Painted Glass Candles

I had made glass candles with clear gel wax and gifted it to Swaps on his birthday last year. Cub wanted me to make one for her too. So this time I made painted glass candles for her. She liked it, hope you guys like it too

I took some shot glasses…

Painted these… (wanted to do different design but my gutta had dried out so chose to paint this way   )

Birthday gift…

Yesterday was my best friend’s birthday and I was at loss as what to gift him. So me and Cub tried our hands on handmade, gel wax candles. Following is the photo-diary of our efforts. Hope Swaps like it…

1. The materials used… empty small glasses, assorted shells, some rangoli colours, some glitter, wicks and gel wax

2. Get the glasses ready with embelishments… (tip: don’t forget to put wick at this stage)

3. Melting wax over double broiler…

4. Pour the melted wax in the ready glasses… and voila, it’s ready!

(tip: you can change the colour of the wax by adding some shavings of wax crayons of your colour choice)

So, guys that was what presented to moi best friend.

Once again, Happy birthday Swaps
