Wine Glasses As Candle Holders

Wine glasses are always great to look at. Besides their function, many wine glasses have innate aesthetic value. When displayed on a rack, they look elegant and symbolize taste and sophistication. Wine glasses have many uses, and can endure quite a beating during their lifetime.

If you are about to purchase a new set, do not throw away the previous ones, you can use them as decorative items by getting them painted and displayed or as gifts, or you can transform them into beautiful candle holders.

One such way is to create soy wax candles using your old wine glasses. Soy candles of various colors and aromas can be made and gently poured into glasses. These make wonderful table decorations and unique gifts for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries or even New Year's. Your family and friends will be enthralled to receive such lovely presents. In fact, when throwing a dinner party, you can place each wine glass candle at every seat, and your guest can take them home afterwards. Wine glass soy candle holders make great party flavors.

To start making these beatific creations, you will need: -

- Wine glasses (you can also buy inexpensive ones at thrift stores or hobby shops)

- Coffee mugs

- Double boiler

- Soy wax (get ones which are eco-friendly)

- Wicks

- Wax dye

- Fragrance oils (vanilla is a sure bet)

- Glue

- Candy thermometer

To begin, first make sure that your glasses are clean by rinsing them in warm tepid water. Let aerate completely. To make the clean up process speedier, your wine glasses should be assembled on a sheet of foil or newspapers.

Next, position your wick in the center of glass and use adhesive to secure via the metal tab. Purchase wicks that already come attached to tabs, your job will be easier and faster. Use a pencil to move the wick exactly dead center.

Carefully add the soy wax into the double boiler and 'cook' according to instructions. As the wax begins to thaw out, put in the candy thermometer right into the wax and secure it by the side of the double boiler. Soy waxes can be tricky as their temperatures vary, so always read the instructions and follow to the tee.

Once the soy wax is fully malleable and the temperature reading is accurate, you can now add the candle dye. Make sure the dye is fully combined and then pour gently into the mixture, doing this a little at a time. The color normally becomes lighter when the wax congeals, so be sure to add an appropriate amount. Blend concisely for about two to three minutes.

Check the temperature of the wax before putting in fragrance oil. For each pound of wax, drop about 1.5 ounces of fragrance, keeping in mind to not put too much as it will overwhelm your wax mixture.

Once this is completed, gently pour the wax into wine glasses and straighten the wicks accordingly back to the center.

The wax will harden in twenty four hours.

Once hardened, trim the wicks.

Wine Breather - Menu $69.95 Wine Breather - Menu design by Norm Architects/ Peter Orsig This elegantly designed carafe aerates your wine in one easy step. Simply press the decanter onto the top of an opened bottle of wine and flip it over so that the wine pours into the decanter. You can serve the wine from the decanter, or flip it back over once it's done and pour the aerated wine back into the bottle and serve from the original bottle. Decanting was orginally done to help remove sediment from a bottle of wine, these days most wines are filtered by the the wine maker but after 10 or so years, most red wines will develop some sediment. Young wines also benefit from decanting not because of sediment separation, but because it helps to aerate the wine. "The action of decanting itself, and the large surface area in contact with the air in the decanter, alters the wine, softening its youthful bite and encouraging the development of the more complex aromas that normally develop with years in bottle. For this reason even inexpensive wines plucked from the shelves of the local supermarket can benefit from decanting, if a first taste reveals a tannic, grippy, youthful structure." - thewinedoctor.com 44 oz H: 8.3 in Glass, Silicone, Steel, Plastic All orders over $50 receive free shipping with delivery to the 48 contiguous states. 3-5 days to ship out and receive tracking.
