That's true Scented and I tried that but I didn't like the look of the wax around and on the glass tea light holder. I may not have held it down hard enough. I like the look of the candle better with the holer because I can pop it out and smooth out the inside edge. Just looks a more professional to me. JMO

Paulette I can't answer your question but I made one also that looked similiar to yours. I poured wax to keep the glass down and ended up with the top being a darker color than the rest. I didn't like it at all and remelted with a holer so all the candle would be the same color and have the same look.

Janet

They are all very, very nice. I really like the paint job.

Janet

What a great idea! Love them.

Janet

I like pictures that size. Your candles are very pretty.

Janet

Can the oil in the lamp oil be scented? I don't think you can.

Janet

It's beautiful Lin.

Janet

Now I feel guilty. I add FO to the wax in my burner sometimes but I always throw it away when I'm done with it.

Janet

It's kind of a dark pic but what I could see I liked.

Janet

I like the bright colors too. I would think it would draw more attention to your tent.

Janet

Very cool! I wish I could paint like that.

Janet

I wanna see Wendy.

You can use any box to ship regular priority mail. The post office will put stickers on the box.

Janet

Since the order was delivered in person is there anyway you can go visit her to explain everything?

Janet

Lynn it's so wonderful that you have such a positive attitude! I'm glad you found something you can enjoy.

I own a fleet of maybe a tire of a UPS truck.

For the ribbon try some embossing essentials adhesive. It's double sided sticky tape. I don't know where I found it but it works sticking cork on the bottom of my terra cotta wax pieces.

Janet

Oh yes your Mom will love them! Beautiful!

Janet

Mossie I knew you were bound and determined to make one. I'm glad it worked out for you. Your candle looks wonderful.

Janet

Aspen you should have told me earlier. I melted it down to see if I could get it to feather more.

Ok I admit I don't know much about soy candles but wouldn't the book of matches absorb some of the oil?

Janet

Ok I lied earlier. I don't know why but I wasn't able to get the glass out of the candle earlier but I could just now. I don't know if it will come out all the time.

I make the glass holer mold. All you do is drop the mold in the metal container, center and pour the wax. After the wax cools than pop out the holer. Piece of cake. I did use a concave metal mold instead of a flat bottom mold because it's all I had here but I think it would be better with a flat bottom mold. The glass won't be sitting so far down in the candle.

I won't scent the pillar. Just a waste of FO IMO but the tea lights will be scented.

Janet

Thanks for the compliments!

Nope not with a silicone mold.

The wax did melt but just a tiny bit around the top of the inside and that was because the mold was concave and the glass was down into the wax. I don't know if it would happen if I had a flat bottom mold. Although because it melted the glass isn't going anywhere.

Janet

I love the look of this. The saucer is wax also with a slot for the cord to lay down. I've tried all kinds of glue to secure them together and finally figured out the polymer clay holds it just fine. Someday I'm going to end up with a broken arm from patting myself on my back.

Janet

I made a glass holder holer mold by request and made one for myself to try out with this wax. It would be easier to pop out if the metal mold was flat instead of concave. I may end up taking out the glass and pouring some wax in the hole to bring the glass up higher.

I was surprised the wax lightened up because when I poured it it was pretty dark.

Janet

This is my first with palm wax. I'm surprised how easy it was to work with considering some of the negative things I've read about this wax. I'm very pleased with it. These could very well be my Christmas presents.
