Keeping Candles Upright in Candlesticks

By Sandra (Guest Post)

I found another use for used fabric softner sheets. Cut into thin strips and wrap around the bottom of the candle. The lighweight fabric adds a slight cushion that keeps the candles straight

The "special goo" mentioned by Holly above is called "Stick'um". I got it at Hobby Lobby, but I'm sure it's available other places too. It comes in a little flat tin, like shoe polish. Try scooping it straight out of the tin with the end of the candle, rather than using your fingers - it takes ages to wash off!

I always put blutack on the base of the candle and press it firmly onto the candle holder, no problems with tilting candles and if the wax has dripped at the end of the candle`s life there`s no mess, it comes cleanly away with the blutack.

Stores that sell candles have a special goo you put in the base of the candle holder to hold the candle upright. Might even find it at an arts 'n crafts store.

A rubber band around the end of the candle works, but the hot wax thing is easier.

Hi Cindy,
Take a lighter or another candle and melt the end of the candle a little holding it over the candle holder till a few drops fall in, then immediately put it in the candle holder and hold it for a few seconds. That usually works for me.
