Gel Candle Designs: Lemonade Candles

Home

by Cindi Wilson

I came up with the idea of making this Lemonade gel candles set recently. It would make a lovely summertime table accent.

I purchased Federal Star Pitchers & drinking glasses. The Federal Star glass is also known as Depression Glass.

The set utilizes a 2 quart pitcher and small glasses; all are wicked, but since the glass is very old, you might want to put a little warning label which says, "antique glassware, burn at your own risk" (If someone wanted to actually burn the pitcher candle, it would have about 300 hours burn time, and the glasses, about 50 hours burn time each).

I tore up small pieces of gel for a "crushed ice effect" and even added a few ceramic lemon slices for realism.

The gel is lemon-scented as well.

I purchase vintage trays to display the lemonade set, and sell them as a complete set.

These sets are a wonderful eye-catcher at the craft shows!

You could use any high-quality, heavy, gelsafe glassware for these, since Federal Star glassware can be difficult to find.

It is not recommend to use flammable items, dead sea creatures, or real food items in gel candles. It is recommended that you double glass your designs, with the wick and gel in the inner glass, away from the design and gel in the outer glass. It is up to the designer to ensure that the design is safe for the end user. You/Designer should provide instructional warnings to end user, especially to not leave any burning candle unattended.

Never leave a burning candle unattended. This material is NOT intended to be used by or made by children under 18 years of age without close adult supervision. Keep all candles (gel, soy, wax) away from children. Anyone younger than 18 years of age needs adult supervision to make or handle Gel Candles. safety

Burn candle only on a stable, heat-resistant surface for no more than four hours at a time. If flame gets too large or exposed wick is greater than 1/4 inch, extinguish flame and trim wick. Keep away from drafts and flammable material. Do not allow matches or wick trimmings to fall into melt pool. Never burn the last half of a candle. Do not move while burning or if gel is still hot. Keep wick centered and trimmed to 1/4 inch to prevent smoke and soot buildup. Do not extinquish gel with water -- if possible smother the flame, or use baking soda for small flames, or a fire extrinquisher.
