| COLOUR DE VERRE CANDLE HOLDERS | ||||
| These gorgeous candle holders are the latest frit molds from Colour de Verre. These innovative two-part molds allow people to create beautiful tea light holders. There's 3 new shapes to the candle holders; a 5" round, a 3" square, and a curve candle holder that measures 7" long by 3-4" wide. Make 5 curved pieces to make a complete circle or combine 2 or more to make a wave. The two part mold consists of a mold that has a cavity and a plug that is suspended in the center of the cavity. The plug is removed after the glass has been fired. These molds can be filled with any size frit, sheet glass, or broken billets. Even glass scraps yield excellent results. Check out Colour de Verre's Gallery Page for some amazing creations using these wonderful box molds. Colour de Verre molds can be filled with glass powders, glass frits, dichroic frit or cut pieces of glass. Each mold comes with instructions and fill weights. Primo Primer is highly recommended by Colour de Verre for use with their molds. If you would like to use a boron nitride spray release for your molds, Colour de Verre highly recommends MR-97. |
