SPARKLING SNOWFLAKES….

Our Sparkling-Snowflake Candle are scented with our newest festive scent, "Holiday Icicles". We have always found that anything BLUE is a top seller in candles.

We used just a few sprinkles of our Blue Color Crystals (no mess like liquids!) in melted gel for beautiful winter-blue color. We also added a few sprinkles of celestial blue glitter to add the necessary glimmer.

We selected a piece of glassware with flat sides so that our wax snowflakes would easily be visible, right up close to the glass wall.

We poured the gel and then MOST IMPORTANTLY... waited… the necessary time for the gel to cool to about 140-150 degrees. (Check with candy thermometer if you are just learning wax embedding.)

Next we dusted our white wax snowflakes with celestial silver glitter to give them depth and more definition once embedded.

Using our embedding tool (BET) we positioned the wax flakes around the sides of the candle.

Our finishing touch is to embed a couple iridescent 1" glitter snowflakes between the wax snowflakes…this is a really popular look because these flakes show only from certain angles so that they magically appear and disappear.

We also added a very slight dusting of celestial glitter to the TOP of the candle for that added sparkling finish.

That's all and simply beautiful!
