slappy17 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 How to make a candle that has that sugary look on the outside of it. I am interested for personal use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Overdip it in melted steric or sterine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trae Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I use Diamond Dust glitter. Just paint mod podge on the candle and sprinkle with the glitter. Here's a pic of some I did a few years ago: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I use Diamond Dust glitter. Just paint mod podge on the candle and sprinkle with the glitter.:That glitter looks bigger than the glitter I use. Where do they sell it. I have just about all the glitter RE sells. But it is fine almost like powder. It would not give a sugar look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luci Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I recently got some of the dazzle dust from RE but haven't used it. I also got a similar substance from the Chemistry Store a few days ago. Not sure what I'm gonna try with it or if it would work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trae Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I buy the diamond dust from Michael's or AC Moore. It burns fine. The wax has a bit of a lumpy texture after it cools after burning, but other from that, no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trae Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 If I remember correctly, it's in the area with the mod podge and paper mache. Been a while since I've been in Michael's. I think WalMart has it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klo Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Pourette has the diamond dust and it is much finer that the Michaels one. I leave the wicks long and hold the candle by the wick and spray with adhesive, wait a minute and then roll in the "glitter". I stopped applying it to the top of the candles and just did the sides when I found it can change the way the candle burns. It is actually a crushed glass product and at shows people just had to touch them even if I had a sign that said do not touch!!! my fear was that is could get into someone's eyes or if they had it in the kitchen, food, or a small child getting a hold of it, so I quit doing them to sell, just for myself for the holidays.
