kelz Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 where can I purchase rainbow sprinkles for my birthday cake scented container candles? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 If your looking for the candy sprinkles you don't want to use them on a candle. It would probably cause wick burning problems, plus I think they would stink or catch fire if they started to burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelz Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Are there any made for candles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I've used sparkle dust on my candles before but have never seen any sprinkles made for candles. I guess you could make your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelz Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 The sparkle dust can you use that in the candle wax? Or just on top? I wanted to try some out for the pink sugar FO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I got some sparkle dust at Micheal's Craft store some years back to experiment with. I sprinkled some on my Angel candles and they were so pretty with it. It didn't effect the burn at all. I know some suppliers carry the sparkle dust but don't remember who does. Anyway I tried both; sprinkling on top, and mixing into the wax. Mixed in the wax you couldn't see it at all. Sprinkled on top gave it a very sparkly look. So I opted for top sprinkling. I got the white dust that shimmers different colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfintoni Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 If you look at th ingredients on the colored sprinkles they are made of food grade wax. They should just melt down into the wax.Karen in MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 AH/RE for the sparkle dust stuff, but I have seen others use the sprinkle stuff for cookies on their candles. It just melted on the one I had, but I'm not an advocate for it. There are other things you can do to pretty something up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 It's easy to run with it and be flooded with ideas. A suggestion -- write the ideas down. As quickly as they came, they may leave too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Have you tried a fruit zester? You can make scented and colored blobs of your wax that will end up as small sprinkles in a short amount of time . I use the zester tool on soap to make tiny confetti.

Oceangazer1 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 A few little rainbow sprinkles won't hurt anything just as an accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck_35550 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I really am reluctant to place anything in or around a candle that might be flammable. My candles come with a very short cut on the wick and rarely contain embeds on the surface. Its the customer I don't trust KWIM? They don't understand candle mechanics or safety, so you never know what cockamamie idea someone will use on your products, lol. I use glitter on some of my candles and it doesn't cause wick problems, in fact it looks kinda neat pooled in the wax and glittering in the flame light. Aroma Haven/RE offers a glitter you paint on the outside of the jar too (I think). Its just that wax will not suspend anything, stuff just falls to the bottom and its another expense IMHO. Votives are another route to go if you want to have different looks on containers. The market isn't too strong but its a good way to get acquainted with the business. I got a kit from Canjun candles for a small amount of cash and it mushroomed from there. HTH Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
