txht2003 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Hi, a newbie here! Has anyone tried glass margarita glasses or something of the sort? Any other ideas for "ladies" shaped candles? Thanks in advance!:highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonShadow Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I do candles in cosmo glasses. Love how they look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Would you mind sharing where you get your cosmo glasses? I would like to see a pic of them. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaskitchen Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I think they would look very pretty, but I would be afraid to burn one for fear the glass would shatter from the heat. Would have to be a heat resistant glass to withstand the temperature of the hot wax.If I had a candle like that, I would only use it for decorative purposes only.

grandmaskitchen Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Those do look pretty sturdy and probably would make a beautiful candle! If you do make one, be sure to post it in the gallery. Can't wait to see what it looks like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonShadow Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I posted a "Red Hat" candle in a cosmo glass in the gallery. Scroll down for the better pic. http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44166 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodtveidt Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I make large triple-wick candles in heart-shaped bowls, generally very pale pink in color and scented with florals or chocolate. All sold out at the moment and never taken any pictures...guess I'll shoot off a few pics when I do the next batch next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
