Thanks for your video. I like your packaging and wax melts. Where are people finding warning labels?

[@moonmysticcottage]

Just on Amazon. Search for "wax melt warning label"

[@fashion14353]

Where do you get your product photos from

[@moonmysticcottage]

My product photos? Like the pics of my wax melts in my shop? Or something else? I take all my own photos for my shop.

@@moonmysticcottage where do you get your backdrops for your photo photography for your wax melts

[@moonmysticcottage]

Just random things I have, stuff from the craft area at Walmart, etc. I try to use what I have.

@@ItsJessie915 no, it’s just two square wood panels propped up next to each other. They’re about 12x12 inches. I’m sure they do sell some on their site though.

@@moonmysticcottagewhat do you figure out how much the wax cost per wax melt? Like if I use 58.47 grams of wax and I buy a 2 lbs bag for $6.59 how do I find out the cost of the wax I use for that?

[@moonmysticcottage]

I usually break everything down to cost per ounce, both for wax and fragrance oil. I think it's best to break costs down to the smallest unit. You won't know how much wax a certain mold takes until you start working with some but you can at least figure out the cost per ounce of wax based off the price of the wax you use. So if a 2lb bag of wax (32 ounces) cost $10 US, then 10 divided by 32 gives you about 31 cents per ounce.
