These gel candles that resemble a glass of sparking champagne look so cute and beautiful! I really liked reading your post and liked the way you given step by step instruction on to make the gel candles. They look so adroable! I better make some for myself. I think you should make a video tutorial and upload it on YouTube.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for reading. I do hope to get my Youtube channel up and running very soon. I will make a post and send out an email about that when it happens. I wish you luck with making your candles!
A great tutorial and also a great idea to make a few for Christmas. I love crafting and has tried many things so far, but I’ve never tried making a gel candle. After this step by step tutorial of yours, I’m already imagining these flutes spread over the house at Christmas time. I think they would look very nice also as a part of a centerpiece for the New Year’s Eve table.
I think I could start practising with some broader containers, as I’d like to place in those some of the wonderful leaves we have around the house. Do I need to do anything more than cleaning drying the leaves well before placing them into the gel wax?
Honestly you could pre-wax the leaves in beeswax to make them sturdier and position much more easily. Simply use a double broiler to heat up some beeswax and dip the leaves in by the stem. I would use tongs or something similar and then hang them up to dry by a clothespin. I have never added leaves, but this is what I would recommend. 🙂
I really enjoyed this post as I love candles. I’ve never heard of gel candles before and love the way you’ve outlined everything in an easy to understand step by step. They would certainly make perfect gifts for family and friends, and everything required to make them is easy to get online:)
Absolutely! These are so fun and easy and make wonderful gifts for candle lovers and drink enthusiasts. You can make virtually any kind of carbonated drink because gel candles resemble them so well. Get the proper glass container and voilla! Good luck!
What a great post! I actually have a friend that just started making candles up here in Alaska! I’m going to share this with her so if she wants to vary them up, she can!
Hi Shyla ,Thank you for the nice post .I am definitely going to give it a try and see how it goes .I will let you know if something goes wrong.It looks very easy to do after i read you post . Until now ,i thought it was very hard to do .Thank you for clarifying everything .
Candles are so much easier than you would think. I too thought it would be super hard to do, but these are very simple and fun. Let me know how it goes!
Those candles look so neat! I love checking out different DIY projects and candles is something I have wanted to give a try but have yet to dive in yet. This one looks easy for a beginner and the end result is beautiful. I will have to give this a try once I get my hands on the materials needed.
You would really love doing this particular candle. It is quite easy for beginners and would be a great way to step into candle making. I hope you get a chance to try this soon!
I just wanted to say how much I really enjoyed your instructions here on making these candles, it was not to wordy and very clear and easy to understand, I appreciate that “down to earth” talk. Also these look beautiful! You did an amazing job. Thank you!
