this is a really cool idea!! i cant believe i never thought about it. i collect shot glasses so i have a bunch from around the world that just sit around collecting dust on a shelf since i have so many. i also looove candles and am lighting them all the time, now i can make these and scatter them all around my house and out them to good use! thanks!

This looks awesome! I really want to make some candles for my mum for her birthday, but i would prefer that they're scented. What do you suggest I add to the wax to make it smell nice when the candle is burning? And also, do you need wax dye specifically, or can it be food dye? Thanks for putting this up!
a gd idea is 2 put selotape across the shot glassand cut a slit in it and slot the wick in it...i shuld shold it up...i hav tried it but only making a lolly for the stick to be held up...andway hpe tht helps...i hav a big brain 4 sme1 who is 11!!!!!
I'm 21, so I'm guessing that you're the youngest crafty person to have ever come to this blog. You can do this in the microwave to protect your hands. I live in Dundee in Scotland, though I might move to London at some point next year.
Try adding a little bit of Olive oil to the glass before you add the wax. It makes the excess wax easy to remove later, in case you want to switch colors or something.
those are cute. I'd make some but despite the fact that 2 of my flatmates work in bars we have no shot glasses.
Wax crayons are pretty good for dyeing candles - although they can stop it burning so well if you use too much. I haven't made candles for years, it was fun though.
