Default STAMPED CANDLES

Has anyone sold their stamped candles at Craft Fairs or other Craft events? If so, for how much?

I didn't actually have any at a craft fair but a woman's organization I'm in had a silent auction and the larger 6" tall sold for about $6.00 and the 3" were $4.00 -- I think. This has been a couple of years ago. They're probably worth more than that at a craft fair. HTH.

I made some that I thought were very tasteful and pretty. I put glass stands under them (found on sale) and wrapped them in celophane bags tied with a bow. They looked beautiful and I thought they would go like hotcakes. I never sold a one!

I sold some of my forgotten ones from last year (I forgot to bring it to the craft fair last year) on the Arts Festival I participated in September, they were the ones from Dollar Tree and I sold them for $4.

They've never sold for me. I didn't even carry any this year--sold all previous ones at my garage sale this summer...

I've sold 6" pillar candles at several craft fairs for $10.0 each, but this coming weekend I'll be doing the Junior League of Louisville Xmas Art & Gift Market. This is a pretty big event and for it I will charge $12.00 per candle. Where else can you get a gift for $12.00 in this strapped economy? Photos of most of my candles are in my gallary. Let me know if you think $12.00 is too much, so I have time to change my mind (and price tags!). Bad Bev

Your candles are lovely, and I think $12 if it's a Jr. League thing might go over okay. At least in this area, JL is known for being a bit more "ritzy." ;-)

Hi Cathy!! Hope you are well!!

Selling candles have been my biggest hit at shows. I sell the taller ones and place them on a primitive looking tin. I wrap in a cello bag and tie it with ribbon. I sell them for 8 dollars and here in farm country Ohio, they sold like hotcakes!! My biggest seller by far

I added a glass coaster and put them in a clear bag with ribbon on top and sold the candles for $10 each.
