Jojo T. Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Hi guys, Here's what I've been up to. The first picture is of some magenta rustics fragranced coconut milk and some hunter green rustics fragranced clean cotton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo T. Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 This one is called Purple Haze, is a little mottled and fragranced Oriental - which is a mixture of my scraps of wax that turned out ok. Thanks for looking, cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jojo T. Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 Jo, they are all wonderful, and your purple haze ones are very unusual! Can I ask you how did you make them?Very creative, as only you can be!CheersHi Sabrina, Thank you for your comments. The purple haze candles are made in a Mount Franklin spring water bottle which has a great shape. They even have a flower or star shape in the bottom, which becomes the top of course. To take it out of the bottle, I just rip it carefully. I'm in to reusing anything I can before I put it into the recycling bin. And of course, because they are used only once, I don't have to clean the moulds after using them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it up and send me some inspiration Thanks - this shape of bottle mould burns really well and I've been using it for years - I've used an 18 ply flat braid wick which does the trick perfectly. It's 2 1/2 inches + in diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flutterbye Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Those Purple Haze ones are awesome! I didnt know you could use a water bottle for a mold, That is so cool! I thought maybe you had carved them after unmolding...Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspencreek Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 WOW!!! What a creative idea. I really like them. I would like to know how they burn-----Never mind I just read your post. I really like how they look. Nice work!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought maybe you had carved them after unmolding...Very nice!The only thing to be careful of is not to pour them too hot or the plastic melts. I've found no hotter than about 155 degrees Fahrenheit is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
