wildangel112 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I'd love to know as well though it looks like they'd be a PITA to pour up:wink2: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I've been looking at these too. CS has them. http://candlesoylutions.com/thumbnail.asp?offset=0&deep=1&cid=18They sell a little bead warmer too. They are kinda cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxhill Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Carmen I have seen the molds for these somewhere but can't remember where. They are silcone or latex just tiny little cavities. They have the overflow channels so you just pour into one spot and all of the cavities fill in, then just pop them out. I'll try to search and see if I can find the molds again but its been at least year since I've seen them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alightsoy Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Off the top of my head, I can't remember which supplier is carrying these. I'll look and get back to you with the name.Anyway, they come this way from the manufacturer and are available in a limited number of scent/color combinations. You buy them from suppliers in 5/10/25 pound bags and then package them however you like.I almost did it, but I stuck with the breakaway melts because I can offer them in the same scents and colors as the rest of my line. I didn't want to have 1 line of scents for the beads and a different for candles, if that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alightsoy Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I would love to know where you found a mold for these! I've never come across one.Anyway, the vendor I saw them at was Moon Glow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scent Cellar Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I sprinkle some of these of the tops on my container candles...especially the food scents. And use them on top of my bun candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 If you look at the scent names, they are the same as the Beanpod line. Just buy them and repackage them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blest2BAmerican Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Someone gave my mom a jar filled with these a couple of years ago. She just had to put a wick in the middle and light it. It melted like a regular candle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebcandles Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Wow, they are expensive! Cant wait to see if someone comes up with a mold for these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamyra Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I think a mold for "red hot" candies would work for these. I know a mold maker makes them I have seen it but could not tell you. If I find it I will let you know.Tamyra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol M Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 That sounds like a good idea, or even a mold for mini chocolate chips or M&M's. They wouldn't have to be the same exact shape as the ones shown; and a slightly different shape would make yours unique. I came across a chocolate chip mold the other day with 100 cavities for about $16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLJ Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Several years ago a buch of us were using Kraft Jello Jelly Bean Molds and selling these in little draw draw string bags. The jelly beans were larger that these "beads" but same premise.Mary Lou:cheesy2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLJ Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Kraft is still making the mold:I hope I attached this picture correctly. If I did not it is on the Kraft site under molds,Mary Lou:cheesy2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLJ Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 http://jellostore.archway.com/cgi-bin/cornerstore.storefrontAll their molds are 3.50. At Easter time I use the egg mold to make egg soapput them in egg cups and used them for table decorations and gave them to all my guests.Mary Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I guess you could use mini marshmallow molds, right? But, I agree...alot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLJ Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 If you all are serious about trying to make these...there are a few things I can think of doing. You can all make your own mold using store bought dry beans i.e. navy beans or black eyed peas. It really isn't that hard to do you can buy the silcone kits at Home Depot or Lowes. You could also try a pastry bag and drop the wax out on to a cookie sheet. You could also try pouring a layer of wax on a cookie tray then break it up in small pieces, package it up in small bags and see if the concept sells before you invest anymore time and money into it.I the jelly beans sold...I think I stopped making them because it was too much darn work:D .Mary Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol M Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I made some of these yesterday using my chocolate chip mold, and they turned out so cute! The only thing that made it hard was not overfilling the cavities and having a "skirt" around each one when it came out. This is where a mold with the "trenches" would come in handy. I had gotten a couple of the Kraft molds at a thrift store last year for a dime each and never used them. I poured some of these, as well, and even though they were much quicker and easier, imo they didn't have the eye appeal of the little ones.

vcash Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 its a large machine that rolls the wax through tiny holes and the wax sets up immediately, as they are rolled through they are scraped off...walla...wax beads. They are awesome but pratically impossible to hand make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorrie Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I carry them too. They are also referred to as Scented soy drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiptooth Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Funny, I was thinking about these a little bit ago when I was thinking about going to the store to get plumbers putty for my mold. I was contemplating getting some copper tubing, pouring wax onto cookie sheet and then using the tubing like a cookie cutter, but then i was thinking they may all get just stuck up in the tube and probably wouldn't be able to push it all out.

Connie Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I think about a month ago someone had 2 of those molds in the classifieds. Don't know if they got sold though. They are really quite big and kinda expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
