Is this a fire hazard? (stupid question)

I should add the venue allows open flame.

I doubt the votives would break since they are made to hold candles. As for glue and glitter, read the bottles that you buy if they are flammable they should say. If you are really worried you can always use electric candles.

Not sure on an answer, but now I'm envisioning some cute glass votive holders with glitter on the inside and I want to make some for my centerpieces, lol.

The candles are not in their own containers. I would be placing them inside the vases. Naked candles for lack of a better term.

haha Future Mrs. Wilson I'm hoping they're going to turn out! The glitter makes it a little more exciting and does cool things with the light (from what I've seen online).

I would do a small test, putting a small patch of about 3"x3" near the top of the candle put the candle in the jar in the kitchen sink or bathtub, and light the candle and see.... If you're using elmer's glue it is flammable but is not high risk to ignite, and can be extinguished with a big pot of water, so just have a pot of water handy, and douse it with water if the glue melts or glitter burns.

I would not put the glitter all the way to the top, just in case - the mylar (which is the glitter) is flammable and keeping it an inch or so from the top of the glass may be a way to be extra safe.

Yes I plan to have the glitter just cover the first few bottom inches of the jar, not go all the way up. I suppose alternatively I can paint the outside instead, but I still want the shine of the glass and I really hate glitter getting everywhere.

My advice is the same as Rebecca. Do a test first if you are not sure. Put it in a sink or bathtub so you can put out any fires easily.

A glass vase is not tempered like a votive made of glass would be. It could crack from the heat.

I don't know if the glitter would be flammable. But, I had taper candles on my dining table. They had a metallic silver coating on the outside. That coating caught FIRE and flamed up big!
