Non-flammable items like sand, shells, metal charms, beads, marbles, pebbles, glitters, aquarium gravel, artificial jewel or pearls, and so on are among the most ideal things to include and add on to your scented gel candle to make it unique.
2. Add colors that match the items you use and include within you scented candle. If you want the touch of “beach”, you can use aqua blue along with some shells, aquarium pebbles or gravel. A very stylish idea would be to include a miniature star fish in your candle. You could go on to mixing beads with glitters on your candle as well, as long as you always keep in mind color coordination.
3. Place some of these little objects at the bottom part of the container before freely putting them in the other portions of the container. This will help hide the wick tab.
4. As you pour scented gel candle, add these tiny objects slowly in layers. Ensure that you place these objects away from the wick. Keep in mind that: the closer the objects you add on are to the outside portion of the container, the more “visible” they will finally be.

As you develop your own unique sense of style, do not forget to work safely and do not risk quality of the product over appearance. There needs to be a balance of both to create the perfect candle. In the end enjoy the art of candle making, and enjoy decorating your home with your own little creations.
