Gbhunter Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 How would one add glitter to a candle without turning it into a fire hazard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 It's not so much that it would be a fire hazard, but anything, like glitter, added to your wax would/could clog your wick. I know of some people that add a touch of glitter to the tops of their candles with good luck. I personally won't add anything like that to my candles. Unfortunately, you'll just have to test in your own candles to see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelphicScorpion Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 If it's not a gel candle you could put it on the sides with no fire hazard at all. I'm not sure the methods that are best, but I'm guessing just put a thin layer of clear glue/water on the sides and throw some glitter on there.I'm glad I read about it first though, because I had no idea about clogging the wick. I would have been making gel candles drowing in glitter that couldn't be used! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Check out www.aromahave.com, they carry glitter, I think they call it Shimmer Dust. They also carry Dazzle Dust. I use the Sugar Frosting Dazzle Dust on the top of my Sugar Cookie scent. A little goes a long way, no problem with wick clogging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I have used teeny amounts sprinkled lightly on top of some of my Angel candles. No problem with the wick. Like Candlebuddy said a little goes a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) This is something I'm considering, so thanks for the Aroma Haven tip, candlebuddy. Edited May 19, 2010 by Darbla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
