Votives....small but wonderful!

Little lovely votives! These are the smallest candles we make and the fastest. This is part of the reason I like them so much.

Once the wax is heated I pore it into tiny, votive size molds that already have a "auto wicking pin" in them. This pin leaves a space in the center of the candle that can be removed once the wax has harden and replaced with a wick. You can see in the picture to the right the candles in their molds and the pins inside. The wax when making these candles hardens really quickly so I can usually do about 50 candles every time I melt wax.

Votive candles need to be placed in a holder that is snug around the candle so that any wax that drips off will be collected and used up by the wick later.

Votive candles cost $2.50 each.
