Votive Candle Holders

Votive candles are the easiest and most appealing of all candle styles to burn.
They will burn for up to 20 hours depending of course on the brand quality.
Votive candle must be burned in a correctly sized holder.
Anytime that you are burning candles they need to carefully monitored.
Keep the wicks trimmed to a quarter of an inch to prevent a high flame from forming and to prevent the burnt wick parts from falling into the liquid wax, which can ignite and cause two wicks to be burning in a small container.
Most brand name candles will also carry their own line of holding containers which are properly sized for their own candles.
It is best to use this correct size so as to avoid burning a too large votive candle in a smaller holder and causing the melted wax to spill over or to prevent a candle which is too small for the votive holder from burning itself up too quickly in a container which is too big.
That being said, the choices for the actual votive holders themselves is endless.
Votive candles can be placed in contrasting colored glass holders, or complimenting hues of the same tone.
There is no standard to the actual votive holder itself, only to the size of the burning compartment.
The votive candle is designed to burn itself down into the votive holder and in the best of circumstances, is allowed to burn long enough so as to liquefy itself into a beautiful display of color inside the holder.
Votive candle are made in traditional rounded shapes as well as square and of course the votive holder must be chosen to properly burn these perspective votive candles.
The votive holders may compliment a room decor or simply reflect the users personality and taste.
Some prefer a clear glass or a frosted colored glass, while others prefer a whimsical character or a particular themed shape.
Votive holders can be purchased in the shapes and colors of flowers, natural earthen textures and shapes, a variety of animals such as bunnies, horses, dolphins, kittens, or even just a simple drinking glass shaped votive holder which will fit nicely down into something else such as a tin watering can with punch-out designs.
The possibilities are endless when deciding on preference to votive candle holders.
Many choose to begin collections because there is such a variety to choose from.
