Finally, you can order good quality glass candle jars with no minimum! I’ve ordered from this website’s parent company, The Jar Store, for years, but my main complaint was always not being able to order …

Here is the special ordering info on a secret page! I got waylaid by Mother’s Day, so I wasn’t able to get this out this weekend. As a result, I’m going to wait until Saturday to place the order.
Quick info: Bath Melt Molds ~ Lotion Bar Molds ~ Stainless Measuring Cups ~ Ordering Info
These are plastic chocolate craft molds (not as durable as the professional stuff, but less expensive than the “real thing”) in super-cute seasonal shapes. The imprints are small, which makes them great for bath melts made of pure butters and oils.
There are 8 – 12 imprints per sheet, and the sheets are about 9″ x 7″.
I love this shape — I’m going to tint them pink-orange, I think, and use a tropical fragrance (mango? passionfruit?)
Diameter: 1 1/2″
Depth: about 1/3″
Availability: Can get 12.

Maybe for the 4th of July? Stars are just a cute shape, especially in multi colors.
Diameter for Star 1: 1 1/8″
Depth: 5/16″ (just over 1/4″)
Availability: Can get 5.

Diameter for Star 2 (below): 1 1/8″
Depth: 7/16″ (almost 1/2″)
Availability: Can get 5.
Another cute shape for summer.
Diameter: 1 7/8″
Depth: around 1/3″
Availability: Can get 5.
Diameter: 1 3/8″
Depth: 9/32″ (a little more that 1/4″)
Availability: I can get 8.
Diameter for Shell 1 (below): 1 3/8″
Depth: around 1/3″
Availability: Can get 6
Diameter for Shell 2 (below): 2 1/2″ (large!)
Depth: 3/4″
Availability: Can get 4.
This is what we used in the shop for our honeysuckle/rose bath melts.
Diameter for the first mold:29/32″ (almost 1″)
Depth: 23/64″ (about 1/3″)
Availability: Can get 5.
Diameter for heart mold 2 (below): 1 1/4″
Depth: about 1/3″
Availability: Can get 7
I can also get bigger hearts, up to 2″ across. They look the same as heart 1, just larger.
These are for making bigger bath melts (ones that are bath bombier and have more powder than butters), and lotion bars. I don’t have the photos for each, but I do have dimensions.
Heart dimensions: 2.5″ x 1 3/8″
Depth: 1 3/8″
The madeleines are more like bath melt size.
Dimensions: 1 5/8″ x 1 1/8″
Depth: 1/2″
These are large, and I’m getting them specifically for making lotion bars. A bit experimental, but more eye-catching than plain bars. Then again, can you go wrong with plain bars?
Dimensions: 2 3/4″ square at base
Depth: 1 1/2″
Dimensions: 3 1/8″ x 1 1/8″
Depth: 1 1/8″
Expensive, but so nice to have. Plus, the largest size goes to 2 quarts. They all look the same, so I’m only posting one photo:
Sizes, from smallest to largest:
Set price: $130 ($153 individually.)
Just like old days, I’m going to take pre-orders. Email me what you want, and I’ll send you an invoice with PayPal. You don’t have to have PayPal to pay the invoice — you can use any major credit card.
If the availability info is wrong and I can’t get what you ordered, I’ll just give you a refund before I place the order with the supplier. If you have any questions, just email me.

For people on my lists, I’m setting up a group buy for cosmetic consulting. Many people have weighed in with their preferences, and the majority of responses have fallen under these categories.
Bubble Bars
Such as Lush’s. This should be pretty straightforward — it’s a lot like making a bubbling bath bomb with liquid foaming agents.
Food-free bath frosting
Yes, there are many bath frosting recipes online, but nearly all of them involve some kind of food ingredient. This bothers many people, and the bath frosting made from powdered sugar or meringue powder doesn’t dissolve!
Eco-friendly household cleaners
Like Mrs. Meyer’s stuff. I would especially like to know how to make enzymatic cleaners, such as laundry soap and bathroom sprays.
Good face creams with anti-aging properties
Not that it can be marketed as such, but it will do a lot for repeat business!
Please vote for ONE favorite. If this goes well, I will certainly be doing another group buy, but for now, let’s keep it simple and choose just one thing.
I’ll contact the chemist and ask for an estimate, and divide the total by the number of responses to figure out everyone’s share.
