Jennifer has been busy making her realistic looking yummy bakery candles at Sweet Tooth Candles. This apple crumble pie looks so real that she had someone attempt to cut into it when they received it as a gift.
I love this Jack O’Lantern candle and I bet it smells delicious.

I’m trying to stretch summer out here as long as possible so sharing a fun seashell candle project. You will need some wax (duh!), wicks, metal wick holders, pieces of colored candles, double boiler with a lip and some shells.

Gothic Spiderweb Candlestick

September 17, 2007 | 1 Comment

I had a lot of fun looking around at Argoth’s gothic candles today.
This sexpithra candle holder features two crystal spiders and would not only make a unique display but it looks darned sturdy.

Check out this great candle made with real coffee beans from Craft Bits. All you do is add the coffee beans to the bottom of the mold before you pour. It turns out quite pretty and if you’re a coffee freak like me you’ll like it even better if you add some coffee scent.

Wine Bottle Candles

September 11, 2007 | 3 Comments

I found some realistic sculpted wine bottle candles on the candle directory. You can get either white or red but they’re all blackberry merlot scented, which is sort of strange. I’m sure it smells pleasant enough though.
If you want to go all out, try a six pack of wine bottles from Candle Bay. It doesn’t [...]
