sassyQ Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Does anyone know of a place that sells small ceramic or poly resin candle containers/pots, similar to the bamboo pots that are so popular right now?? I have hunted and hunted and can find nothing. Or something terra cotta perhaps, or anything really that is semi-unusual??? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Terra cotta you could probably find at a gardening store.However, you'd need to have some specifically for candles that were coated or shaped like the pots, but not plain terra cotta. Read the warning on these Dollar Store ones:http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml96/96158.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 If you use terra cotta, you have to paint the inside with this craft stuff that seals the pottery (can't think of the name of that stuff). I have to agree with Sara about being careful with containers that aren't intended for candle use. I bought a ceramic shell from Dollar Tree that was supposed to be used for a planter. The interior was coated and I covered the drainage hole with heat resistant sealer. They sold real well for people with lake houses and they were perfectly safe but those are the only ones I have found to be safe enough for candles.
