Primitive or Grubby Candle Labels to Print

by

There are a variety of primitive labels perfect for candles at Pine Level Printables.  They’re in pdf format so that you can print them as many times as you like and the prices are very reasonable.

Labeling candles is important, but if you’re paying someone for custom labels, it can get expensive.  There are also warning labels that are already filled in with 48 per page for $1.50. The beauty is that you can keep using the same pdf file as many times as you want!

Other printables at Pine Level Labels include: business cards, hang tags, can wrappers (particularly pretty), soap labels and more. Most of the labels are $3.00 or less with many of them fully customizable.

Grubby Candle Recipes

More exciting candle making  finds that I discovered through Pine Level Printables are primitive, grubby and grungy candle recipes.  I hope you have as much fun checking it out as I did!
