craftimade Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) While working on some custom votives today I decided to make some jar candles using small chunky block wax mixed with another fragrance.I am very happy with the results and look forward to burning them in a few days. So I made BubbleGum chucks and placed them in a jar then poured Vanilla over the top (XL jar). Picture below.In this photo (below) I used Chocolate Fudge chucks with Vanilla poured around it. Just so the chocolate comes though the top. This is a regular size jar. Edited October 6, 2013 by craftimade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftimade Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 They are fun to make but I found the hardest part was keeping the wick straight. It keeps moving because the blocks where trying to find the gaps and the wick was moving around. I ended up using a straw to hold it straight up until I got all the blocks fit into place. Then poured the vanilla. Worked fine after that and smells so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puma52 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 OH!!! YOU are so good!!! That is what it takes...slide a straw over the wick, then place your chunks. It can get just a little dicey placing those chunks , but the straw definitely makes it easier and OH the end result is just wonderful! Great job!!
