These are absolutely beautiful!
I’m new here and have a few questions:
1) If you embed items in the outer glass, is it okay to use pine needles, silk flowers, and other craft embellishments since this part is not being burned?
2) I saw the directions, but still don’t quit understand how to “suspend” the inside glass votive. Can someone explain?3) If the inner glass sits on the bottom, can a glue dot be used?
4) Would you refill with a gel tealight or soy tealight? Does it matter?
5) If not using the double glass method, would you recommend high density or is medium gel okay? I’ve seen bulk gel at Hobby Lobby or Michaels, but the density is low. Is it okay to use sand and shells? Would starfish burn?
6) Recommended locations for bulk items like zinc wicks, glass jars, etc.
I’m very new and have SO many questions! If anyone has time to answer, I would greatly appreciate it.

I’m a candle lover, and excited to say I’m also a new candle maker!
As a novice, I have many questions about gel candles.
Double Glass:
1) If you embed items in the outer glass, is it okay to use pine needles, silk flowers, and other craft embellishments since this part is not being burned?
2) How do you “suspend” the inside glass votive.
3) If the inner glass sits on the bottom, can a glue dot be used?
4) Would you refill with a gel tealight or soy tealight? Does it matter?
Full Gel Candle:
1) If not using the double glass method, would you recommend high density or is medium gel okay? I’ve seen bulk gel at Hobby Lobby or Michaels, but the density is low. Is this recommended? I’ve purchased high density from Amazon.
2) Is it okay to use sand and shells? Would starfish burn?
4) Ideas for safe embeds?
5) Recommended locations for bulk items like zinc wicks, glass jars, safe embeds, etc.
