ehatch1 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Hello everyone, Lately I have been working on creating new labels for my little 4 oz. quilted jelly jar candles, and thought I would share some of my product photos. The whole process has been a lot of fun and I am quite happy with the way they have turned out. The labels are printed on an adhesive-backed canvas. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clear Black Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Where on earth do you get adhesive backed canvas and have it be affordable enough to justify the cost? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Love them! Photos are great and so are the labels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehatch1 Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Clear Black - I found the canvas at Hobby Lobby, although it is also available on Amazon and a few other other places online. Five sheets for $10, and I can get 12 labels on each sheet, so there's 60 labels at about $0.17 each. May be a bit more than other labels, but worth it to get the look I wanted. Kandlekrazy - Thank you! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonstar Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Love love love !!! Im with you on justifying the cost of the labels - the lemon tea, which FO is that ? May I ask which wax + wicks you used ? I love how some of the font looks handwritten - great job ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehatch1 Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Thank you all! Moonstar, the FO is Iced Tea Twist from WSP; I just renamed it. I absolutely love the fragrance. I use GB 444 wax and currently CSN wicks, although I am testing ECO wicks and if they work out well would like to switch over to those. I have some CD wick to test as well. The CSNs are working just fine, but I like the look of the ECOs and CDs and they seem to mushroom a bit less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Once I have a little more money to play with I'm gonna order the WSP iced tea twist. I've always wanted to try it. What I'm not liking about the CD wicks is that theyve been leaving quite a bit of wax hangup on my jars & they get so darn hot. I have lots of ECO wicks so I should test those in my 464. Again, amazing job on the labels ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradshaw Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Those labels are gorgeous! Is that your handwriting for the scents? It looks so nice and I love the feel it gives the packaging. I'm going to have to try out the Iced Tea Twist - that sounds nice and summery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The labels are printed out using my inkjet printer; the scent names are printed using a handwritten font I found online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love what you did - so natural, definitely packaging that would attract me in a store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) With the Ice Tea Twist (WSP) being $40 lb do you find its cost effective using it ? Are any of the other FO's you have displayed WSP ? I have CS lavender but Ive been wanting to try WSP Lavender Sage. DO you have any experience with that one or other WSP FO's ? Thank you in advance I keep coming back to look at your labels - they are so - so nice Great job !

ehatch1 Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Thanks @Candybee @Moonstar The Iced Tea Twist certainly is pricey, but like the labels, it's worth it to me. I make less of a profit using the more expensive oils, but it's a profit nonetheless. I have also tried Gardenia from WSP and it is the best one I have found. My mother asked me to make a gardenia candle for her (she is picky) and she loves it. The lavender sage sounds awesome; haven't tried it though, as I use the CS lavender. I appreciate all the supportive comments! Thank you very much! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I finally ordered the Iced Tea Twist from WSP - Oh I just love it and regret not buying a bigger bottle Thanks for recommending it, its fantastic ! Now I need to work on some product labels. Any suggestions on a company thats user friendly, Im not super savy with this kind of stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't give any recommendations on labels, as I print my own, but I know many people who purchase theirs will probably chime in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
