If the thrift glassware contains lead in the glass is it safe to make a candle in it? Was wondering about the heat causing a vapor in the air from the glass?? I cannot find an answer when researching it myself.

Cant wait to try this!! So cute! Would be a good idea for Christmas gifts too! Finding holiday glass containers and vintage pieces will be half the fun!

Can I use essential oil in place of the fragrance?

Love this project! I have depression glass candy dishes with lids that were my Aunt's, and they have been in storage for years because I really have no place to display them. Making a candle out of them would e perfect! Thank you for the idea!

I absolutely adore this idea and I’m thinking of setting up a small business selling candles in thrifted glass but am worried about some glassware not being safe for candles. I don’t want to sell somebody a candle and have it crack and explode. Do you know if all thrifted glassware is safe?

In reply to D Bell. The other 7 projects the other bloggers made are down toward the bottom of the post beneath the big blue circle. Do you think I should make that even more prominent? Maybe a big box surrounding that section? Don't think I've ever been accused of tricking anyone about anything, so I want to make sure everyone can see it easily :)

The candle is nice. What about all the other items that made me click on this? I feel tricked, again.

Great idea - very pretty! How much of the 1 lb. box of wax did you use for this candle? Thanks!

What an exceptionally pretty candy dish for your candle-making endeavors! I like the color of the dish and size, and I bet that candle smells great. In fact, I was just noticing that the candles for sale in my little antique mall the other day looked exactly like the ones you describe & I think yours looks much better.
