JenT Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Couple questions:I had a request for a pillar candle that "bleeds" for halloween.Has anyone ever made one? I have seen tapers in stores...red candles dipped in white....so much that you can't really see the red inside...I'm just wondering how hard this is going to be...lol...and if it would even look good as a pillar instead of a taper??Scents...I thought about NG's Dragon Blood...though I have heard of it...never smelled it though...is it good?? Really isnt much there to go by as far as smell like whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braveheart Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I think it would look good. But your going to probable have to wick up so you MP overflows. As for the Dragons Blood, I personally like the scent. But it is sort of a love it or hate it FO it seems. If you like patchouli or nag champa your going to like the scent. But if there not your cup of tea Dragons Blood is the scent for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenT Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Thanks! I think I am going to get the dragons blood even if I dont use it on the candle....I just need to know now what it smells like...lolGoing to be doing some testing today...I'm just not sure if I am going to be able to get it to "bleed" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsvlbrat Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Walgrens had some bleeding eye candles. I have no idea how they work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenT Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Walgrens had some bleeding eye candles. I have no idea how they work!Gross!...LMAOIf they are like the tapers I saw...as they burn...the red wax inside runs down the side of the candle and it makes it look like its bleeding.I saw skulls at WalMart... if I wanted a "bleeding" candle...I would go for a halloween shape not a plain pillar but a lady who contact me is having a halloween party and wants 6 - 10 of these. So far I have made the red inter candle...now just waiting for it to dry before I start dipping it in white. I will have to post some pictures of these if it turns out!!

woolfswickery Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I have a friend wanting some for his Halloween party I am going to do them red and a another outside of black so it looks like they are bleeding like that pic.
