Tips and Tricks

Cleaning removed with alcohol accommodate all traces of adhesive, dirt or other contaminants on the glass and is good preparation for your viewing area to paint, glitter or other mixture. The application of the glitter effect is a specific pattern outside of a ship. To avoid the surface on which I put my candle jars (because outside candle is grainy) to scratch, I put it in small pads protective clear vinyl. All the layers are deposited on the outer surface of the container, to keep the brightness of the glass inside. This allows the cleaning (traces of wax) and a less boring reflect the flame found. I chose a gold glitter and white color as the trim color for all my candle holders. But you are free to choose your colors and glitter finish color you like to fit them to your decor! Note that you could also fake gold, silver or copper leaf to make this candle. Use the wrong hand is a little more complicated, but the effect is just as bright, but less sparkling. You can also place mosquito candles to combine business with pleasure!
