BrandNewToCandles Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I've been looking through the candle gallery and love the embedded pillars. Can the same type of thing be done with a jar? My (hopefully) future sister in law has a grandmother going through breast cancer treatment and I was thinking of a pink ribbon embed on the inside of the jar with a lighter pink soy wax background (scented Angel Wings). If I cut the ribbon from thin wax and heat gun it to the inside then pour the background wax at a low temperature, will it hold until the candle sets? Also, is it ok to use the pink ribbon image? I am not going to sell this candle, it's a personal gift. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I am not sure about answering your question, but I bought a candle like that a few months ago at Kroger. They had light pink ones and white with a pink embeded ribbon on the front side of it. They were in ginger jars and very pretty. I really didn't need it, but bought it because it was for a good cause and because it was made from beeswax. I think it is a good idea and think it is very feasable and a thoughtful gift as well.

AngelaVA Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I haven't made anything like that, but maybe you could use a votive/pillar wax and pour into a ribbon mold. Then adhere that to the inside of the jar. I would think that you would need to use a harder wax in order to get the ribbon to maintain it's shape. But it sounds like a great idea and I'd love to see pics if you get it to work out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 This is wonderful thought, and I'd love to help you. I was an RN for many years- I am all about women's health issues. I do a percentage of my gross sales to the Susan G. Komen Foundation as a donation on a speciality candle. I have the pink ribbon wax embeds- PM me your address and I would be more than happy to send you one.This embed sits on top of the candle- dang it, if I had the freakin camera charger I would show you a picture.Here is a pic of the embed itself. That is a quarter for scale purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon in KY Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I've have been trying to come up with something too. I have a Breast Cancer fundraiser coming up in a couple of months. Donating candles to raise money and for the tables. Only thing with mine is the lady running it, has a logo she has made up that is for men too. So I have to try to make something up. A pink ribbon with a blue bow tie where it crosses. I just ordered a pillar with a ribbon cut out, hope I can figgure it out. I don't do pillars... Thought about doing something in clay and glueing it on the outside. I don't do clay either. I'm making this harder than I should but I really want my stuff to look nice and sell well for them.
