Starla's Candle Making Best Picks

My pick of the best places on the web to go to for candle, crafts, instructions and some fine "mom and pop" wholesale shops. In no way do I receive any money for the links, nor am I advertising for others. It is strictly what I like.

Room Spray Scenters

Recently, a request came in for information on making room sprays using candle scent. Here are a few places on the web, I would suggest seeing.

Just By Nature sells the air freshener room scented base liquid with super easy instructions. Also selling 4 ounce spray pumps. This would be my pick, if I was going into production for resale. A liquid base and just add your scent. I would want colored bottles though. I don't like the look a plain clear glass spray pumps.

Remember to package your spray pump attractively. People want to purchase something pretty. It will need a really cool label or some other attractive package. I like the brown colored bottles with the primitive looking labels.

Excellant Living Guide has room spray instructions for sprays made from water, grain alcohol and fragrance oils (fragrance oils are candle scents in most cases)

Specializing in soapmaking products Snowdrift Farms has complex instructions for using essential oils. Fantastic place if you have any skills in chemistry what so ever! I love their dried herbs and they sell in smaller quantities. Perfect for the beginner.
