Candle Mugs!

I've made candles for myself for a year now and when I realized the mugs I sell with my hand drawn art on them could double as candle containers, I knew it was something I'd want to do! 

Of course this didn't mean I could start selling candles right away. It was one thing to make candles at home but if I was going to be responsible for products made for others, that meant I needed to know everything about candles. So that's what I did. 

I outsource organic soy wax, and found fragrances that are Phthalate Free and spent over a year making sure everything was right before even thinking about selling them. I looked fragrance loads for each scent for the right scent throw. I made sure each candle gave an even melt pool and didn't leave a side unmelted. I tested out wicks and which ones worked the best and finally I tested different wicks until I found ones I liked! At this point every sale I had made so far in my business had gone towards these candles and I wouldn't change a dime spent!

Making these is probably my favorite thing to make in my entire shop and I hope you will give them a try! When setting them up for sale I first wanted every scent with every mug but it soon showed to be hard to keep a stock of them so now each mug has 2-3 scents that pair well with its design. My next step would be to make candle refills so you can always reuse the mugs as decoration. 

As always, thank you so much for believing in the MotherWolf Shop and giving these candles a try! As a mom trying to make her dreams come true while also raising and homeschooling two boys, I appreciate every sale and make everything you see with love!
