If you enjoy doing your own home candle making and have a few different jars that are available, it might be time to try some of the different types of containers that make candle making easier. Mason jars have been used for a long time to hold candle wax, and now they can be used for your candle making. Some of the options available for use in your jar making will allow you to create different looks that will highlight the different types of candles you are making. Here is a look at what is available:
Jars with a tall spout are a nice option. They sit high on the shelf and there are many different designs available for them. You can even purchase one that has an ornamental handle. The spout is tall enough that you can fill a jar all the way to the top with wax and still have room left over. Because the jar is tall, you won’t have to worry about the melted wax spilling out onto your counter top.
If you are going to be using mason jars to store your candles, you might want to consider glass jars. Glass jars are great because they will keep the wick from melting in the sun as it normally would. This can reduce the chance of scents in your candles floating around, and you also have the ability to see the wax as you burn it.
If you want to use mason jars to make votive candle holders, you have the choice between glass and plastic. Glass makes an attractive jar, but it can be expensive. Plastic votive holders can be made from any type of material, but they don’t have the same appeal as glass does. You can even find clear plastic votive holders that will help show off your candle to its best advantage.
Candle making is fun and simple when you use mason jars. You can be creative and make many different effects by putting in your mason jars your favorite scents. Fill them with water and let the jars sit in there overnight. The next morning you can easily remove the candle and it will look completely different.
If you are worried about leaving the candle in the original container, it should be noted that glass jars are not good for re-using. You need to soak the candle and remove all the wax before reusing the jars. Reusing the jars will allow you to create different shapes and designs. You can even try and create a different scent by putting in different waxes and scents. If you are someone who loves the fragrance you can purchase special candle making jars with a wide variety of different fragrances. You might even be able to find candles that are created from your own scent.
If you love to bake, you can make candles in mason jars using your special candle wax. This is a wonderful way to save money on household items. You can purchase a jar of candle wax that has a specific recipe that matches the type of jar you are using. You can do some research online to find out what type of recipes are popular and which type of wax will work best. When you purchase your wax and ingredients from a place that you know and trust you will be able to buy your jar of candle wax very efficiently. If you are buying your candle making supplies online you will be able to get great deals on the items you purchase.
Whether you love to bake, create candles in mason jars, or you simply like to provide different types of fragrances you will be able to find great discounts when you shop online. When you are buying mason jars for your candles, you will want to purchase jars that have an open top to allow you to add the wax easily. You will also want to purchase jars that are dishwasher safe. Choosing the right car for your candles will allow you to create beautiful masterpieces that will have your friends and family amazed.
