jeanie353 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I want sparkly candles!!Me too! Love them.I'm thinking the glitter stuff from AH/RE would be safe. I did use it on a few pillars last year and it does not burn. The candle will only burn up to the glitter and then they put themself out. I actually put too much on the top of one pillar and it wouldn't even keep burning. Just going up the sides caused it to burn really nice leaving a thin shell that was so pretty as it burned.

Billie Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Mod Podge and glitter the inside of the glass? The wax looks plain, I think it is on the glass.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I am whatever is the polar opposite of liking glitter.I agree with Billie!Look at the red container on the left. See the brush marks? I say they used some sort of flame safe adhesive and then coated with glitter, let dry and poured or mixed the glitter into same material and brushed it on.

Scented Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Ummm is it sprayed onto the jar? It looks like it to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) I have looked into this before. I believe they coat the glass with a substance (possibly Modge Podge) and then they sprinkle the glitter inside and move it around well to coat all areas and then shake out the glitter that did not stick. I asked a gal at Michaels if Modge Podge was not flammable but we could not tell on the bottle. She did not know. I have seen some of those after a complete burn...wax is gone...and the sides are not as attractive as the candle burns down....looked as if the sparkles can melt off and slide down. It is very pretty when new and for part of life of the candle. I have used glitter on the tops of my candles many times, but prefer it only on uncolored wax and diamond glitter...crystal..no color. I do like the look of the colored glitter on these candles on the sides when new. Edited November 30, 2012 by Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 That looks like a Candles by Victoria tureen candle. I know she does these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisa2003 Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 That looks like a Candles by Victoria tureen candle. I know she does these.I think it is. It looks like the pic is from a blog. They would never tell you their technique or what they use thats non-flammable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindanelson Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 These look like it's on the inside of the glass to me too.I mix glitter or food coloring with mod podge and paint on the outside of the glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindanelson Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Yes it does look a little like stained glass. The one I post above, I used a small paint brush. Now I use cosmetic wedges. I look for the least messiest way of getting something done.The glitter mixed with the modge podge...I put it on in a couple thick layers or light layers. Depends on what kind of mood I'm in that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what kind of mood I'm in that day.I like that,..I am going to soon be putting my candles in a Gift Shop inside of a Glass Art Gallery and I think that would be so cool to have the jars resmble stained glass. You gave me something to play with,...thanks for the idea!!! ETS: If I get famous over the candles,..I will be sure to give credit where credit is due. LOL!!!

Billie Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) Sorry I didn't get back sooner. I would hate to steer someone wrong, but I have used it to seal candy tin seams and clay pots for candles and it was fine. I am not selling though so you probably should research it. I made the cutest little clay pots once and sealed the bottom with a penny and sealed the porous clay with modge podge and painted the outside and saucer with acrylics. I was new and read it somewhere so I tried it and it was really cute. I only made few though. Sorry I couldn't be more help.Trying to research this and think it might be safer on the out side of the jar....:embarasse Edited December 3, 2012 by Billie research Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
