tonyjazz Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I saw this on the Internet and tried to incorporate my azaleas I have into this candle. Used a wine glass, water and olive oil ( any cooking oil works ) and a plastic wick holder made out of a transparent CD cover. Unwaxed, zinc core wick embedded into plastic. The holder becomes almost invisible and to my surprise does not burn. Have tested this for up to 30 hours on a very small amount of oil. At night the glow is incredible.

Georgia Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Now, I have bought the floating wick assemblies but never attempted to make them myself! Very creative. I like the flower in the glass...nice touch! You can use food coloring in the water, too, but it does accent the oil line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricofAZ Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Very nice indeed. I'll have to try this. I wonder if the oil would hold a fragrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyjazz Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Thanks all for looking and comments! I did try this with FO's but, no good. Smoked, sputtered, maybe just a drop would work. TJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
