Back to Beginner’s Top Which is better container or votive/pillar kits?
• It really depends on your preference. Container candles require a glass/metal container to hold the wax while it burns. Votive candles can be freestanding or require a glass votive holder. Pillar candles stand alone and can be any height or width depending on the mold used. Which is easier to make? Well none of them really. Container candles can have just as many problems as votive candles do, while pillar candles might send you screaming into the night, or vice versa. It really depends on which you prefer. If you love glass containers, order a container kit. If you want a votive centerpiece on your table, order a votive kit. If you dream of a romantic bedroom filled with pillar candles, order a pillar kit.
