Container Candles Introduction Basically, a container candle is a non-flammable container filled with the appropriate wax and a suitable wick.  You can use almost anything as a container when making your candles. So for starters, open your kitchen cupboards and have a good look for unusual jars, glasses, coffee cups or small salad bowls.

 

 

 

 

Even pop cans with their tops removed will do. Though if you choose to use pop cans for your container candles you might want to decorate the cans a little! What this goes to show you however is how the only thing holding you back from wonderful container candles is your own imagination.

In fact, I remember a friend of mine even used a seashell as a container to match a decorating theme in her bathroom.  

Because your candle is in a container we can generally use a lower melt point wax which helps with scent retention and enhances the scent throw. 

They burn well all the way across, last a long time and most importantly they don’t drip.
