Make your own gel candles - or buy
the finished product?
Well, it all depends on which
particular itch you want to scratch.
If you're not in a do-it-yourself mood and you know that it's
the sparkle, color and fragrance of the increasingly-popular
gel candles that you're after, you could try the web sites of
any of the reputable manufacturers listed here.
It's worth taking your time and visiting a number of sites,
because one of the attractions of gel candles is the wide
choice available....
You can find just the right shades to enhance your decor,
anything from discreet pastels to strong and vibrant primary
colors.
The clarity and brilliance of gel will lift any setting, and
you can please the eye AND the nose by choosing one of the many
scented gel candles available (would you believe almost any
fruit you can think of, freshly-baked pies and even peanut
butter?)
Gel candles generally last longer than the same size
paraffin ;candle, the scented gel candles have a
better scent "throw" (the degree to which the fragrance
permeates the room). They also give off more light (about 40%
more) because of the clarity of the gel.
You'll find a wide range of containers available, including
those with embeds (objects encased in the gel). Glass
containers are obviously the most popular, and range from fruit
jars to glasses and exotic bowls.
