heirloomoriginals Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 My pastor asked me today for a special request pillar candle (I do not make pillars, but have wanted to try, just no time or money right at this point, LOL). It is for a couple (whom I know the bride quite well) and it is a second marriage for both of them. He asked me about possibly making a 7 wick candle symbolizing the joining of the two families instead of having a singe unity candle.I looked at some of the longer log molds, but they only had around 4 wicks in them. Would there be a way to put 7 tealights in? Or does anyone have any other ideas?TIA!Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellen Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 How about a hurricane that is a bowl shape with 7 floating candles in it?The bowl could have a nice verse on it???Cheers,Hells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 The only advice I can offer is never to take special orders. Especially for something you've never made before.It's ok to just say, "no, I don't make that kind of candle." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirloomoriginals Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 I will have to ask him if he wants a pillar or just something with 7 wicks. I found this:http://www.earlyamericancandlesupplies.com/store_supplies_info.cfm?id=301&cat=2⊂=10That might work. Then I wouldn't have to buy a special wax and mold that I would probably only use once. I will find out more specifically what he wants.Thanks!

grama Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 You could do 1 large pillar (all will be 1 family) and then have 7 smaller pillars or votives arranged around it. I presume that is how many will be in the combined family? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
