Steps for Finding the Perfect Drip Candles

  Search the Internet. Google searches for drip candles bring up a variety of large and small distributors. Make sure you search under the term Chianti bottle candles as well. Search more broadly for candle distributors, as they often carry drip candles too. Look for a section to search the site for drip candles specifically once you find candle companies that seem to have a wide variety of candles in stock. Also search novelty stores and craft suppliers.

  Decide which type of drip candle will fill your decorative needs. For a Halloween party, try drip candles that are white but appear to bleed red. Buy drip candles in black-light reactive colors if you have black lights in your living room. If you want your drip candles to change colors while they burn, buy candles that drip in a multitude of colors as they melt. Buy sets of different-colored individual candles if you like the effect created by layering larger pieces of multicolored wax.

  Comparison shop to find the best price for your drip candles. Remember to compare shipping costs if you are buying online, because those added costs can get quite pricey. Before you buy, try to find a distributor that offers a deal on shipping. When comparing costs, make sure to factor in the additional cost you'll have to spend on shipping versus buying from a local distributor.
