if I can dig out the wax from the tins and re-melt and add more scent. I will give this a go tomorrow.
