NiksWaxNWicks Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 How would this be possible to have the 4 corners of wax like that?? What kind of a divider would you have to use? I have 2 scents that I am burning together at the moment that I would like to combine like this, or just half and half. Anyone have any ideas on how to do something like this in a 16oz apoth jar?

SliverOfWax Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 The wax is extruded, not poured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck_35550 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Yankee uses colored/fragranced pellets that are placed around the wick and then melted (I think). It would need to be wax that is best for layering and the whole thing would be more trouble than it would be worth IMHO.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Can you imagine what the red and green will look like once the melted wax mingles and mixes together. Ugh!I'd much rather have a layered candle with coordinated colors and scents that go well together when it burns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 You'd still get a mix of colors. Nothing wrong with brown ... pine cones, pine needles, branches etc. in this case ... all part of Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Speaking of candles with unique workmanship, I saw these recently at Swan's (click the link to see the entire selection) and I am so in love with them! I think they must be made like millifiori, but I don't think veggie waxes would work for this application.I am totally nutz about this tulip one...Anyone have any ideas about how they think these are made?

MommaD Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I am thinking a mold and then hand painted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustpuuppy Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I had a mold similar to that. Plastic two piece. It came apart in the middle. Polish out the seam with pantyhose/stocking. I don't think you could use soy. I kept melting mine with paraffin wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustpuuppy Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 To the original post: I've been thinking about this. It might be possible to duplicate that candle by laying it on it's side and pouring the wax in with some type of funnel. Turn and repeat as you would with layers. Then a final pour, with the jar upright to fill the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
