CandleMkrInTN Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I saw a picture in the gallery that I can't find now for the life of me. It was a forever votive, looked like glass glow, light brown/golden in color and in an open vase looking container. Please help me. I would like to know how to make them. A tutorial maybe?

Scented Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Either buy the plug (available somewhere, but not sure where) or turn a votive glass over and apply a moderate amount of pressure until the wax starts to set up. There are probably other ways, but both have worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyinME Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Yes, you goddess!! Now, how do I make them?? Goddess:laugh2: There are a few different ways to make them depending how you want your finished product to look. The one in the photo, the wax is poured to the height that you want to set the votive cup on, let the wax harden then place the cup on the wax & finish pouring the wax around the cup.Then there is the plug thingy but I don't use that. If you want to try it that way, I have one that a really nice person from the board sent to me, I can pass it on to you if you want it.The method I use, someone else from the board suggested using playdoh inside the glass insert & it works perfectly. the play doh inside the glass keeps wax from getting inside the glass which will make it float up in the wax them flip over:shocked2: I just unmolded one done with the playdoh in it, Ill post a pic of it with the playdoh in the top!!There is a lot of ways to do these, they're fun to experiment with!!I'll try to see if I can remmeber where to buy the plugs.
