Ever wondered how much you should sell your candles for?
First you need to work out how much they cost to make. I thought I would share my Costing worksheet which I've been using for years, where I've captured the main elements that make up your candle. Of course, you may have a slightly different list, just change the elements and prices accordingly.
The instructions are in the spreadsheet itself, click on the link below that will take you to Downloadable Product page
Happy candle making

Ever wondered how long you should burn your candle for?
How to burn your candle
Trim the wick to 6mm before lighting Burn for up to 4 hours. Burning for durations longer than 4 hours will accelerate the burn time (resulting in shorter candle life). As the wick gets longer it produces more soot due to the wick itself burning. Stop burning the cande when approx 1cm of wax is left in the jar, this will prevent the glass getting too hot Read MoreI came across a great article about setting up your business name & domain name along with setting up Trademarks. A must read.
