Jar Candles

.....A Dream is a wish your heart makes.....
Copyright 2002-2003 Karen Challender
Each jar started out with a coat of tile and glass medium, which adheres to nonporous surfaces, such as glass, and creates a porous service for the paint to adhere to. They then receive 4 coats of acrylic base coat, the design is painted on and finally, a sealant is applied to keep the design safe forever. 

The glass medium and sealant are water based and non flammable products. They are intended for candle use.

It's actually quite a long process because each coat much cure before the next coat is applied. But the results are worth the time it takes to paint them. I hope you'll enjoy these candles as much as I've enjoyed painting them.

These candles would look great anywhere in your home or would make a unique, one of a kind gift for someone special or for someone who is hard to buy gifts for! They would also make a great start to a centerpiece and also look great paired  with any of the other candles found on Karens Kandles.

The great thing about these candles is that they will last forever. Just refill the votive holder with your favorite votive candle over and over again...
