OMG thanks so much, NOW I can finally go to sleep. After spending hours watching videos, yours has truly been the most detailed, informative and photographic. I want to say thank you soo much. This has truly helped me answer all of the questions I was not recieiving from ALL the other youtubers. I am 100% subscribing to your channel. I am a visual learner and I just hate when I watch youtube videos of people who spend 10/25 mins talking with NO pictures or details explaining their line of craft or what the video is actually about. AGAIN Thanks So Much, this is my new home and I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Thanks for sharing and helping the rest of us out!
Thank you for making this video! It's short sweet and to the point! ❤️❤️❤️
You're amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us 😊 🙏
I have been waiting patiently for a video from you. Thanks so much for the shipping ideas.
Aw thank you! Glad you liked it. :)
Thank you for all you things you do you are amazing
Aw you are too kind! Thanks for watching. :)
Super helpful!!
OMG. LOVE the dust cover. I would love a video of how you make it on your Cricut. Soooo cute.
Thank you Bri! I'm in the research phase, and your videos have been the most helpful!
Aw thank you! That's always my goal of putting these out is just to be helpful. I'm glad you enjoyed!
God bless you!! Your videos are so helpful 💛
Aw thank you!
I love everything you do… Just trying to start with my business but still in the testing process. Much success, God bless & thank you for sharing!! ❣️
Thank you so much! I wish you the best of luck :)
Thank you for sharing! ✨
Hi Bree, I’ve been following you for a while now and I must say, your awesome! I love your videos! Very informative, short and helpful. I’ve learned a LOT from you! May God continue to push you higher and grant you more new ideas to take your business to the higher level!
Thank you you all you do and for share!!❤
Oh that is so nice of you to say! Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Very Helpful Tyfs! Perfect Continued Good Success ❤😁
Love your videos. Can you please do more packaging videos like some with the cement jars and tin ones together
Thank you so much! Yes I will try to include more packaging scenarios soon!
Hi I appreciate your videos! Would you be able to go over how to calculate the fragrance ratio to wax! Can’t seem to get the candle to have a great cold or hot throw.
Hello! Thanks so much. I can try. Math is not my strong suit and I probably won’t explain it best. But I can try! Lol
@@calafiacandleco mine either 😅 which is why I’ve been scared to proceed with my candle business, because of too many trial and errors.
Yeahhh. Thank you Bri ! Can you tell me how much it cost you to ship ? Which service ? USPS ? Priority?
Your video and link are awesome. 😊
The price really depends on where it's going. I use either USPS or UPS. Whatever shopify shows me is the cheapest. I would say I typically pay between a range of $8-$14 depending on where the package is going.
This is very helpful. Can you share the link as to where you get the box of the honeycomb/tissue wrap?
I'm glad! You can find it under the "packaging" tab on my Amazon storefront linked in the description.
Great video again🙂. What kind of bag was that you used for the melt sample please?
Thank you! They are glassine bags from clearbags.com. I’ll have to add a link for those!
Hi, how does your stamped logo hold up during the winter (rain/snow)? Does it fade away? Have you ever intentionally wet your box after you've stamped it to see what would happen?
Awesome vid as always, Bree. Have you tested the seed paper? Like did you get some nice flowers from it?
Yes, I did! I will plant some again and try to remember to take some pictures :)
@@calafiacandleco ok, great!
You are amazing let me know how the soap dish is working out for you? I am looking into a soap dish as well.. possible a round one. Let me know
Sorry just now seeing this! I need to look into a different sealer for the soap dish because the sealer I use for candles is water based. I think it would wear off pretty quick with wet soap being placed in the dish constantly.
Hello I love your videos! Thanks for sharing. Do you know of any other companies that sell the molds as I can’t find availability for the 3.5 sizes.
Thank you! I would suggest browsing on Etsy. There are a few different suppliers on there that might have that size. :)
@@calafiacandleco hi Bree I know this may seem so newbie but could you do how to print our package slips or how to make the shipping label
Love your work! Do you worry about wax melting during shipping? Have you had any issues? Thanks for your awesome videos!
Thank you so much, Kim! I haven’t had any issues (that I know of) using this method of packing. I even shipped last summer to my parents who live in the Arizona desert, and my mom said the candles held up almost perfectly! A slight bit of sweating on the top of the candles, but hardly anything.
@@calafiacandleco That's wonderful!! Thanks for letting me know!
Thanks for the info! Do you use this same method in the summer? Thanks
Thanks for watching! Yes, I do. I just only ship Monday through Wednesday in the summer to avoid the package sitting in a hot warehouse over the weekend.
Awesome to hear it works out. Thank you 💕
What size are your logo stamps please largest to smallest?
Thank you!❤😁
The large wooden logo stamp is 2" x 4.5", the zazzle stamps are (from largest to smallest) 2.65" x 0.9", 2.15" x 0.78", and 1.8" x 0.65".
So do you only put the weight of the product in Shopify and not included the weight of the box and packing materials
I wish you would've showed us how you packaged your 3 wick candles as well cuz those are a different shape.
Hi there! I do not have any 3-wick candles. I currently only have the candle pictured in the video.
Hi again! What size dust cover are you using?😊
Hi Karissa! I actually don’t use the dust covers anymore, but I want to say they were 2.95”.
Can You make a video clearly breaking down the candle math that you use.
I'll add this to my list, although I'm not sure how well I would do at explaining. Math is not my strong suit! haha
What size shipping boxes do you keep on hand? I'm struggling with knowing what size to have for people who order multiple candles. I also use the same size jars as you
This is something I still struggle with lol. For one candle I use 6x6x6, for two I do 12x6x6. I have bigger boxes on hand, but am still trying to find the perfect ones for 3 and 4 candles. I have 8x8x8, 10x10x10 and 12x12x12 on hand.
@@calafiacandleco thanks so much bree! You gave me somewhere to start! I appreciate it :) also can't wait to see how you like your new mold ;)
