It didn't take long after I opened
my Etsy shop for people to begin
asking for tarts/melters.
I've not been a user of
these things so making them seemed
a bit risky.
How much oil to put in?
What size should they be??
The first person to ask got a surprise
when I asked her if she would be an
official tester.
I would send her a couple to try
and give feedback.
Thankfully she was agreeable because
there were adjustments to be made.
Her tart melter was the kind that
plugs in like a night light
and so it required a smaller
amount of wax.
Turned out that full sized tarts were just
too messy to cut but I had a mold that
made them smaller.
I sent some to her.
She approved.
She had also recommended a
bit more fragrance oil.
My pleasure.
The result
was great, she reported.
So...since that day I have sold a whole bunch
of melters....and have gotten great feedback.
I'm very thankful for this new friend
who helped to refine a product that I was
not familiar with.
Last week I was in Goodwill and saw this
melter that works with the heat of a tea light.
I snatched it up.
It is my new fun toy.
I am using potpourri spice in it and love it
very, very much.
I have officially joined the
tart party.
You guys were right!
What a pleasant way to get your
home sweetly fragranced.
I now offer two sizes of
tarts. One for mini melters
and full size
for melters like mine.
Your tarts are fabulous!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYay! I love tarts!
ReplyDeleteI have several tart warmers. I prefer them over burning candles.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried it. Is it messy?
ReplyDeleteThis is all new to me. Glad you found a willing tester"
ReplyDeleteCool! It's great to have friends that are willing to help!
ReplyDeleteJulia,
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly they are not messy. I've been pleased that I can pop the wax out of the melter easily once it has cooled. Also Zuda Gay, my "tester", said that you can just heat it for a few seconds and it slides right out.
