Jami Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I have seen a couple different techniques to make marble pillars and votives. Since I have never made pillars, I thought I would practice with a votive just "to see" how it looks.I flubbed up the top of a votive so I thought it was a good time to test it. Here is how it came out. I learned what NOT to do at least lol The scent is Cinnamon Crunch Cake and I was going for the "crumb" look on the candle.

Jami Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 Did you dip and swirl on that one?I think that is what it was SUPPOSED to be but my wax to swirl with wasn't completely melted and it ended up speckled lolThe trick is making sure the chunks are small enough to melt before dipping. I learned that one the hard way hahahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2rottndogs Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I love the look of that votive. For some thing that came out *wrong*... could you describe what you did to make it look that way. I can't even begin to fathom what you must have done. Kimberly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
