Candles in Glass: Experience the magic of candlelight in stylish glasses, create your own scented candles, and give joy with homemade, individual creations.

Candles in glass are a popular choice for those who want to decorate their home and create a cozy atmosphere. This type of candle burns safer than freestanding candles, as they are surrounded by glass and thus protected from wind and drafts.

Why should you choose a candle in glass?

There are many reasons why you should choose a candle in glass. First of all, they are very safe, as the glass surrounds the wax and flame, thus preventing the wax from spreading all over the room or the flame from going out. Even if you let the candle in glass burn for a longer time, there is no danger of the glass breaking or the wax settling on furniture or carpets.

Another advantage of candles in glass is that they are easy to transport. For example, if you are expecting guests and want to prepare the dining room for a festive dinner, you can easily carry the candles in glass from one room to another without the flame going out or the wax melting.

Visually, candles in glass are also a great choice. They are available in various sizes, shapes, and colors, so you can always find a model that suits your home. You can place the candles in glass on a table, a mantelpiece, or a shelf and decorate them with pine greenery, Christmas ornaments, or other small decorations. This way, you can create new creative arrangements again and again and decorate your rooms according to the season or occasion.

How do you make a candle in glass?

Making a candle in glass yourself is not that difficult. All you need is a heat-resistant and tightly closing glass, wax, and a wick.

Step 1: Choose the glass

The first step in making a candle in glass is choosing the glass. It is important that the glass is heat-resistant and tightly closing so that the wax doesn’t leak out and the flame is protected. A good choice are glasses made of tempered glass, such as drinking glasses or jam jars. Make sure that the glass has no cracks or blemishes and that it can stand stably on a level surface.

Step 2: Heat the wax

After you have selected the glass, you can heat the wax. For this, you need a wax pot in which you heat the wax until it is liquid. It is important that you heat the wax at medium heat and stir it constantly so that it melts evenly and no lumps form.

Step 3: Fill the glass with wax

Once the wax is liquid, you can pour it into the glass. Keep in mind that the wax in the glass cools and contracts a little, so you shouldn’t fill the glass too full. Also leave enough space for the wick. If you like, you can also add a few drops of fragrance oil to the wax to create a pleasant scent. Carefully stir the oil in so that it is evenly distributed in the wax.

Step 4: Insert the wick

Let the wax in the glass cool and then insert a wick in the center. The wick should be long enough to reach all of the wax so that the candle burns evenly. Make sure that the wick is straight and not at an angle in the wax, as this can affect the burning.

Step 5: Light the candle

Once the wick is inserted, you can light the candle. Use a lighter or a match and hold the flame to the wick until it burns. Make sure that the flame is not too high and that it does not spread to the glass. Let the candle burn for a few minutes so that the wax heats up evenly and a stable flame forms.

Step 6: Enjoy the light and fragrance

Once the candle in glass is burning, you can place it in a suitable location and enjoy the cozy atmosphere. You can place the candle in glass on a table, a mantelpiece, or a shelf and decorate it with pine greenery, Christmas ornaments, or other small decorations. This way, you can create new creative arrangements again and again and decorate your rooms according to the season or occasion.

Candles in glass as a gift

Candles in glass are also excellent as a gift. They are beautiful to look at and spread a soothing atmosphere, which is why they are popular with many people. If you want to make a friend, family member, or colleague happy, you can give them a homemade candle in glass. You can fill the glass with wax in the desired color and choose a suitable fragrance. You can also add small objects like star anise, orange slices, or dried herbs to the wax to give the candle a special touch. A pretty packaging and a personal note, for example in the form of a card or a letter, round off the gift and make it something very special.
