QTsmum Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I am willing to invest is some good quality jars. It's a bit tougher being in Canada, in that they are harder to come by and you have to give your first born to cover shipping costs, but I would really love to have pretty jarred candles. I'm far, FAR from being a seller, but I want to keep my eyes open for deals, just in case we should get so lucky! What do you love? What do you have customers comment on? Is a lid necessary? (could you cover it with fabric and ribbon to pretty it up and allow smellability whilst keeping your candle 'fresh'?) I just have jelly jars and some cheap hex jars that were on clearance, not all that thrilling.So, yeah...which jars do you dream about in your sleep?

Chefmom Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I really love the square Victorian jars, they are so classy. However my candle tests didn't fare well as the small neck seems to trap the scent throw. I do use the small ones for spice jars and the husband promises to make a spice rack to fit them. We'll see on that one, I'm not holding my breath.I love the quilted crystal Ball jelly jar, when the flame burns through the facets it is really pretty, however I don't like the threads at the top. For me the perfect jar would be a quilted crystal jar that is 3-inches in diameter and 3 1/2-inches high with no lid threads. Kind of like a Waterford whiskey tumbler, but considerably cheaper. In the real world I live with the plain tumblers, small and large and when I'm really in the mood I paint them seasonally and then fill with white or light colored wax. Scented of course.

chuck_35550 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 The 12 oz salsa jar with the gold lid is the easiest to wick and most cost effective. I can get them cheaper than jelly jars and they look upscale enough to suit most customers' taste.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
