What's the new trend in candles? It's beautifully clear - gel candles have an intriguing, transparent appearance that will transfix the eye and look perfect in translucent, see-through containers. And, they burn longer than wax! Working with this medium is simple: Just prepare a bottle, urn, or other holder with a wick, then melt and pour in the gel. Don't like the results? Then remelt the candle and try again! Tint or scent the gel, or embed something interesting and nonflammable in the candle itself. These projects will inspire you to new imaginative heights. They range from fun and funky, like a candle in a martini glass with an olive on the bottom, to simply beautiful (with gold angels inside), to practical and pretty--including small colored candles fragrant with aromatherapy oils. Make a Christmas snow globe with ornaments or Easter candles with dyed eggs; ones for birthdays and weddings, and placed in beer and tea glasses; and even a glow-in-the-dark candle to light up your night!
