A New Use for Old Canning Jars

Tiffany — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 20:08:10 +0000

We have all seen those beautiful canning jar candles with the pretty ribbon and potpourri. It is very easy to make your own canning jar candles with just a few inexpensive items that you can get from your local craft store or online. You will need wide mouth canning jars, ribbon, potpourri, votive candles with holders, and a hot glue gun. Make your own canning jar candles to add charm to the dinner table as a center piece or gift them to family and friends for gifts. To start, fill the jar with potpourri. If you desire, add some extras such as dried apples or cinnamon sticks. Fill the jar full enough that when you set the candle holder on top it is even with the top of the jar. Place the candle in the holder once you have got the fit right. Next, glue the ribbon around the top mouth area of the canning jar. You can further personalize your canning jar candles by gluing on decorations. Canning jar candles are a great idea for Mother’s Day or crafts for young children to take home. Canning jar candles are great for all Holidays as well. Add pumpkin cut outs for Halloween, little bunnies for Easter, and Christmas trees or small ornaments for Christmas. Canning candle jars make excellent fundraisers or items to sell at the next craft show. The internet offers many great canning jar candle décor ideas, especially for the holidays. Your local craft stores and the internet are great places to get canning jar candle ideas. Those of you who are more creative will have no trouble designing your own. McCall’s canning jar candles are already made. They come with wonderful labels that are very rustic looking. This candle collection comes in many wonderful fragrances with a zinc wick. These canning jar candles come in two sizes, the 5 ounce that burns for about 30-35 hours and the 16 ounce burns for 110-115 hours. The small candles retail for $13.63 and the larger ones are $24.63. While these are great candles as well, you will miss out on the experience of candle making if you choose to purchase them. You will also be able to make several of your own for the cost of one McCall’s canning jar candle. To save even more money when making canning jar candles, consider making your own votives. You can do this easily in you home. You will need paraffin wax, wick, and candle holders. You can choose to use dye for colored votives or scents to add a wonderful smell to the candles. It is very easy to melt the wax and add in whatever you want to make the color and smell you desire. Then simply pour the hot wax into the candle holders. To save even more, shop at thrift stores and yard sales for canning jars and votive holders at a very low price. Canning jar candles are very easy to make and they are very beautiful. You can make them in very little time and young children will be able to do this with ease as long as you help them with the glue gun. Make canning jar candles for you own personal use or as gifts. These cute candles are very inexpensive to make and they last a very long time, giving a delicious aroma.

Candle Making Jars

Tiffany — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 22:18:36 +0000

Homemade candle making has come a long way in the past decade. I remember when I was a child, we used to make candles using a 1/2 gallon milk container. We’d fill it up with ice and pour melted candle wax in. After it had set, we’d peel off the milk carton and you’d have a very interesting homemade candle. It kind of looked like, frozen colored ice.Nowadays with places like Micheal’s Crafts, and other large craft stores, the home crafter has access to a plethora of tools. There are different types of candle wax so that homemade candle making has gotten to be much easier than in the past. You can purchase metal and poly molds or you could actually use any jar that you like. All you have to do is fill it with the candle wax and a wick.A very inexpensive way to do your homemade candle making, is to go to your local dollar store and purchase different glass votive or glass jars, actually any glass container can be used as candle making jars. Here is a quick overview of how to make a glass jar candle. The main thing here is to use your imagination.

Almost any glass jar can be used to make candles. Tall , thin, short, fat whatever. If you are using various colored waxes the tall clear jars make a beautiful impression. Just make sure you have plenty of clearance between the burning wick and glass so it does not get to hot and break. For more information on this visit the web site at the bottom of this article. So to do your own homemade candle making, you’ll need a crock pot or double boiler to melt the wax to 160 degrees. Then you can add scented oils and food coloring. Put a dot of glue on the bottom of the metal part of the wick and place it in the candle making jars. Then pour the melted wax into the candle making jars or glass containers that you’ve purchased. Let the wax cool to a semi-hardened crust and then you can straighten out the wicks and get it centered. Let the candle cool at room temperature completely, which will be about 6-8 hours.

You’ll see that the wax has sunken a little in the middle. Now you are going to re heat the leftover wax to about 185 degrees and pour some in to your jar to level it off. Let that cool again and trim your wick to about a quarter inch, and you now have your very own homemade jar candle.The possibilities are endless; you can use any type of glass containers for your candle making jars that you like, so let your imagination go wild! Have fun with it!

Question About Large Jars Of Yankee Candles?

Tiffany — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:41:06 +0000

Maybe this is dumb question, but on the large jars of Yankee Candles, is it safe to turn the jars upside down when lighting them? LIke when the jars are only half full of wax, it’s difficult to light the wick with a match. If I turn the jar upside down to light it, I wondered if the heat from the match might cause the glass jar to explode. What tricks do people use to light candles when the wax gets lower in the glass jar?

Glass Jar Candle

Tiffany — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 09:29:59 +0000

Is it ok to microwave a candle in a glass jar??

Pot of warm water will take FOREVER.

I’ve been making candles and teaching candle classed for a few years now and if you are trying to get the leftover wax out this is what you do. Works Wonders!

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees, no higher!! Turn the candle upside down on some wax/foil that is layed down on a cookie sheet. Just keep an eye on it until it completely melts.. then wipe it down with a cloth/paper towel. Most places use glue gun glue for the bottom of the wick tabs .. so if its left in the oven long enough it will melt the glue so you can take the wick out .. if not they usually pry out pretty easy.

I have free shipping on my wonderful scented candles. They are 100% Homegrown soy and they burn side to side all of the way down leaving no extra wax .. and fill your whole house with scent! Just letting you know i have free shipping all over the US too on ALL orders

Not trying to make this an ad lol but i hear people complain all of the time about leftover wax.
