After reading about making the scent samples with candy molds, I decided to finally try it. I went to Michaels and got some heart molds.
I made Angel Wings and Hot Apple Pie so far. Man - this is FUN!!
I can't remember who first came up with it - but GREAT IDEA! They look adorable and I got about 35 samples from one votive.

Shira~ I am so glad you are having fun with it. I had to order some like Debra from Ebay. I could not find any here in my area that were not larger than the actual votives themselves.
Many Blessings,
Natalie

If you use a strong candle like SOCP, French Vanilla, Cinnamon Tea, Apricot & Freesia you should be fine. All of mine smell very strong and I tested out a SOCP star in my melt warmer in my bathroom and it worked great!!

Thanks Christina! smileys/smiley2.gif
Today I stapled a heart scent sample (in a baggy) to each tear-off of my tear-off flyer. It looks great and I think people will like "tearing-off" a scent! smileys/smiley14.gif
