slyfoxy46628 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Awesome!! I love the candles made with palm. Is it hard to work with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin'Hot Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Those are gorgeous! I'm still trying - like you said, trying to get the cup to stay in place takes such patience, but I intend to make these! Thanks for sharing your pics.

Sharon in KY Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Just how did you get the glass to stay centered. Those are some gorgeous candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleanglow Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Thanks again for the nice comments This wax in general is more difficult to work with as far as wicking goes. But making them this way takes that problem away. I used skewers and large clips to hold them in place and create some pressure. Oh yeah, and LOTS of patience!

sharyl55 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 WTG! :highfive: Makes me sorry I gave up on the palm wax. Perfect color and centering of the oyster cup. Looks like another project to add to my Jan. todo list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dallas_Texas_Dean Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Has anyone tried this with a Votive glass? Not sure how I missed these but I hate the way wicked Palm candles burn so this might be the perfect solution. They are so beautiful seems like a winner! You have inspired me to give it a try.Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnygirl Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 So pretty! Is there a photo tutorial anywhere, Im confused on how to center the glass with skewers etc.... They look so nice. I make alot of palms and hate to see them disapear, LOL! So this would be great!BTW, I have found the LX wicks to work great in palms. Centered melt pool, good flame height, excellent throw, no mushrooms and with the right size no breeching! I really think LX wicks were made for palm wax.

Kay Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 how do you keep them centered? I have that problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacien Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I think that is a clever idea. Sometimes it is such a shame to burn pillars that are so pretty but this way you can preserve them longer. What a load it takes off of wicking too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamsoycandles Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I did try them with votives too.

ayshapooh Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Those look wonderful! I have a box of sample palm wax sitting on a shelf in my basement calling my name but I just havent gotten around to playing with it yet...I hope mine come out as nice when I finally decide to try itSandy~WI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I've been making these too & we use glass tea light cups from www.cudge.netThanks to Cleanglow I found out the glass tea lights work better. What is the glass insert you've used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
