Thank you everyone.. It's interesting that I've been making candles for about 2 months now, I made three of each candles. I'm also trying to embed the pillar wax pieces into the top of my normal container candles, so when you open the top you get a nice surprise.

@Raven, I'm getting better at doing the embeds. it's not hard, you just have to judge how much heat to use and not overly melt the wax.. can get really messy..

I saw the valentines ones with instructions and was so excited. But I had a hell of a time getting my shapes to stick to the side of the glass without getting them so melty they smeared - I eventually gave up. :(

Still, since I was smart enough to scent it with something I LOVED, I got to enjoy me failures!

Sorry for getting back to this thread, me and my wife did our first craft show.. A small PTO show at our son's school. We did great sold 17 candles!!! not bad for our first real show..

@Carebear, I did the same thing when I started playing with embeded wax. I tried it first on peppermint candles that have a nice dark red stripes runing down vertically in the jar, I had to scrape the sides of the pieces I placed in, but it came out really good thou, it had little wisps of red in the white parts of the candle. I'm keeping the first candle I made like this. Sold the other four. I'll try and get some pictures up for you to take a look at. But my advice to you is to heat the glass in short burst, when you see the wax start to get wet spots, place the jar flat on it's side, so it can cool and the weight of the piece you are melting will keep it in place.

@Safetysue, you mean like these?? Sorry for the links, but the pictures are huge..
