Ok, so my first experience with candle molds is behind me. Well silicone molds at least. I made the rose candles this past weekend and it was a good learning experience. Everything went well until I took the candles out of the mold and saw all the dots (air bubbles). So, I realized I poured at the wrong temperature. After a little research and checking with those wiser in such candle endeavors than I am, I confirmed my suspicions. I let way too much time go by with adding dye and scent and should have checked the temperature before pouring and I did not do that. So, I learned a valuable lesson. I did a second attempt and poured at the proper temperature and voila! The rose candles came out so much better and I am pleased with the results. Now I just have to do the other color, assemble, package and then mail my gift. Here are some pics of this weekend’s trials.

Candle Tip of the Week

Floating Candles

Floating candles can provide both a formal and informal setting for either a dinner party or a back yard picnic. Floating candles in a clear bowl creates an extra special lighting effect. Using distilled water eliminates mineral buildup on the side of crystal or glass, preserving its unique presentation of floating candles.
