Basics
The basis for all of the gel candles includes the following items:
- Candle gel
- Wicks – preferably coated as they are easier to work with
- Scissors for trimming the wick
- Accessories as listed in the recipes
Bride and Groom Candles
Give the bride and groom a set of matching candles made using champagne flutes. Add a light scent and color that corresponds to the wedding color to make them even more special. If you prefer to have the candle colored more like champagne, use a pale yellow color. Items Needed:
- Champagne flutes – plain or inscribed with “Bride” and “Groom”
- If desired, small bride and groom figurine, small ceramic wedding bells, or other wedding celebration accessories you would like to add. Make sure any items you choose are ceramic.
- Fragrant oil for scenting the candle, if desired.
- Lace or ribbon for decoration
Instructions
- Secure the wick to the bottom of the champagne flute using hot glue.
- If using coloring or scented oil place in gel as it melts.
- Fill the flute partially with gel.
- Place the bride figurine in one flute, the groom in the other flute – if using inscribed flutes, make sure the bride is in the bride flute and the groom is in the groom flute.
- Continue filling with gel until approximately ¼ inch from rim.
- When gel sets, trim wick to approximately ¼”.
- Tie a pretty ribbon or lace bow around the base of the flute.
Variations
- Instead of using a bride and groom, add plastic wedding bells as you fill the flute. Alternate layers of wedding bells and gel until you reach the top; or,
- Use artificial flower petals that represent the bouquet carried by the bride.
These flutes make great keepsakes to remind your favorite couple of their special day.
Simplicity
This gel candle recipe is just the beginning of the ideas you can come up with. From fish aquarium candles to fruit jars, your only limit is your imagination. Once you know how to make a basic gel candle the fun has just begun.
