HorseScentS Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) I'm so excited about these adorable colored tumblers I picked up at Wallyworld tonight for less than $6.00. With a discounted Walmart gift card from GiftCardGranny.com they would have been even cheaper. Gonna test these puppies, anyone want to join me? :-) I'm hoping the narrowing slant at the top will help propel the HT. I'll use clear plastic circles with a wick hole sitting on the wax as "lids" I guess, unless there's a better idea. http://mobile.walmart.com/ip/Libbey-Glass-4-Piece-Cabos-Colors-Dof-Set/36188300 Edited December 30, 2014 by HorsescentS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 where do you get the plastic circles? do you cut them yourself? What thickness of plastic and what kind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Someone has the dust covers (plastic circles) in their regular inventory but I can't remember who and I don't have time right now to search. I think it was either BCN or BCS, but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorseScentS Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Good question, ya'll; I have no idea, but I need to buy or make some. I think we can print on them so they become the label. I'm starting with an HTP 105 in 4627 w/ 6% Cajun's Creme Brulee...but all waxes are welcome on this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorseScentS Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) I used my Creme Brulee wax in another test so these pics are the end of the first three-hour burn session with Cajun's Christmas Memories 6%. Since I poured to 3/4" below the rim for a nice deep heat sink, I'm happy with the HTP 105's performance in this jar. It looks freakin' awesome for a tester made from melted down extras. And the tapered top does fling the HT across the room. :-) Edited December 31, 2014 by HorsescentS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puma52 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) How CUTE are those??!! Thanks for the heads up Horsescents! Hmmm.....after the crazy crowds here in Sevierville and Gatlinburg leave tomorrow, perhaps I shall dare to stick my toes into the local Walmart.

HorseScentS Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 puma, I love the way they add a dash of color to a white candle, and a bit of zing if you pour a color that contrasts with the glass base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puma52 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 puma, I love the way they add a dash of color to a white candle, and a bit of zing if you pour a color that contrasts with the glass base. Exactly what I am thinking! Lime/orange, purple/lime, yellow/purple, lime/blue and on and on. Make some kind of gift set with them. Candle/lotion/soap, candle/lotion/lip balm, Spa gift sets..... They will be adorable for Spring and Summer! Oh the ideas! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorseScentS Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) How pretty this candle line is! These are the same tumblers except the glass walls are colored too. http://m.zgallerie.com/p-14646-glow-candle.aspx I don't know if they bought the glasses colored like that or not The Libbey glass catalogue has a section on glass decorating techniques, and the colored glasses have been sprayed with glass paint. Michael's has the Martha Stewart glass paints and her spray kit. Edited January 1, 2015 by HorsescentS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
