vjz Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Hello,I'm a novice when it comes to candles, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to put rhinestones on the outside of my candles, but also burn them (scented). I tried using gem-tack, and tacky glue, but that don't hold up well to handling. I also tried melted wax, which worked alot better, but its very time consuming and could get messy. I heard of rim setting, but i'm not particularly crazy of the rim look. Now in order to be able to burn my candles, i would need to use candles that burn in the middle and allow for placement of tealites inside of them. Don't want to sound ignorant, but what are they called?????? And in your opinions, who makes the best scented ones for this particular kind of candle. I know someone out there has advise for me....HELP:o Thanks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 you could do a 4" pillar with a tealight or votive cup insert...maybe try glueing the rhinestones to the heads of pins/nails or brads, then pushingthe pins/ brads into the candle???

Have you tried tacky wax?Now in order to be able to burn my candles, i would need to use candles that burn in the middle and allow for placement of tealites inside of them. Don't want to sound ignorant, but what are they called?????? You could be talking about hurricanes (large empty shell) or an everlasting candle(solid pillar type with an insert in top)....And in your opinions, who makes the best scented ones for this particular kind of candleUmm... can you clarify please? Scented what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatinDucky Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Wait.. you're looking to buy candles already made? As for hurricanes, I don't know of anyone that scents them. You don't want them so hot that they would melt the shell, therefore, there would not be much scent throw. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
