Gel candles are quite different from standard paraffin or soy wax candles, they can't stand on their own and so they need to be held in a glass or heatproof container. The benefit of this though is that you can add all sorts of beautiful embellishments, such as sand, glitter, marbles, or anything fire proof! This kit comes with a selection of seashells to get you started. The gel is not only transparent but it also burns almost twice as long as a standard candle making impressive decorations that will shine evening after evening. The kit will make four candles with the glass containers included, and there's a little extra gel wax to spare for you to get creative with your own ideas.
