jay_me0007 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I'm new to the candle making deal and would like to make some in martini glasses. Should I use a specific glass as to fit safety standards or would any martini glass be useable?? I appreciate any help given on this issue.

comfortscents Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I pour martini glasses a lot but whatever you do, don't buy the ones at dollar tree..I've done "Girls Night Out" themed martini candles and just recently did "Under the Mistletoe Christmas Party" martini glasses and I use older glassware that is a bit heavier..also, if you plan on shipping, I have to double box martini auctions..the stems are fragile..hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay_me0007 Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 Thanks for the help!! I was figuring that a heavier glass would be ok (of course I'd have to test a couple of times). I was worried about the glass cracking, but we'll see. I have a cousin who has a martini themed apartment so I figured candles of this type would be perfet.

tdunich Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I'm an amateur candle maker but I love making the martini glass candles. The ones that I purchased were from JoAnns for .99 each and then I dressed them up with flowers hot glued around the bottom of the glass. I scented them with 'Pleasures' scent, colored my wax a beautiful pink and used different colored pink flowers (using the stems and leaves for additional color) with a bit of gold highlights. They were a huge hit at my office. I'm going to make some more and sell these ones. Good luck with them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjackson35 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 What wick do you use in a martini glass? I poured one this weekend,and get it to burn right, have thought about double wicking it some how, but not sure if that will work or not.:undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I've tried them before and could never get a good melt pool with them either because they are so wide. With them narrowing so much at the bottom how would you double wick them and the wicks be straight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
