Inspiration! Some Pretty Gel Candles
Since it’s Friday, I thought I’d share some interesting gel candles that are available online. Use them as inspiration for your own candle projects this weekend, or simply have a look and be impressed with the creativity of these candle makers. Enjoy!
First we have one of the most popular types of gel candles - the seascape. Gel wax does look like water in a container, so adding shells and fish just comes naturally. Blue Chopsticks has a pretty one that features a starfish, while Joissu has made theirs look more like an aquarium.
100 Candles has taken clear glass shot glasses and suspended gold and silver flakes in their gel candles. These are so simple, but the result is quite elegant. eCrater takes the basic champagne candle one step further with strawberry champagne candles, served up in champagne flutes.
For those of you in the US, Katlyn’s Korner Gifts has a truly patriotic gel candle in red, white, and blue with suspended stars. Canadians could do something similar with red outer stripes and maple leaves suspended in the middle.
Pam’s Designs has a really cool dragon candle that actually holds tea lights — it’s everlasting this way.
If you’re in the mood for food, check out Rez Candles’ new take on the cucumber melon candle. I can’t tell if the chunks are meant to be cucumbers or melons or both, but the design is quite cute. These vanilla pudding candles from iOffer look good enough to eat!
Another candle from eCrater features chunks of gel embedded in white wax, which creates a chunky and colourful design. The Cherry Lemonade Candy candle features two wicks and a reusable glass container.
Finally, a different take on the “scene” type of candle is the garden gel candle. This one from Angelo Gifts holds miniature daisies surrounded by lots of greenery. Not sure why they would scent it in Sunflower, but it’s still a nice looking candle.
