Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 This is what I figured for tart selling in my area. I actually made 6 lbs worth of tarts. Packaged 29 bags each with 4 tarts in. I also have about 10 bags of single tarts. It cost me about $4.60 to make 1 lb of tarts. 1 Single tart $0.80 1 bag for $3.00 2 bags for $5.00 3 bags for $7.00 The lady downtown who sells soy tarts, sells a dozen for 7.95. So I figured I'm staying within a reasonable price range, making my money back plus I still have money to save for more wax fragrance or anything else I might need. What do you think?

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I make them for my own personal use with leftover wax from my candles.. I use leftover container wax I harden up with stearic acid, I get it up to pouring temp and pour into tart molds. there are certain waxes that work better and make a harder tart. A general blend or votive blend. You need wax/scent/color (if you desire) and a mold.. if they are just for personal use you dont need all the fancy candlemaking things to go with...

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I think the prices sound good. I'd buy them for that price. You will probably always find someone cheaper, but yours sounds like a great price. I would love to make tarts for my own personal use. Is there anyone who would be willing to share with me the ways to make them? I have no interest in selling them. -- Lissi <xyz_akaine@...> wrote: This is what I figured for tart selling in my area.
