Jaime Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Can anyone tell me where to get colored tins for candles? I've seen some at craft shows that are black and a brownish/bronze color. I've googled it but all I can find are silver or gold. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth-VT Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 You create them yourself by baking them in the oven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleanglow Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Ok, I have to ask... do you paint them then bake them or do you just bake them in the oven at a certain temp and they turn different colors? Sorry, I'm clueless here. But it sounds interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth-VT Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Bake them as hot as your oven will go. Some people use the self cleaning feature. If you don't have that.....450° or 500° works just fine. Take the lids of and lay the tins/lids on the racks and cook. Will take probably around 30 minutes +/-. Be warned, it may smoke a little and stink some....it all depends on residue from the manufacturing process. The color's will vary some. Within a batch, some will be distinctly dark gold, some will be very bronze, you can't control that so learn to live with it Good luck.

kandlekrazy Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Thanks for this info Beth, it might be a fun thing to try. I'm assuming that if they stink during the process, the smell goes away after they cool and sit out for a while????I love your comment about variations..:laugh2::laugh2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth-VT Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 LOL.....yes, the smell goes away. It's just stuff burning off in the oven and wil air out. The tins themselves will have no odor. Open a window if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
