In this article, I'll take you step-by-step through choosing the perfect candle holder. We will focus on safety and making your candles look amazing. So, let's dive in and discover the secret to choosing the best vessel for your candle creations!
Safety first, always
When it comes to choosing a candle holder, safety should be your top priority. Whether you plan to sell your candles or give them as gifts, it's important to avoid any potential risks such as a house fire.
To ensure safety, choose a glass jar that can handle heat effectively. If you prefer materials such as cement or wood, make sure they have been properly sealed to prevent the absorption of oils and waxes, which can be fire hazards.
Although some people use wooden bowls as candle holders, I advise you to be cautious and ensure they are tightly covered to prevent any unfortunate incidents.
Aesthetic issue
The appearance of your candle plays an important role in attracting customers or recipients.
Consider your target market and the style you want to convey. Are you looking for a rustic and country look or do you want to appeal to those looking for a more luxurious and elegant experience?
Understanding your audience will help you narrow down ship options that fit your vision.
The right combination for your style
Now that you have an idea of the style you want to achieve, it's time to find a vase that fits that style perfectly.
Let's explore some options from our selection at La GrVNd Dame. For a rustic or thrifted feel, you might consider library, flint, amber or Madisons. While these jars may be more budget-friendly, you can enhance their appeal with personalized labels and lids.
On the other hand, if you are aiming for a luxury product line, our Lux jar or Terra jar exudes luxurious and noble beauty.
Remember, this is just a small sample of what we have to offer, so explore all the possibilities to find your ideal match.
Size matters – Balance between cost and design
The size of the vase plays an important role in determining the cost and overall aesthetic of the candle.
Larger jars, such as those 15 ounces or larger, will require more wax, fragrance oils, dyes (if used), and possibly larger wicks than smaller options like 106 ml library jars ours.
It is essential to consider the final cost you want to achieve when choosing a vessel. Remember that the cost of the vial, in addition to supplies, will contribute to the total cost.
Choose a size that strikes a balance between your desired cost and the visual impact you want to create.
The finishing step – Covered or uncovered?
While lids are not a necessity, they will add a finishing touch and beauty to your candle.
A candle without a lid will still function just fine, but having a lid will accentuate its overall appearance. Think of it as the cherry on top!
Furthermore, when the customer or gift recipient opens the lid, they are immediately greeted with a rich scent, which can be an attractive selling point.
So I highly recommend you consider lids for your candles. However, the final choice is yours and it will not affect the functionality of the candle.
Choosing the perfect container for your candles is an exciting journey that requires careful consideration. Remember to prioritize safety, choose jars that match your desired aesthetic, balance cost and design, and consider the benefits of using lids. Additionally, choose a wick that matches the size of your chosen vessel to ensure an optimal burning experience.
Now that you have these essential tips, go ahead and explore the wonderful world of candle holders!
