Fire and Ice Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I remember several weeks ago some posted about money candles. I was curious so I was thinking and think and got started research it a little. But all of the Money candles I've seen are pillars or something similar. Thus far, and my research IS limited, I've never seen a money candle poured in a jar. Why is that? I even went the site where they make candles with wood wicks Viginia Candle Company and their money candle is not in a jar either. also I found out the make Money SOAP too! And I wondered how they sell?Does anybody make money candles in jars? I also wondered where to get a small container to put the money in before placing it in the candle.Not that I plan on making and selling them. If I do, it won't happen till mid next year but I'd like to have the protecter for testing!Thanks for advice and information,Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizbizzyb Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I would love to know as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesprite7 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Just a thought...could you just roll up the bill and put it in a heat sealed pouch? I think this would work especially for soaps...maybe not for candles though... may wrap in tin foil for candles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlebean Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I found a site that sells money candles in jars, so at least we know that it's done...http://www.bitsandpieces.com/^Banks+%26+Money^Money+holders/08-W9381.html?rel=C&relid=2952 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra Phelps Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I did a money candles. I just made the label with a 100. bill on it. They sold, but not a big seller. If I could convince them that the bill was real, I might have sold a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I bought one several years ago in a jar, $ was wrapped in foil, of course only $1.00!! I'd love to make them, but every time I think about putting out $100.00 on top of supplies, I just buy more supplies with the $$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 Well I was thinking that they would only be sold during the holidays and not year round. That way, the customers look forward to them! I've noticed many of the sites really charge a good amount for them too!So If I sell my regualr candles for $12.00~ how much would you sell a money candle for? I think $15.00 or so is about right.

I would think there must be another way other than tin foild, A small metal container I can just sink into the wax would look more professional to me.

kandlekrazy Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I agree about tin foil sounding cheap, but you really didn't see it at all in the candle, just after it burned about 1/2 way down and it was laying flat so it could be removed easily. I don't even remember the company name or I would look for a website. I want to say I bought it in a gift shop somewhere along the CA coast as we were going to OR.

candlesprite7 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I dont think it looks bad...here's what I came up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 That looks fine, but when it gets pulled out it will leave a hole in the candle. The hole will fill in with melted wax and I think it will work fine. The one I bought the money was folded flat and wrapped flat in foil with the ends crimped in and when you got to it you could pull it up with tweezers and then burn the rest of the candle fine. I think either way will work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dallas_Texas_Dean Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I would use a coin as opposed to a bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 I would use a coin as opposed to a bill. I like the idea of coins too but what's the biggest denomination besides a silver dollar( that sounds stupid but is there a bigger denomination than the siver dollar?) I want larger amounts than that in a candle. That would certainly work for the $1.00 though, I agree! But because I want them to sell well during the holidays, I want some to have $10.00 and $20.00 bills in them too. I don't live ina big city. I live in a rual community that has a good tourist attaction to it. with Amish Communities close by. But again, I'm still in the research stages of this idea. Do those who make them offer a variety of scents? I'd think you have to woudn't you? Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 The one I bought was actually unscented. Do they have a money scent anywhere? I would do something that makes you think green, like minty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWickChick Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Now I'm not sure where you would find this, but what about a little glass test tube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Now I'm not sure where you would find this, but what about a little glass test tube?Nope. there's a good chance it would crack, I'm looking for something metal or a tiny foil pouch that I could Iron closed. I think that would work too! Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
