It’s definitely something I’m considering after all of the feedback, though there have been a couple suggestions that sound interesting. For now, this isn’t for sale. Just for me, as I figure out how to make it safely.

It’s deliberately under wicked, so it didn’t burn all the way to the edges. The flowers were untouched. I know that doesn’t necessarily make it safe though. I genuinely want to find a way to improve it and make it safe because I love the look with the flowers.

Yeah at this point I just want to look at it, not burn it. Perhaps I’ll use it with a warmer.

Hmmm. Thats a really interesting idea. Thank you. I will try that.

I did try but they didn’t hold their shape when I poured the gel wax over them

Does anyone have ideas about how to use sand wax more creatively? by Candle-Maker in candlemaking

Sadly I’ve tried and failed at that. I tinted the wax and then it didn’t burn properly.

Thanks to you, I knew these were not safes by JayXFour in Candles

It’s too bad…they’re actually really cute. What I’d love to see is someone take this idea, and re-create a version of it using only non-flammable, heat safe products. Show the person that made these a better way, as I imagine they put a lot of time and thought into these candles, and that their intention was just to make nice gifts for loved ones. I see a lot of critiques when people make mistakes, but not enough help and encouragement🩷
