Lightning Bug Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Very nice job for a first try...I've never tried them, but if I did, I could only hope they would look as good as yours! Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverSoyed Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 They are cute...Just curious.... doesn't the heat from the tea lite / votive heat up the candle glass inside the pillar? If so, wouldn't it over time move around.Or do you strictly use flameless inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glass is bigger than the tealight too. Maybe that makes a difference.Linette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crying Moon Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Those look great.You shouldn't have a problem using straight 1260 with the heat.Using the plastic tealight cups will help too because they don't tend to get as hot as the metal ones.

funnygirl Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Love em! These are something I have toyed around with in my mind forever, but have never actually got around to making. I really like the brown toned one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mineralesque Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Love em! These are something I have toyed around with in my mind forever, but have never actually got around to making. I really like the brown toned one It took me a while to finally do them. I am glad I did. I am just having a problem when I do layers, the last layer comes out smooth and shiny but the first layers are more rustic. I don't know what to do about that yet. They do look different though. Some people don't mind that. These didn't come out as nice as I would have liked.[ATTACH]17179[/ATTACH]Linette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
