dhoneywell Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Hey all candle maker, Do anyone out there know how to make polka dot candles. I've seen a few once on the internet and I was just a little curious to know if anyone know how to get the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Do you have/can you find a picture? An easy thing to do would be make a standard pillar and paint the dots on there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamR Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I think there are a couple of ways to make these. I'm assuming you mean pillars. Years ago I made some that I called Caliope. I took a plain white pillar & dotted on beeswax with the end of a paint brush. After these dried, I overdipped the pillar in clear wax. I still have one, but over the years the dyes have kinda bled into the wax. The other way might be to make circles using a cookie cutter. Dip these in hot water til they are flexible, then put them on the inside of the pillar mold. It's not easy getting these to stick to the inside without falling off, but I've done it with other shapes.Pam R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahuff Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 You can make a light or white pillar, then overdip in a darker color. Use a heated cookie cutter to cut out a shape, rocking the cutter back and forth.You should end up with a two toned pillar with depth and texture. The cutouts will really glow!
