blt212 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I have a customer that wants me to make candles in wine glasses which I do not want to do because most are too thin and not heat safe. I did find a nice thick pair of wine glasses but am still hesitant. So my question is about the Redneck Wine Glasses. They are Ball Jars, so can I assume they are the same Ball Jars used for candlemaking? If anyone is using them are you buying them in bulk?

Trappeur Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I agree with you about not doing in thin wine glasses. I would feel the same way. The ones you pictured I believe are fine. Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I've never bought them in bulk, but I've made them. You use E6000 glue or epoxy and attach a dollar tree candle holder to the bottom of a canning jar. As far as wine glasses go, most I'd be afraid but if they are restaurant quality thick glass they would probably be fine. I'd probably underwick a tad in them as well.I have used cut off wine bottles for clients that wanted it have the "wine" or "vineyard" look, felt much safer with those and they loved them.

blt212 Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Thank you.....I did find the tutorial on making them on youtube and picked up the candlesticks and the E6000...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Those are a hoot! But I can't help picturing one of these 'wine' glass candles toppling over and spilling hot wax. Are they stable? I'm a klutz and know I would definitely topple one if left on a tabletop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 That is the only thing I had a problem thinking about....just like what Candybee said...toppling over. That would worry me. Though I have seen quite a few candles made in that jar. Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Looks like a redneck law suit. I would at least add instructions for safe use but you would still assume risk IMHO. People are too careless with fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
