  1. I have looked at a few places/ sites and haven't found any like these, found straight glass cylinders but none with the neck nor with a cylinder on top. ones i found for flowers & candles was way out my price range LOL! hope you have luck at michael's , if i could cut glass i would make me one, it looks just like the bottom part of a clear bottle sitting on the top part, i would even add ribbon, i think they would look better with white ribbon tied in middle part, for a wedding.

  2. So sorry to hear about your heart attack, take care of yourself , by doing what ever is best for you. then come back at what you love to do stronger than ever. wishing you a speedy recovery and the best of luck on what ever you do.

  3. Trust me you do not want the ones from crazy mountain....i got two pretty ones at the flea market, guy had a bunch of them, but i wanted 2 for baskets.and since these was 2 special baskets i was willing to pay more plus save on shipping, got my butt burnt. i paid $15 for each, was so excited i didn't see the 7watts on bottom, they do not get hot enough. maybe be ok for a small room but not a large livingroom. i later went on line and emailed crazy mountain to ask what the watts of their electric tart warmers was, thought maybe they was wrong. but they later emailed me back and said the 7 watts was correct. i found me 2 of the combine tart/candle warmers later on ebay. new in box. I'm going keep watch on your post because i would like some pretty electric tart warmers without having to buy a bunch, plus i don't have a tax # i just like to be able to buy 1 or 2 to keep for those people that when i do a basket for them can buy a nicer tart melter off me rather than just the ones at walmart.

  4. Look, Look on bottom for watts! i found a man selling these beautiful large tart melters at flea market sat. i was so excited and happy, not only was they large and pretty but had a large enough dish on top to be able to put 2 standard size tarts. and no shipping charges. the 7 i saw on bottom and thought was 17 watts, was only 7 watts. i plugged one up when i got home to test, a few mins later the tart had melted but wasn't strong like i knew it should be, temp was only 140. emptyed it out and checked bottom again, thats when i saw in all my happiness at finding these i had made a mistake, it had a 7 on it. now i have 2 pretty warmers that don't get hot enough. $30 threw away.:cry2:

  5. I also use the ky parsoy for tarts /votives , i don't like having to worry about mixing . they are smooth, color easyand pop out of molds easy . i put them in fridge for a few mins after they have cooled, to cool a littlec more and i just have to turn them over and tap lightly or not at all to get them out of molds, best is they have a good throw. others kinds might be good also, i just use this because kycandle is closer to me.

  6. Fern thats why i bought it, to me its looks even thicker than the glass on the tea light burner i have in bedroom, and as thick as the glass is on the dish i use now, if it didn't have just a tad of ridge on top to hold lid it would be just like the ramekin dish that walmart used to have. its not thin porcelain. anyway i'm testing one on my burner now in livingroom which is a coffee mug warmer that is hotter than the candle warmer. its 22 watts. so far its not no hotter than the dish i use, if anything , don't feel as hot, i picked it up carefully awhile ago without burning fingers . if it keeps doing well i'll pick up a couple more at dollar store tomorrow. i've had others say they like a prettier dish on warmer and dollar store had different colors of these. and they fit perfect on the walmart warmers. not to small where there is a lot of burner not covered nor is it completly covered with dish. Thanks all

  7. Hope it has a little green vine on bottom and like a rope, its suppose to look like a hat box, i just didn't get picture of side. thank you for replying, think i put it on my burner and let it set for a couple of days and see what happens, because i don't want it to break and spill wax, even if i think its safe, and i know the dish i use now or the ramekins that some use also could do same thing, i will just feel better about it, if i let it go for a few days on my own warmer , then if it does ok, buy a new one for her.

  8. I'm doing a basket for a lady and she's giving it to her mom but she wants a different dish i put on the warmer to melt tarts in, rather than the clear pryex dish i usually use. its a cute dish i found at dollar store about the size of a ramekin, its 2 "high and 3 1/2 inches wide. has a pretty lid with it, it is glazed inside and out. would be pretty on a warmer if i knew it was safe,what does anyone think :rolleyes2

  9. Yes snow i put 6 of the standard size tarts that i make from the molds. i put a sample tart in a small 2x2 zip lock bag, then when i get a order i just take out of jar that i keep them in or the plastic box. and bag them, i sell them $2.50 a bag, round here i wouldn't get more . and i'm still making a few dollars off of them, its just a hobby thing right now for me, i sell mostly by word of mouth and repeat orders. reason i put 6 to a bag is because it fills up bag good and most people likes 2 of the small tarts in a burner, unless its a real small room. had guest over the weekend, i put 1 creme brulee in a tealight burner in their bedroom and after about 2 hours had to blow the tea light out it was smelling so strong, the room is only 13x14, but when i melt them in my livingroom , which is 21x22 i use 2 tarts on burner.

  10. Hey , maybe i should patent this thing LOL! lighteningbug i used the standard size tart molds and i put 6 tarts to a bag, and no matter how easy or steady i would drop the tart in bag, it would touch side and smear a little. but with this tube its a breeze to fill bag and no smear on my 4x6 ziplock bags. for the first time i didn't have to clean a bag and refill. i use kyparsoy for tarts/ votive so it's a little soft and does smear easy. Georgia , so many people around here are just learning about tarts, if i did make candle to sell . i don't think i could sell them like tarts.

  11. After saying a few not so nice words, while packing my tarts today. i finally came up with the perfect idea to put the tarts in bags without them smearing my bags, i like them clean and neat looking when i fill orders. after about 6 bags and trying to bag them without a smear on my bag, i got this idea of making a tube to drop tarts down into bag with. so i took a suave shampoo bottle, cut top and bottom off to the fit the bag just above the top, fill bag then pull out the tube, once i put my 6 tarts in bag, it closed clean & neat.:yay: and i always turn over the top tart , so top bag top will close easy. i use the zip lock ones. it was easy to fill the other 32 bags.:wink2:

  12. The picture of him with his horse is embeded, thanks Donita, i think i have some of that already. and it will be where nobody like kids can touch it, going tell him to sit it on mantle, i think they look better burning when they are high enough on something , that the votive inside can't be seen LOL! thanks mystical, i look on BCN for the spray for candle for my next ones,
