Accents Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Oh, how pretty! I don't think I've seen ornie pictures before, thought they would be thinner for some reason. I really like them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demenshia Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hehe usually they would be thinner, but with the highs lately above 100F we thought we'd rather be on the safer side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Makin Momma Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Normally they would be half if not less of that size. Did you put a nail in to make the hole? I had a heck of a time adding the hole later! LMAOThose are gorgeous! I wish I could make them, but the smoke they give off irriates my asthma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demenshia Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Yes we used a nail while they were baking... Ours didn't smoke when we took them out... Though we did use different scents for each one so the smells mixing together kinda got to me a bit lol. Thanks for the compliments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartAddict Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Very pretty I make mine thinner and haven't had a problem with them melting (it was 122 in my van the other day!!!). It's also easy to use a leather punch to punch the holes after they're done Great job!D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessicamarie Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 thoes are so pretty!!!! you can use glitter in candles???? ive seen them on the outside of pillars but none inside of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoriaj Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 These are really nice. I would really like to make some of these- especially at christmas time. But i live in Britain and aroma bead are not avialable here and i dont think it would be cost effective to import some from the USA.Does anyone know if you could do some thing similar using just pillar wax. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doneen Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I know some people make decorative ornaments out of beeswax. I'm sure you can get that in your area, so maybe that might be worth a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennifer Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Did you add liquid color to the beads also or just colored mica powder? I've been making and selling a few of these and absolutely loved the effect of the mica in yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demenshia Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I used candle dye mixed into the FO to color them, then after I put them in the cookie cutters I lightly dabbed mica powder on them. HTH Thanks again everyone for the wonderful compliments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvcandlecrazy Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Those are really awesome, I think the mica adds alot to them, makes them shimmer in the sunshine!! Nice touch!Sue Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
