I love this!
Yeah these are really awesome, I made a few already and I have so many ideas or experiments I want to do with these.
These Teardrops are so pretty! Maybe I missed it somewhere, but is this made with soy or paraffin?

wont the balloon pop in the hot wax? also when burning a tea light candle in this wax holder, wont the holder melt?

Hello,
I would like to ask you some questions.
First of all, the type of the balloons which are used for making the "teardrop luminaries" is specific or we can use any balloon we want?
And, Does the wax that is used for these candles have to be transparent or not ?
Thank you very much.
excellent demonstration and what a great idea. I am impressed with the quality of this work. I too have the same question, can I use any kind of balloon or is there any special kind we need to use?
Thank you

thanq.................. it is good ,,,,,,,,,,,,,but how colore candles get
Freekin AWESOME!! I have been playing with wax for years and NEVER new how to make these!! Great way to use old wax that does not want to burn well anymore. SWEET!
These are beautiful and I could imagine them dipped in layers of colors or rolled in sand, sequins, tiny seashells, beads, herbs or glitter too. I would definately add vybar into the wax to harden them up and use flameless candles inside or tealights under close supervision. They might be neat to float in the pool with flameless candles inside. You might be able to ruffle the top too or poke little holes in the edges with something warm to give it a lace look. I should think thick latex balloons should hold up well with the dipping. The cool water inside the balloon would keep the wax from popping the balloon and help it harden up quicker.
i want to try this...so simple n beautiful...so elegant...i like it
