Dude I knew you could use glitter in candles!!! So many “ CANDLE MAKERS “ say you can’t or shouldn’t. I think the way you’re doing it is awesome! I don’t see why this wouldn’t work. I’m soooooo doing this! GLITTER is my life!!!! ❤️✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨❤️ oh yeah good job btw!!!!!!

Thank you so much! Glitter is my life too!! Haha. I would recommend using biodegradable/eco glitter because it’s actually made out of some kind of plant base, instead of plastic.

it's NOT that you can't use glitter, it is suggested that one should opt for eco glitter or biodegradable glitter. It's mainly for safety reasons. Regular glitter can be flammable and toxic when burned. It can be harmful for the environment, animals, ocean life and humans. But, yes, glitter is soooo beautiful, and these candles are amazing. Thank you for sharing this.

Love the way you showed your process!

Thank you very much! I used glitter from hobby lobby. I would look into using eco glitter. It’s a biodegradable glitter that is made from a plant type base. So when you burn the candle you won’t have to worry about the glitter burning cause most glitter is made of plastic. If you go on Amazon and look up eco -glitter, there are some nice color options😊 my next glitter candles will be with eco-glitter.

I was wondering do u need specific burnable glitter. I wondered if regular glitter gives a burning scent. And I love love love ur creativeness. You go queen. Sending love and light and good energy and postive prayer and many more blessings your way and to whoever may read this.

I have done tests runs with the glitter candles. When the wax melts the glitter floats on top of the wax and floats away from the flame. As long as you burn the candles properly and safely, the glitter does not get in contact with the flame.

I did not have any problems of the glitter clogging the wick. When I put the glitter on top, I keep the wick long, so none of the glitter gets on the wick. Once the wax is solid, that’s when I cut the wick and the glitter is set in the wax. When I burned the test candles, the glitter would float away from the wick. I would recommend using eco-glitter if you are going to try and make some 😊

It is a plant based glitter and more safe using in candles. Definitely making a eco-glitter candle video soon😊✨

what glitter are you using? Has mainstream glitter is made of plastic, it is either PLA, PET, or other types of polymers. When they burn, melted plastic creates toxic and dangerous smoke dangerous for any living creature. At the end of the day, the candle you wanted to use for relaxing, meditating, or just decorating ends up being bad for your health and contributes to pollution.Better to use Mica Powder or Biodegradable Candle Glitter.
