Gummy bears candle

Earlier this year I have been the March contest winner on the WhysperFairy Molds blog.

Here you'll find the booty I received from this incredibly talented woman!!!

The first mould I decided to use was the one with the bears and obviously to make a new candle.

My wax's stash is pretty empty these days, and I had to use what's left... for the gummy bears I've used soy wax while for the candle cube I've used bees wax.
Nothing to argue about soy wax (as usual), while for bees wax I must admit that the sticky texture, that remains after the candle has set, bothers me a bit...

Anyway, candle looks really cute!

Thanks again WhysperFairy Molds!

One more way to combine soy wax and gel!

The followings are all two-layered candles with the bottom layer made of gel and the upper part made of soy wax . Why combining the two of them? Because gel is transparent and allows you to embed objects   and soy wax   has an incredible  scent   throw and a long burning time ! Few simple rules for embedding objects: ideally they should be non flammable (like glass animals, shells or stones)! ...but if you do not exaggerate with the amount, you also can potentially use cinnamon sticks, dried flowers etc... To be on the safe side: if you use flammable objects I'd anyway suggest you to pour the thinnest layer of gel as possible (just to cover the embeds) and avoid burning this layer. And remember: never ever leave lit candles unattended! Let yourself be inspired and give it a try! Gel embeddings: glitters (blue candle) or sea shells (peach candle). Soy wax: caramel-scented.   G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks (left) or star
