mantczak Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I know regular votives are meant to be burned in a tight fitting container. How are you supposed to burn rustic votives? Meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 The same way, in a tight fitting votive cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaybee23 Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Is this a trick question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantczak Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 Sorry...I meant grubby votives. Like the ones on this page:http://www.soapandcandlemolds.com/moldlarge.asp?prim=30d5-31sixgrvotive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Diameter wise they should fit, but height wise they look to be a tad too tall for a regular votive cup. Hmmm....no clue as to what else would be close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Maybe one of those Roly Poly type cups would be good. It's big enough and you can admire the votive it while it melts. http://www.save-on-crafts.com/rolpolvothol.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaE Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Sounds like she needs a trip to A.C. Moore ....They have various sizes for votive cups, and I keep several different designs on hand for different votives. When I make cinnamon bun votives, they are almost 3 ounces and slightly wider than a regular votive, so they can't be burned in a straight sided votive cup. When I grubby the votives there's no way in H*LL they are fitting in the straight sided cups or even in the same cups as the cinnamon bun votives, so again, I buy a different size/design for them, but all of them are still votive cups. (I test to make sure the votive cup is as tight fitting as possible, so they don't have wax running down inside the cup).Whenever someone orders a votive from me that isn't a standard size, I always throw in one of votive cups that'll fit that votive. It's my way of hinting "put the darn thing in a cup...don't burn it freestanding!". You wouldn't believe the number of people who think if the votive is grubbied or if the votive is wider that you can treat it like a pillar *sigh*.
